Description
Two pancreatic cancer cell lines with different metastatic and growth potential were compared under hypoxic conditions and under normal atmospheric oxygen pressure. The FG cell lines shows very few metastases and slow growth in mouse xenograft models. L3.6pl, derived from FG by cycles re-implantation of metastatic cells obtained after orthotopic tumor growth in nude mice, shows high motility, aggressive growth and very high metastatic potential
