Ablation of ACKR3 or attenuation with the competitive agonist CCX771 markedly inhibited the chemotactic response of VAL cells to CXCL12. They went on and tested the role of ACKR3 expression <em>in vivo<\/em>. They fund, that functional expression of ACKR3 in DLBCL cells was necessary for colonization of draining lymph nodes in a localized subcutaneous lymphoma model. A more striking effect of ACKR3 ablation was observed in a disseminated lymphoma model. In presence of ACKR3 cells massively invaded lymphoid organs, such as bone marrow and spleen and also the brain, in absence of ACKR3, cells essentially failed in infiltrating these organs. The results unveil ACKR3 as a potential therapeutic target for DLBCL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">\n<p><strong>Article<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18632\/oncotarget.18844\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACKR3 expression on diffuse large B cell lymphoma is required for tumor spreading and tissue infiltration<\/a><br \/>\nV.
