Inhibition of CXCLs/CXCR2 axis in the tumor microenvironment might be a potent therapeutics for pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is characterized by expanded stroma with marked fibrosis. In Ijichi et al., we show that inhibiting CXCR2 disrupts tumor-stromal interactions and improves survival of a genetically-engineered mouse model recapitulating human pancreatic cancer. Targeting CXCLs/CXCR2 axis in the tumo...

Sumario:Pancreatic cancer is characterized by expanded stroma with marked fibrosis. In Ijichi et al., we show that inhibiting CXCR2 disrupts tumor-stromal interactions and improves survival of a genetically-engineered mouse model recapitulating human pancreatic cancer. Targeting CXCLs/CXCR2 axis in the tumor microenvironment might be a potent therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer.
