For example, in breast cancer, when co-cultured with human breast cancer cell lines, the neutrophils released oncostatin M, (OSM, a member of interleukin-6 (IL-6) superfamily) which promoted tumor progression by facilitating angiogenesis and metastasis through the induction of VEGF expression and increases on cancer cell invasive potential [65]. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is breast carcinoma.
