Fig. 6From: VEGF-C induced by TGF- β1 signaling in gastric cancer enhances tumor-induced lymphangiogenesisThe quantitation of tube formation of HLECs. a The length of its tube was longer in MKN45- and KATOIII-conditioned media than in HLEC alone. b With YCC2-conditioned media, only TGF receptor-expressing cell line showed increased tube length with TGF-β1. c-d With MKN45 and KATOIII-conditioned media, the tube length was increased for TGF-β1 and deceased with TβR1 inhibitor. TβR1, TGF-β receptor 1. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, One-Way ANOVA)Back to article page
