Abstract
We identified ovarian cancer cells and/or IL-1β-activated peritoneal mesothelial cells as important sources of ascitic VEGF. The present data indicate that IL-1β-triggered VEGF production by neoplastic and normal cells is a common pathomechanism for ascites formation in both inflammatory and malignant conditions.
