Neutrophil Extracellular Trap-Derived DNA Activates the ITGB1/FAK Pathway to Promote Lung Adenocarcinoma Metastasis
Abstract Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have recently emerged as key modulators of cancer progression and metastasis. However, a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms could help identify effective strategies to prevent and treat NET-mediated metastasis. Here, we observed a marked accumulation of intratumoral NETs in metastatic primary lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Tumor cells with elevated CXCL2 expression not only recruited neutrophils via interactions with CXCR2 but also facilitated N …
