HGF derived from cancer ‑associated fibroblasts promotes vascularization in gastric cancer via PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling.
In conclusion, CAF‑derived HGF promotes angiogenesis, VM and mosaic vessel formation via PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling in gastric cancer and HGF may serve as a potential therapeutic target for cancer anti‑vascular treatment.
