CXCL13-CXCR5 axis: Regulation in inflammatory diseases and cancer

Biochim Biophys Acta Rev Cancer. 2022 Sep;1877(5):188799. doi: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2022.188799. Epub 2022 Sep 11.

Abstract

Chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 13 (CXCL13), originally identified as a B-cell chemokine, plays an important role in the immune system. The interaction between CXCL13 and its receptor, the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) CXCR5, builds a signaling network that regulates not only normal organisms but also the development of many diseases. However, the precise action mechanism remains unclear. In this review, we discussed the functional mechanisms of the CXCL13-CXCR5 axis under normal conditions, with special focus on its association with diseases. For certain refractory diseases, we emphasize the diagnostic and therapeutic role of CXCL13-CXCR5 axis.
