CX3CL1 and breast cancer: Cytokine CXCL13 and CX3CL1 were high in the serum of breast cancer patients, which could eventually led to enhanced permeability [56]. Tau protein, majorly located in CNS, involved in microtubule stabilization and polymerization, was evaluated for diagnosing BrM from BC, and it was revealed that Tau level in serum could independently predict BrM [54].
