title: [Effect of cimetidine on E-selectin expression on the vascular endothelium stimulated by anti-cancer drug].
abstract: Various anticancer drug treatments have contributed to elongating survival of cancer patients. However, cancer often metastasizes and recurs in spite of anti-cancer drug treatment. It is important to control metastasis in order to achieve a favorable outcome. In this study, we confirmed that an expression of E-selectin in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was stimulated by 5-FU, and that the expression of E-selectin was inhibited by cimetidine which was a H2 receptor antagonist.
