## Abstract Human colon cancer cells produce and secrete a variety of polypeptide growth factors. The functional role of these growth factors, however, is poorly understood. Though the secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF)‐like activity and EGF‐related molecules by human colon cancer cells in

The mitogenic effects of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are regulated by a family of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). One member of this family, IGFBP-3, mediates the growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects of a number of growth factors and hormones such as transfor
A human prostate cancer model was established by inoculating a prostate specific antigen (PSA)-producing LNCaP cell line with either prostate or bone fibroblasts. Alternatively, this human prostate cancer model can also be established by inoculating LNCaP cells with growth factor(s) (GFs) and extrac
When deprived of steroid in the long term, T-47-D human breast cancer cells lose estrogen sensitivity of cell growth. This loss of response results from an increased basal growth rate in the absence of steroid, not from a loss of estrogen-stimulated growth, and it occurs without any loss of estrogen
