Tumor cell proliferation and migration, key drivers of metastasis, can be mechanistically coupled in matrix embedded human sarcoma and carcinoma cells through cell density via a synergistic, paracrine signaling mechanism between Interleukins 6/8. Inhibition of this mechanism significantly decreases metastasis in mouse xenograft models.
