ABSTRACT
The study on biological effects of SDF-1/CXCR4 axis composed of stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 is progressing rapidly in the recent years. The SDF-1/CXCR4 axis plays an important role in occurrence and development of tumors and closely correlate with angiogenesis of tumors. This review focuses the progress of study on SDF-1/CXCR4 axis and angiogenesis in leukemia including SDF-1/ and its receptor CXCR4, the expression of SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in leukemic cells, the mechanism of relation between SDF-1/CXCR4 axis and angiogenesis in leukemia, the application of inhibitors against SDF-1/CXCR4 in treatment of angiogenesis and so on.
