Adherent platelets accelerate angiogenesis via the secretion of VEGF. (A) There were fewer microvessles in the adenomas of ApcMin/+;P-sel-/- mice than ApcMin/+ mice. (B) IHC staining of intestinal tumors for VEGF. VEGF expression was higher in the tumors of ApcMin/+ mice than those in ApcMin/+;P-sel-/- mice. (C) The concentration of VEGF in small intestinal adenomas. Small intestinal adenomas from ApcMin/+ and ApcMin/+;P-sel-/- mice were lysed, and the amounts of VEGF were detected by ELISA. *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01;***, p<0.001. Scale bars = 50 μm.
