I try to add what we know about CCR5 and cancers .
Post# of 148320
Please add or correct anything here ...
1.) CCR5 makes cancers cells metastasize ( The GPS effect )
.....by calcium channel signaling on CCR5 on cancer cells, which is important to produce metastasis..
Leronlimab is blocking this calcium channel signaling .
2 .) CCR5 activate DNA mechanism ,
....... cancer cells recuperate much faster after chemotherapy ,
becoming resistant to treatment ,
Leronlimab is blocking that.
3. ) Regulate body anti-tumor response..
........A---there is polarization of macrophages with CCR5 inhibitors.
process by witch macrophages adopt different functional programs..
M0 -- uncommitted macrophages.
M1 --classically activated , producing pro-inflammatory process , and irritation of immune response.
M2 --alternatively activated , turning on constructive process , like wound healing , producing anti-inflammatory cytokines.
All this help to produce necrosis in tumor cells.
..........B.--From Dr Patterson we also know that CCR5 is expressed on the population of immune cells call T regulatory cells which inhibits response to cancers.
4. ) Recently from Dr Lindner pre-clinical study in colon cancer we learned that Leronlimab inhibits angiogenesis , and is working on solid tumors with both high and low CCR5 expression.
