CXCL10/IP-10 is an ELR- angiostatic chemokine that interacts with CXCR3 to attract Th1 cells, eosinophils, monocytes, and NK cells to sites of inflammation. It is upregulated by activated T lymphocytes, neutrophils, splenocytes, keratinocytes, osteoblasts, astrocytes, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and pancreatic beta cells. CXCL10 contributes to disease pathology in many chronic inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
