Abstract:Chemokine CCL18 plays significant roles in immune regulation by recruiting of inflammatory cells, which involves in immune and inflammatory processes. CCL18 protein is overexpressed in the serum of patients with cancer and some tumor tissues. However, it is still controversial that CCL18 plays the role of tumor promoter or tumor suppressor. Researches on the roles and mechanisms of CCL18 can provide new target for diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
