Abstract excerpt
Macrophages are critical drivers of tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Movement of macrophages into tumors requires the activity of cell surface proteases such as plasmin. In this study, we offer genetic evidence that plasminogen receptor S100A10 is essential for recruitment of macrophages to the tumor site. Growth of murine Lewis lung carcinomas or T241 fibrosarcomas was dramatically reduced in...
