CXCL10 increased expression of pro-angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor subunit-B (PDGF-B), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and angiopoietin 2 (Angpt2), in B16F10 melanoma cells, resulting in enhanced tube formation and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro. Here, HGF is linked to melanoma.
