CXCR4, the receptor for the chemokine CXCL12 (also known as SDF-1), also plays an important role in facilitating macrophage migration in vivo.
PMID:22025564
PGE(2) was essential both for expression of functional CXCR4 in cancer-associated MDSCs and for production of its ligand CXCL12 by tumor cells. Frequencies of CD11b(+)CD14(+)CD33(+)CXCR4(+) MDSCs closely correlated with CXCL12 and PGE(2) levels in patient ascites. MDSCs migrated toward ovarian cancer ascites in a CXCR4-dependent manner that required COX2 activity and autocrine PGE(2) production.
