Background: This study aims to screen and identify the biological functions and prognostic value of CXC
chemokines in ovarian cancer (OC) through bioinformatics and molecular biology methods, and to provide data sup‑
port for the selection of biomarkers and prognostic analysis of OC.
Methods: In this study, GEO, ONCOMINE, GEPIA, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, Metascape, STRING, TRRUST, and TIMER
databases were used to study CXC chemokines. Angiogenesis and T cell killing assay were used to detect the effect
of CXCL10 on tumor cell immunity and angiogenesis. Real‑time quantitative PCR (qRT‑PCR), immunoblotting, and
ectopic tumor formation experiments were used to verify the effect of CXCL10 on ovarian cancer tumors.
Results: We found that CXCL1, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL13, and CXCL14 were significantly upregulated in OC sam‑
ples compared with normal tissues. Our data showed that there was a relationship between the expression of CXC
chemokines and the infiltration of six types of immune cells significant correlation. In vitro assay confirmed that
overexpression of CXCL10 could enhance the killing effect of T cells and inhibit angiogenesis. Further in vivo assay had
shown that CXCL10 could affect the progression of ovarian cancer by increasing the expression of cytotoxic T cells
and inhibiting angiogenesis.
Conclusion: In conclusion, we hope that our data will provide new insights into the development of immunother‑
apy and the selection of prognostic markers for patients with OC.
