Pancreatic cancer cells breach endothelial barriers through protrusion-driven invasion or endothelial retraction
Extravasation, the exit of circulating cancer cells from blood vessels, is a critical yet poorly understood step in metastatic dissemination. Here we show that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells can breach endothelial barriers through two mechanistically distinct modes of extravasation. MIA PaCa-2 cells breach endothelial junctions via filopodia-like protrusions, enabling access to and…
