BGN is member of SLRPs, which is found in a variety of human cancers.
BGN stimulation of endothelial cells increased the expression of VEGF through NF-kB and the HIF-1α.
BGN enhanced endothelial cell migration, proliferation and tube formation in a TLR signaling pathway-dependent manner.
Endothelial cell-derived VEGF in turn acts on GC cells and promotes the migration of GC cells.
