Microglia/macrophages express alternative proangiogenic factors depending on granulocyte content in human glioblastoma.

Abstract excerpt

Myeloid cells are an inherent part of the microenvironment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). There is growing evidence for their participation in mechanisms of tumor escape, especially in the development of resistance following initially promising anti-VEGF/VEGFR treatment. Thus, we sought to define the capability of myeloid cells to contribute to the expression of proangiogenic molecules in human GBM. We...
