Overview of Gene Research
Cxcr1, also known as C-X-C chemokine receptor 1, is a crucial chemokine receptor mainly activated by interleukin 8 (IL-8 or CXCL8) [2]. It is expressed in various cells like leukocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. Cxcr1, along with Cxcr2, is involved in the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 pathway, which is essential for the activation and trafficking of inflammatory mediators, as well as tumor progression and metastasis [1]. This pathway plays a role in multiple diseases including cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), asthma, and cystic fibrosis [1].

Knockout of Cxcr1 inhibits the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from neutrophils and synergistically enhances the ability of endothelial cells to eliminate ROS, alleviating hyperoxia-induced lung injury. This is achieved through promoting glutamine metabolism and leading to reduced glutathione by upregulating the expression of malic enzyme 1 [3]. In addition, in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer, resistant samples have a markedly enriched CXCR1+ neutrophil infiltration compared to pretreatment samples, and CXCR1+ neutrophils result in resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKI via activating the TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway in tumor cells [4]. Also, CXCR1/2 inhibition in cancer alters neutrophil function by blocking the polarization of transcriptional programs toward immune suppressive phenotypes, rather than reducing neutrophil recruitment into the tumor [5].

In conclusion, Cxcr1 is a key receptor in the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 pathway, playing significant roles in inflammation-related diseases and cancer. Studies on Cxcr1 knockout models have revealed its importance in processes such as redox balance in hyperoxia-induced lung injury, and in the context of cancer, in influencing treatment resistance and neutrophil-mediated immune suppression. These findings contribute to our understanding of disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.
