Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Shb is a signaling protein downstream of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 and Shb deficiency has been found to restrict tumor angiogenesis. The present study was performed in order to assess metastasis in Shb deficiency using B16F10 melanoma cells. METHODS: B16F10 melanoma cells were inoculated subcutaneously on wild type or Shb +/- mice. Primary tumors were resected and lung metastasis...
