Figure 3. Involvement of S1P in cancer.

Figure 3

As described in the text, S1P regulates many processes in cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment that are important for malignant progression, including growth, survival and metastasis of the tumor, migration of stromal cells, and angiogenesis. S1P is also involved in recruitment of inflammatory cells and secretion of cytokines and chemokines that are important for inflammation and tumorigenesis.
