RANTES (Regulated on Activation, Normal T Cell Expressed and Secreted), also known as CCL5
• RANTES/CCL5 is a chemokine that plays a central role in recruiting immune cells—such as T cells, eosinophils, and monocytes—to sites of inflammation.
• In the tumor microenvironment, RANTES can influence immune cell infiltration, which may either support anti-tumor responses or, conversely, facilitate a pro-tumorigenic inflammatory milieu depending on the context.
• RANTES is involved in modulating angiogenesis, cell migration, and the deposition of extracellular matrix components. These processes can affect tumor progression and metastasis.
-In several cancer types—including breast, lung, and colorectal cancers—elevated RANTES expression has been associated with more aggressive tumor behavior and, in some instances, poorer prognosis.
