Abstract excerpt
The autocrine motility factor (AMF) is known as a cytokine regulating tumor cells motility via AMF receptor (AMFR) and promotes their metastasis. Recently, AMFRs have been found on the surface of host cells and it was showed that AMF possibly affects them. The signaling of AMF-AMFR in the host endothelial cells induces expression of a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) Flt-1 and AMFR feedback...
