Expression of Tie‐1 and 2 receptors, and angiopoietin‐1, 2 and 4 in gastric carcinoma; immunohistochemical analyses and correlation with clinicopathological factors

Abstract

Ties and Angs were highly expressed in human gastric adenocarcinoma cells. These findings suggest that the Tie-Ang receptor-ligand complex is one of the factors involved in the cellular differentiation and progression of human gastric adenocarcinoma.
