AMD3100-mediated CXCR4 inhibition impairs development of primary lymphoma of the central nervous system

132 views | Jul 13 2023

The inhibition of CXCR4-CXCL12 interactions by AMD3100 in primary lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNSL) downregulates CD200 expression in lymphoma cells, leading to increased microglial activation, impaired lymphoma cell invasion, and reduced tumor size, suggesting the potential therapeutic utility of AMD3100 in PCNSL.
