Resource summary

intravsation
  1. process in which a cancer cell enters the lumen of lymphatic or blood vessels.
    1. The first step in this process is specific adhesion to venular endothelial cells
      1. followed by adherence to proteins of the subendothelial basement membrane, such as laminin and types IV and V collagen
        1. The final step is the adhesion of the metastatic tumor cell to connective tissue elements such as fibronectin, type I collagen, and hyaluronan
          1. this is required for the movement of the tumor cell into the subendothelialstroma and subsequent growth at the secondary site of colonization.
            1. extracellular component laminin may contribute to a number of stages in tumour invasion and metastasis
              1. Increased expression of the laminin receptor has been associated with the metastatic phenotype of cancer cells
                1. Laminin , a potential serum tumour marker
                  1. urokinase (uPA), a serine protease that is able to proteolytically degrade various (ECM) components and the basement membrane around tumour
                    1. uPA cleaves plasminogen into plasmin which in turn activates MMP, 2, 3, 9, and 14 that further contribute to ECM degradation
                      1. (TAMs) be abundantly present in the microenvironments of metastasizing tumors
                        1. enhance tumor cell migration and intravasation by secreting chemotactic and chemokinetic factors, promoting angiogenesis, remodeling the Endothelium
                          1. and regulating the formation of collagen fibers.
