Platelet releasates promote the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by suppressing the expression of KLF6

Abstract Platelets in the primary tumor microenvironment play crucial roles in the regulation of tumor progression, but the mechanisms underlying are poorly understood. Here, we report that platelet releasates exerted a proliferative effect on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells both in vitro and i...
