Platelets, protease-activated receptors, and fibrinogen in hematogenous metastasis.
Procoagulant activity on tumor cells can enhance their ability to spread via the circulation to colonize distant organs. Toward defining the relative importance of the main host responses to coagulation for hematogenous metastasis, we examined lung metastases after intravenous injection of melanoma cells in Nf-E2(-/-) mice, which have virtually no circulating platelets; Par4(-/-) mice, which ha...

متن کاملDeadly allies: the fatal interplay between platelets and metastasizing cancer cells.
The general notion that functional platelets are important for successful hematogenous tumor metastasis has been inaugurated more than 4 decades ago and has since been corroborated in numerous experimental settings. Thorough preclinical investigations have, at least in part, clarified some specifics regarding the involvement of platelet adhesion receptors, such as thrombin receptors or integrin...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata, on the Adhesive Property of Human Platelets
The adhesive interaction between tumor cells and the host cells or the extracellular matrix plays a crucial role in tumor metastasis. To evaluate the mediation of cell adhesion by Daphne mucronata, an anti-cancer medicinal plant in Iranian folk medicine, the adhesion of thrombin activated human platelets to the cultured monocytes or HL-60 cells was investigated under the effect of the plant ext...
متن کاملTumor cell-associated tissue factor and circulating hemostatic factors cooperate to increase metastatic potential through natural killer cell-dependent and-independent mechanisms.
Tumor cell-associated tissue factor (TF) is a powerful determinant of metastatic potential. TF may increase metastasis by supporting thrombin-mediated proteolysis, through intracellular signaling events mediated by the TF cytoplasmic domain, through TF/fVIIa/fXa-mediated activation of protease-activated receptors, or through a combination of these processes. To better define the relationship be...
