CCR2 activation following binding to CCL2 in MAMs, induces the secretion of the chemokine ligand CCL3 by macrophages at the metastatic site; this enables the retention of macrophages at the lung and increases the number of lung metastatic foci, whereas inhibition of CCR1, the receptor of CCL3, may have therapeutic implications in breast cancer lung metastasis [31]. This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and breast carcinoma.
