The Expression of Functional Chemokine Receptor CXCR4 Is Associated with the Metastatic Potential of Human Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Abstract

The expression of functional CXCR4 but not CCR7 is correlated with the metastatic potential of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Therefore, CXCR4 may be considered as a potential target for the prevention of nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis.
