For example, TGFβ, IL-10 and VEGF, which are considered to be immunosuppressive cytokines secreted by pancreatic cancer cells, Tregs, and TAMs, can promote desmoplasia, angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis, EMT, and formation of the pre-metastatic niche. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
