Furthermore, differentially transcriptional levels of CXC chemokines in the GEPIA2 online database consistently showed higher transcriptional levels of CXCL1, CXCL3, CXCL4, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL13, CXCL14, CXCL16, and CXCL17 in PAAD (all p < 0.01, Figure 2). Here, CXCL5 is linked to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
