GC patients with peritoneal metastasis had increased levels of VEGF-expressing and EGF-secreting CD68+ macrophages in peritoneal lavage. Peritoneal washes were collected from GC patients. Macrophages in peritoneal lavage were labelled with CD45 and CD68. EGF- and VEGF-expressing macrophages were intracellularly stained with corresponding antibodies. A. Representative images of flow cytometry analysis. B. GC patients with peritoneal metastasis had more VEGF-secreting macrophages and EGF-expressing macrophages in peritoneal washes compared to patients with no metastasis. n=20. PM: peritoneal metastasis. *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01, by student t tests.
