Abstract excerpt
Tumor-derived endothelial-like cells (tEC) were prepared by culturing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in the presence of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma-conditioned medium. tEC showed higher permeability and less cell-adhesion activity than normal HUVEC (nEC). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is known to have tumor-vasculature disrupting activity. tEC showed higher cytotoxicity to recombinant human TNF...
