To note, short-term exposure (30 min or 6 hrs) of breast cancer cells to AngII was not sufficient to promote increased adhesion to the endothelial monolayer (data not shown), suggesting that AngII-increased cancer cell adhesion may involve transcriptional regulation of target genes rather than activation of intracellular trafficking or signaling pathways – that generally occur within minutes. Here, AGT is linked to breast carcinoma.
