Scientific Background

CXCL1(Chemokine, CXC motif, Ligand 1), also called GRO1, SCYB1, GROA or MGSA, is a \nsmall cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that was previously called GRO1 oncogene, \nGROalpha, KC, Neutrophil-activating protein 3 (NAP-3) and melanoma growth stimulating activity, alpha \n(MSGA-alpha). In humans, this protein is encoded by the CXCL1 gene. The CXCL1 gene is mapped on \n4q13.3. CXCL1 is secreted by human melanoma cells, has mitogenic properties and is implicated in \nmelanoma pathogenesis. CXCL1 is expressed by macrophages, neutrophils and epithelial cells, and \nhas neutrophil chemoattractant activity. CXCL1 plays a role in spinal cord development by inhibiting the \nmigration of oligodendrocyte precursors and is involved in the processes of angiogenesis, inflammation,\nwound healing, and tumorigenesis. Signaling through Cxcr2, Cxcl1 inhibited oligodendrocyte precursor \nmigration. The migrational arrest was rapid, reversible, and concentration dependent, and it reflected \nenhanced cell/substrate interactions. White matter expression of Cxcl1 was temporospatially \nregulated. Others contribute to aggressive growth selectivity in the lung. Among the lung metastasis \nsignature genes identified, several, including CXCL1, were functionally validated.
