Mast cells produce heparin, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and vascular
endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), which induce
neovascularization, histamine, which is an immunosuppressant,
mitogenic factors, such as platelet-derived
growth factor (PDGF), nerve GF (NGF), stem-cell factor
(SCF), and proteases, which disrupt the surrounding
matrix and facilitate metastases.
