Abstract

We identify tumor microtubes (TMTs) and cell-substrate protrusions (CSPs) in a pancreatic cancer line, in cell culture, tumor models, and a subset of primary human tumors. TMTs and CSPs emanate from the lateral plasma membrane and contain actin filaments, microtubules, and cytokeratin. Arp2/3 complex drives two distinct TMT assembly mechanisms.
