2. Figure 1 Innervation Drives Enteric Cancer Growth
Nerve growth factor (NGF) secreted by enteric cancer cells promotes cholinergic innervation of the tumor microenvironment, while acetylcholine (Ach) released from invading nerves promotes cancer cell proliferation via upregulated Wnt signaling. Feedforward effects of Ach on NGF expression and subsequently increased recruitment of nerves to the tumor drive enteric cancer initiation and growth. Illustration by Sarah Chen.
