Figure 8From: Immunoglobulin E induces VEGF production in mast cells and potentiates their pro-tumorigenic actions through a Fyn kinase-dependent mechanismIgE improves the pro-angiogenic properties of MC through a Fyn kinase-dependent mechanism. Circulating IgE binds to the FcϵRI receptor on MC surface inducing the secretion of pro-angiogenic factors able to promote tumor angiogenesis and contribute to melanoma tumor growth. Fyn kinase is an important element on IgE-dependent production of pro-angiogenic factors in MC.Back to article page
