Seems so obvious now. Sheesh. I shoulda just read the flipping paper. It woulda saved my whole evening....

“2. Involvement of the CCL5/CCR5 Axis in Cancer Progression
The CCL5/CCR5 axis facilitates tumor progression through multiple mechanisms (Figure 1). It increases tumor growth (1), induces extracellular matrix remodeling (2), enhances tumor cell migration (metastasis formation) (3), supports cancer stem cell expansion (4), enables cancer cell resistance to drugs (5,6), decreases the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents (5), deregulates cellular energetics (metabolic reprogramming) (7), promotes angiogenesis (, recruits immune and stromal cells (9), and induces the immunosuppressive polarization of macrophages “
