Overview of Gene Research
Ccl22, a chemokine, is predominately produced by dendritic cells. It regulates T cell immunity through binding to its receptor CCR4, playing a crucial role in processes like T reg migration. By recruiting T regs to tumor tissue and promoting DC-T reg contacts in lymph nodes, it influences the tumor immune microenvironment. Additionally, it may be involved in other biological processes related to immunity and cell-cell interactions [1].

In cancer, somatic mutations in Ccl22 drive the development of a distinct subset of CLPD-NK [5]. Ccl22-based peptide vaccines can modulate the tumor microenvironment, increasing the infiltration of CD8+ cells and M1 macrophages, and augmenting anti-tumor responses [6]. In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, TAM-secreted Ccl22 confers cisplatin resistance by regulating the DGKα/NOX4 axis [3], and also induces FAK addiction, which is associated with increased cancer cell malignant progression [8]. In endometrial cancer, Ccl22 is associated with overall survival, depending on its location and the cell type producing it [9]. In adipose tissue, macrophage-derived Ccl22 promotes inguinal white adipose tissue beiging, and its levels are inversely correlated with body weight and fat mass in mice and humans [2]. In germinal centers, GC B cells upregulate Ccl22 upon CD40 stimulation, which helps attract TFH cells for antibody affinity maturation [4]. In fibroblast-like synoviocytes, Ccl22 treatment promotes a pro-inflammatory state [7].

In summary, Ccl22 is essential in regulating the immune response, especially in the context of cancer and metabolic diseases. Studies, including those potentially using KO/CKO mouse models (although not always explicitly stated), have revealed its role in processes such as tumor immune evasion, drug resistance, adipose thermogenesis, and germinal center B-cell selection, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in various disease areas.
