FIG. 3.
Tumor cell adhesion to HUVEC, hMEC-1, hTERT-LEC, and HMVEC-dLy Neo under control conditions. All endothelial cell models show the same adhesion pattern with the 4 tumor cells, MDA-MB-231, MCF7, MeWo, and SKMEL-30, in which higher adherence to the BEC is observed. The highest tumor cell adhesion is observed to HUVEC opposed to hTERT-LEC and HMVEC-dLy Neo. Pooled results from 28 independents experiments, each in triplicate (n=84). *significant difference within group, †significant difference between groups, p<0.05.
