Abstract: Chemokines are a class of low molecular weight cytokines,which play an important role in regulating the tumor microenvironment.Chemokines in the tumor microenvironment can not only trend chemotactic leukocytes,but also induce nearby respond cells to affect tumor growth,invasion,metastasis and angiogenesis.Chemokines are closely related to the occurrence and development of inflammation diseases and tumors.Among them,chemokine CCL20 in the CC family plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of various malignant tumors.In recent years,it has been found that the chemokine CCL20 plays an important regulatory role in breast cancer immunosuppression,angiogenesis,induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition,tumor invasion and metastasis.However,the mechanism of CCL20 action in breast cancer is not fully understood.This article focuses on the function of CCL20,a member of the chemokine CC subfamily,in the breast cancer microenvironment,and discusses the relationship between CCL20 and the breast cancer microenvironment,in order to provide new ideas for breast cancer targeted therapy.
