Chemokine signaling in tumors: potential role of CXC chemokines and their receptors as glioblastoma therapeutic targets.
Introduction: Glioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor, typically associated with poor prognosis. Its treatment is challenging due to the peculiar glioblastoma cell biology and its microenvironment complexity. Specifically, a small fraction of glioma stem cells within the tumor mass drives tumor growth and invasiveness by hijacking brain resident and immune cells. This process also involves modification of extracellular matrix components, such as collagen and glycoproteins, where the secretion of soluble mediators, particularly CXC chemokines, plays a significant role.
Areas covered: We analyze the critical role of chemokines in glioblastoma tumorigenesis, proliferation, angiogenesis, tumor progression, and brain parenchyma invasiveness. Recent evidence highlights how chemokines and their receptors impact glioblastoma biology and represent potential therapeutic targets. Several studies show that chemokines modulate glioblastoma development by acting on glioma stem cell proliferation and self-renewal, promoting vasculogenic mimicry, and altering the extracellular matrix to facilitate tumor invasiveness.
Expert opinion: There is clear evidence supporting CXC receptors (such as CXCR1, 2, 3, 4, and ACKR3/CXCR7) and their signaling pathways as promising pharmacological targets. This in-depth review of chemokine roles in glioblastoma development provides a critical evaluation of the possible clinical translation of innovative compounds targeting these ligand/receptor systems, leading to improved therapeutic outcomes for glioblastoma patients.
