Abstract: Chemokines and their receptors play an important role in many biological processes such as inflammation and angiogenesis. Chemokine CXCL1 is a monomeric protein of chemotaxis cytokines. It usually binds to G protein coupled receptor CXCR2 specifically, and has effects on tumor growth, proliferation, metastasis, invasion and angiogenesis in various cancers. This paper mainly focuses on the role of a subfamily member of chemokine CXCs, CXCL1 in tumors, and of upstream regulatory factors on its expression, in order to explore the relationship between CXCL1 and tumor progress.
