Factor VIIa Induces Tissue Factor-dependent Up-regulation of Interleukin-8 in a Human Keratinocyte Line
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor (TF), a transmembrane receptor for the serine protease coagulation factor VII(a) (FVIIa), is the main initiator of the coagulation cascade. Through incompletely elucidated mechanisms, TF serves additional functions in tumor-associated angiogenesis and metastasis. We have studied interleukin-8 (IL-8) as a possible link between TF-FVIIa complex formation and subsequent processes. Recombinant human...
