Summary of Immunologic functions of CXCR3.

Cancer Function Consequences Citations
Prostate CD4+ T-cell recruitment Increased cancer cell invasion [49]
Melanoma CD8+ T-cell Recruitment, Suppress T-reg function Decreased metastasis [5458]
Increased PD-L1 expression in cancer cells Decreased immune infiltrate [53]
Colorectal Associated with increased Th1 and CD8+ signatures and associated with reduced TNM stage [6971]
Increased NK-cell infiltrate Reduced tumor growth and metastasis in mice [71]
Breast Increased NK-cell recruitment, Decreased myeloid cell infiltrate Increased tail-vein metastasis [7274]
Increased CD4+ T-cell and NK-cell recruitment Reduced tumor growth and metastasis [8991]
Ovarian Recruitment of Tregs Undetermined [99]
Associated with increased number of T-cells and NK cells Associated with increased survival [100]
Gastric Positively associated with increased CD4+ and CD8+ infiltrates Associated with increased overall survival [75, 76]
Increased PD-L1 expression in cancer cells Undetermined [16]
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Increased Treg recruitment Increased likelihood of tumor recurrence [81]
Increased alternative macrophage activation Suppressed anti-tumor immune response [82]
Alternate macrophage polarization Suppressed anti-tumor immune response [83]
Pancreatic Cancer T-reg recruitment Association with poor prognosis [85,86]
Suppressed CD8+ T-cell function Association with poor outcome and more rapid tumor progression in mice [84, 87]
