In the glioma microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages secrete large amounts of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8 CCL8, which contributes to pseudopodia formation of glioblastoma cells and promotes progression of glioma. CCL8 induces invasion and stem-like traits of glioblastoma cells via CCR1/ CCR5-mediated ERK1/2 activation.
