The study revealed that frequencies of CD11b(+)CD14(+)CD33(+)CXCR4(+) MDSC migration closely correlates with PGE2 and CXCL12 levels in patient ascites, suggesting a central role for PGE2 in MDSC accumulation regulated by the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway and providing a novel rationale to target PGE2 signaling in ovarian cancer treatment (Obermajer et al., 2011). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL12 and ovarian cancer.
