CXCL5
CXCL5 is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as epithelial-derived neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (ENA-78). It is produced following stimulation of cells such as epithelial cells, platelets, and monocytes with the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Expression of this gene is also induced by epidermal growth factor.
Function[edit | edit source]
CXCL5 is a chemotactic agent for neutrophil granulocytes. It attracts these cells by interacting with the cell surface chemokine receptor CXCR2. Its gene is located in a cluster of other chemokines on chromosome 4q13.3 in humans.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
CXCL5 has been implicated in various inflammatory and cancer-related conditions. It is associated with inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lung fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. In cancer, it has been shown to promote angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis.
