Chemokines are chemotactic-competent molecules composed of a family of small cytokines, playing a key role in regulating tumor progression. The roles of chemokines in antitumor immune responses are of great interest. CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 are important members of chemokines. It has been widely investigated that these three chemokines can bind to their common receptor CXCR3 and regulate the differentiation, migration, and tumor infiltration of immune cells, directly or indirectly affecting tumor growth and metastasis. Here, we summarize the mechanism of how the CXCL9/10/11-CXCR3 axis affects the tumor microenvironment, and list the latest researches to find out how this axis predicts the prognosis of different cancers. In addition, immunotherapy improves the survival of tumor patients, but some patients show drug resistance. Studies have found that the regulation of CXCL9/10/11-CXCR3 on the tumor microenvironment is involved in the process of changing immunotherapy resistance. Here we also describe new approaches to restoring sensitivity to immune checkpoint inhibitors through the CXCL9/10/11-CXCR3 axis.

Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that causes dysfunction of secretory glands and the specific pathogenesis is still unknown. The CXCL9, 10, 11/CXCR3 axis and G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) involved in many inflammation and immunity processes. We used NOD/Ltj mice, a spontaneous SS animal model, to elucidate the pathological mechanism of CXCL9, 10, 11/CXCR3 axis promoting T lymphocyte migration by activating GRK2 in pSS.

The CXCL11-CXCR3A axis influences the infiltration of CD274 and IDO1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: The CXCL9/10/11-CXCR3 axis plays pivotal roles in the recruitment of immune cells and the formation of cancer-specific immunity in various cancers. High expression of immune checkpoints, which could be regulated by cytokines, is closely related to the establishment of immune escape in tumor microenvironment. Therefore, the study was tried to provide insights into the influence of the CXCL9/10/11-CXCR3 axis on immune checkpoints in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), especially oral leukoplakia (OLK).
