IL‐17 and insulin/IGF1 enhance adhesion of prostate cancer cells to vascular endothelial cells through CD44‐VCAM‐1 interaction

Abstract

Extravasation is a critical step in cancer metastasis, in which adhesion of intravascular cancer cells to the vascular endothelial cells is controlled by cell surface adhesion molecules. The role of interleukin‐17 (IL‐17), insulin, and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in adhesion of prostate cancer cells to the vascular endothelial cells is unknown, which is the subject of the present study.
