17671690 (PDGFB)

endothelial and lung cancer cells seem to interact via various paracrine pathways, e.g. by the reciprocal induction of VEGF and PDGF-BB

18758297 (PDGFB)

High tumor cell PDGF-B is associated with non-small cell lung cancer.

30755260 (PDGFB)

Study demonstrates that breast cancer cells secrete CXCL17, which increases the accumulation of CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the lungs. CXCL17 increases MDSCs PDGF-BB secretion which contributes to MDSC-mediated angiogenesis in the lung metastatic niche and colonization of breast cancer. Patients with high levels of CXCL17 have shorter distant metastasis-free and overall survival rates.
