Effect of tissue factor on intravascular migration of tumor cells / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To evaluate the effect of tissue factor on intravascular migration of tumor cells.METHODS: Expression of tissue factor in tumor cells (HT1080) was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining. An in vitro model was used to observe intravascular migration of tumor cells. RESULTS: High expression of tissue factor was observed in tumor cells (HT1080). The antibody for tissue factor inhibited intravascular migration of tumor cells. CONCLUSION: Tissue factor stimulated tumor metastasis through promoting intravascular migration of tumor cells.
