Contribution of platelets to tumour metastasis.
TLDR
Contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.Abstract:
Experimental evidence suggests that platelets contribute to metastasis through adhesive and haemostatic functions that promote cancer cell survival, immune evasion and interactions with vascular cells to assist organ colonization from the bloodstream. Extensive experimental evidence shows that platelets support tumour metastasis. The activation of platelets and the coagulation system have a crucial role in the progression of cancer. Within the circulatory system, platelets guard tumour cells from immune elimination and promote their arrest at the endothelium, supporting the establishment of secondary lesions. These contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that platelet activation leads to abundant lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) release, which promotes the invasiveness of osteosarcoma cells.

TL;DR: The findings indicate how (metastasizing) tumor cells may downregulate MHC Class I to evade T-cell anti-tumor reactivity without becoming prone to NK immunosurveillance due to an immunophenotype of false pretenses.
