| Research Abstract |
We examined the effect and mechanism of CXCR4-CXCL12 signaling pathway in colorectal cancer cells. The CXCR4-CXCL12 system plays a role for proliferation, invasion, and tube formation of CXCR4-expressing colorectal cancer cells. Anticancer drug: 5FU inhibited proliferation and invasion activity of the colorectal cancer cells through down-regulation of CXCR4 expression. The CXCR4-CXCL12 signaling is an important biological mediator of colorectal cancer cells, suggesting that it is an important factor for the function of metastatic activity.
