Abstract

The influence of CAFs under the tumor microenvironment was confirmed, increasing the malignancy of the tumor. In addition, melatonin is effective in both monoculture and co-culture, regulating angiogenic and inflammatory proteins that contribute to tumor progression. This study show an overview of melatonin ability in regulating angiogenic and inflammatory proteins, and opens the way for exploration of each individual protein in further studies.
