CCL2 elevation

Here, we show that systemic paclitaxel administration upregulates the expression of neurotrophin-3 (Nt3) mRNA and NT3 protein in the neurons of dorsal root ganglia (DRG), but not in the spinal cord...Given that CCL2 is an endogenous initiator of CINP and that Nt3 mRNA co-expresses with TrkC and Ccl2 mRNAs in DRG neurons, NT3 likely contributes to CINP through TrkC-mediated activation of the Ccl2 gene in DRG neurons. NT3 may be thus a potential target for CINP treatment.

Finally, CD36 was verified to have a prometastatic role in vitro and to be correlated with POSTN expression, metastasis and recurrence in HCC in clinical samples. Our findings revealed that crosstalk between HCC and EPCs is mediated by periostin/CCL2/CD36 signalling which promotes HCC metastasis and emphasizes a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing HCC metastasis.

CCL2 can be used as a predictor of prognosis as well as immunotherapy response in GBM, offering potential clinical implications.

Therefore, our results indicate that CCL2 promotes metastasis and EMT of NSCLC via PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis and autophagy signalling pathways. We believe that CCL2 could be a probable target for the diagnosis and therapeutics of NSCLC, and this study may expand our understanding of lung cancer.

The study here suggests that circulating cytokines/chemokines are feasible, noninvasive biomarkers for predicting clinical benefit of ICI treatment for NSCLC. Distinct circulating factor profiles were observed in individuals receiving ICI monotherapy or combination therapy.

Our results provide evidence of Treg as a possible therapeutic target in EC. The impact of CCL22 regarding its different localisations should further be investigated.

Further analysis from TIDE showed the high expression of CCL17/CCL22 might predict favorable responses to immune checkpoint blockade therapy in HNSCC patients. These findings provide an insight into the predictive roles of CCL17/CCL22 in HNSCC.

This finding supports relevant pathogenetic and clinical aspects of the human disease, while the demonstrated early control of neuroinflammation and BBB permeability exerted by treatment with MSCs may have important therapeutic implications.

Our study indicates that PDAC cells produced CCL2, which promoted localized M-MDSC recruitment and immune suppression, thereby promoting tumor progression.
