Endocan in Cancers: A Lesson from a Circulating Dermatan Sulfate Proteoglycan
Figure 4
Endocan is expressed by tumor cells in cancer progression. (a) In the same tumor section, Endocan positive cells are detected in tumor cells and in endothelial cells from multilayered vessel of glioblastoma. (b) In glioblastoma, Endocan is always expressed in the palisading cells that are tumor cells in area around necrosis. (c) Immunostaining of tumor cells in pituitary adenoma (ACTH producing tumors).
