Do inflammatory cells contribute to the generation of an angiogenic phenotype in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma?
Mononuclear inflammatory cells of the non-specific immune response are recruited to pancreatic cancer tissues independent of the presence of CP-like changes, may influence the metastatic capacity of the cancer cells, and may contribute to the development of tumours with high angiogenic activity.
Wnt3a can not promote the differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells by itself, but co-induction by Wnt3a and BMP9 can promote the differentiation.
