Leptin induces a tumor-friendly microenvironment through upregulation of pro-inflammatory (IFNγ, IL-8, IL-6, GM-CSF, MCP-1, and TNF-α), fibrotic (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3), and angiogenic (VEGF-A, HGF, and Follistatin) factors in human leiomyoma cells. This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and leiomyoma.
