摘 要:Hyaluronan (HA),a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular matrix,hasbeen implicated in the promotion of malignant phenotypes,including tumor ***,little isknown about the effect of HA on tumor-associated *** this study,mouse hepatocellularcarcinoma Hca-F cells combined with or without HA were injected subcutaneously into C3H/Hej mice,thenangiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis of implanted tumors were examined by immunostaining for platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 and lymphatic vascular endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 ***,we found HA promotes tumor lymphangiogenesis and the occurrence of intratumoral lymphaticvessels,but has little effect on tumor ***,HA also promotes intralymphatic tumorgrowth,although it is not sufficient to potentiate lymphatic *** results suggest that HA,which is elevated in most malignant tumor stroma,may also play a role in tumor progression by promotinglymphangiogenesis.
