CXC chemokines modulate host immunity, neovascularization, growth and invasive behaviour of tumours. Despite their relevance in tumour biology, chemokine expression in intestinal- and diffuse-type gastric carcinoma, which exhibit a completely different growth pattern, has not been investigated in detail. In this study, expression of the CXC chemokines CXCL8 [interleukin (IL)-8], CXCL1 [growth-related oncogene alpha (Groalpha)], CXCL9 [monokine induced by interferon (IFN)-gamma] and CXCL10 [IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10)] and the corresponding chemokine receptors CXCR1-3 was investigated by immunohistochemistry in intestinal- and diffuse-type gastric carcinoma. Tumour cells of all patients expressed CXCL8. CXCL8 expression was significantly stronger in tumour cells of diffuse- rather than intestinal-type gastric carcinoma (P
