Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we defined the molecular cues surrounding blood vessels in the tumor and examined the interaction between blood vessels and cancer cells to know malignant progression of tumor. As a consequence, galactose binding lectin-3 (Gal-3) produced from tumor cells induces migration of macrophage from bone marrow into tumor for progression of tumor angiogenesis. Moreover, Tie2, a receptor tyrosine kinase, expressed in endothelial cells makes a soluble form to inhibit angiogenesis resulting in tumor growth suppression.
