During the metastatic process, cancer cells interact with vascular adventitial fibroblasts (VAF), which are the main components of the outermost connective tissue layer of blood vessels. This activity suggests the presence of a specific tumor microenvironment in the perivascular area. The s.c. coinjection of human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (A549, PC-14, and CRL-5807) and human VAF (hVAF) resulted in a high rate of tumor formation, compared with the coinjection of these cell lines and human ...[more]
