CXCR5

The BLR1 / CXCR5 gene is specifically expressed in Burkitt's lymphoma and lymphatic tissues, such as follicles in lymph nodes as well as in spleen. The gene plays an essential role in B cell migration.{{cite journal | vauthors = Förster R, Mattis AE, Kremmer E, Wolf E, Brem G, Lipp M | title = A putative chemokine receptor, BLR1, directs B cell migration to defined lymphoid organs and specific anatomic compartments of the spleen | journal = Cell | volume = 87 | issue = 6 | pages = 1037–1047 | date = December 1996 | pmid = 8978608 | doi = 10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81798-5 | s2cid = 17558174 | doi-access = free }} Through CXCL13 secretions B cells are able to locate the lymph node.

Additionally, some recent studies have suggested that CXCL13, through CXCR5, is capable of recruiting hematopoietic precursor cells (CD3⁻ CD4⁺) which would cause the development of lymph nodes and Peyer's Patches.{{cite journal | vauthors = Honda K, Nakano H, Yoshida H, Nishikawa S, Rennert P, Ikuta K, Tamechika M, Yamaguchi K, Fukumoto T, Chiba T, Nishikawa SI | title = Molecular basis for hematopoietic/mesenchymal interaction during initiation of Peyer's patch organogenesis | journal = The Journal of Experimental Medicine | volume = 193 | issue = 5 | pages = 621–630 | date = March 2001 | pmid = 11238592 | pmc = 2193398 | doi = 10.1084/jem.193.5.621 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Finke D, Acha-Orbea H, Mattis A, Lipp M, Kraehenbuhl J | title = CD4+CD3- cells induce Peyer's patch development: role of alpha4beta1 integrin activation by CXCR5 | journal = Immunity | volume = 17 | issue = 3 | pages = 363–373 | date = September 2002 | pmid = 12354388 | doi = 10.1016/S1074-7613(02)00395-3 | doi-access = free }}

Other studies highlight the role of CXCR5 in T cells, as they are unable to access B cell follicles without CXCR5 expression.{{cite journal | vauthors = Junt T, Fink K, Förster R, Senn B, Lipp M, Muramatsu M, Zinkernagel RM, Ludewig B, Hengartner H | title = CXCR5-dependent seeding of follicular niches by B and Th cells augments antiviral B cell responses | journal = Journal of Immunology | volume = 175 | issue = 11 | pages = 7109–7116 | date = December 2005 | pmid = 16301613 | doi = 10.4049/jimmunol.175.11.7109 | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Hardtke S, Ohl L, Förster R | title = Balanced expression of CXCR5 and CCR7 on follicular T helper cells determines their transient positioning to lymph node follicles and is essential for efficient B-cell help | journal = Blood | volume = 106 | issue = 6 | pages = 1924–1931 | date = September 2005 | pmid = 15899919 | doi = 10.1182/blood-2004-11-4494 | doi-access = free }} This is a key step in the production of high affinity antibodies as B cells and T cells need to interact in order to activate the Ig class switch.

Recently, it was shown that CXCR5 overexpression in breast cancer patients highly correlates with lymph node metastases,{{cite journal | vauthors = Biswas S, Sengupta S, Roy Chowdhury S, Jana S, Mandal G, Mandal PK, Saha N, Malhotra V, Gupta A, Kuprash DV, Bhattacharyya A | title = CXCL13-CXCR5 co-expression regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition of breast cancer cells during lymph node metastasis | journal = Breast Cancer Research and Treatment | volume = 143 | issue = 2 | pages = 265–276 | date = January 2014 | pmid = 24337540 | doi = 10.1007/s10549-013-2811-8 | s2cid = 2937341 }} and elevated CXCR5 expression may contribute to abnormal cell survival and migration in breast tumors that lack functional p53 protein.{{cite journal | vauthors = Mitkin NA, Hook CD, Schwartz AM, Biswas S, Kochetkov DV, Muratova AM, Afanasyeva MA, Kravchenko JE, Bhattacharyya A, Kuprash DV | title = p53-dependent expression of CXCR5 chemokine receptor in MCF-7 breast cancer cells | journal = Scientific Reports | volume = 5 | issue = 5 | pages = 9330 | date = March 2015 | pmid = 25786345 | pmc = 4365401 | doi = 10.1038/srep09330 | bibcode = 2015NatSR...5.9330M }} Minor allele of SNP rs630923, located in the area of CXCR5 gene promoter and associated with the risk of multiple sclerosis, is responsible for appearance of MEF2C-binding site resulted in reduced CXCR5 gene promoter activity in B-cells during activation, that could lead to decreased autoimmune response {{cite journal | vauthors = Mitkin NA, Muratova AM, Schwartz AM, Kuprash DV | title = The A Allele of the Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism rs630923 Creates a Binding Site for MEF2C Resulting in Reduced CXCR5 Promoter Activity in B-Cell Lymphoblastic Cell Lines | journal = Frontiers in Immunology | volume = 7 | issue = 515 | pages = 515 | date = Nov 2016 | pmid = 27909439 | pmc = 5112242 | doi = 10.3389/fimmu.2016.00515 | doi-access = free }}

While chemokines and chemokine receptors have been thought to be involved in cancer development and maintenance, recently CXCR5 has come under investigation for its role in metastatic progression of prostate cancer. A recent study has indicated that prostate cancer tissue as well as cell lines express higher non-basal levels of CXCR5.{{cite journal | vauthors = Singh S, Singh R, Singh UP, Rai SN, Novakovic KR, Chung LW, Didier PJ, Grizzle WE, Lillard JW | title = Clinical and biological significance of CXCR5 expressed by prostate cancer specimens and cell lines | journal = International Journal of Cancer | volume = 125 | issue = 10 | pages = 2288–2295 | date = November 2009 | pmid = 19610059 | pmc = 3600527 | doi = 10.1002/ijc.24574 }} Furthermore, the study found a correlation between the level of CXCR5 and Gleason score. CXCR5 location was additionally considered and higher Gleason scores correlated with nuclear CXCR5 while cytoplasmic and membrane CXCR5 correlated with benign and early prostate cancers.
