Abstract: CXCR7 is a new receptor of chemokine CXCL12 after CXCR4. The present study shows that CXCL12/CXCR7 biological axis has important influence to the  development of a variety of tumors, similar to CXCL12/CXCR4 biological axis. CXCR7 is present in many kinds of tumor tissues and tumor cells widely, and plays an important role in tumor cells growth, proliferation, adhesion and migration. Restraining CXCR7 expression or blocking the CXCR7 signaling pathways may offer new strategies for the treatment of tumors.
