Janowska-Wieczorek et al. [10] showed that incubation with platelet-derived ectosomes resulted in higher expression of mRNA for several proangiogenic factors (MMP-9, VEGF, IL-8, HGF) by different lung cancer cell lines, and their increased adhesion to endothelial cells in vitro. The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is lung carcinoma.
