Objective:Netrin-1 which is on axonal growth and guidance and Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) play very important role in cancer cell proliferation, survival and angiogenesis. MMP-2 activity is critical in the formation of vasculogenic-like networks. While the relationship between Netrin-1 pathway and formation of vasculogenic mimicry (VM) remains unclear. In this study, we will explore relationship between Netrin-1 and MMP-2 to investigate the role of Netrin-1 in the formation of VM in lung cancer.
