Abstract

Metastasis is a major cause of morbidity in prostate cancer(PCa).Several studies have shown that the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand,SDF-1(stromal cell-derived factor-1),regulate tumor cell metastasis to specific organs.Recently,it was demonstrated that SDF-1 enhances PCa cell adhesion,migration,and invasion,implicating CXCR4 in PCa metastasis.As the specific inhibitors of chemokine receptor CXCR4:AMD3100,T22,T140 and human scFv have been confirmed to inhibit the metastasis of tumor cells in vitro,and have a wide clinical application in the prevention and treatment of PCa metastasis.
