## Background: It has been determined that prostate cancer cells overexpress the matrix metalloprotease matrilysin (mmp-7), but the factors regulating this expression have not been identified. fibroblast growth factors (fgf), which are expressed in the prostate, might participate in paracrine regul

Astrocytes exhibit significant changes in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene expression during malignant progression. These changes include induction of FGFR1 and concomitant loss of FGFR2 expression. The induction of FGFR1 is believed to endow malignant astrocytes with a selective growth
Transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) belongs to a family of multifunctional modulatory proteins involved in cell growth, differentiation, development, and wound healing. Although the biological activities of TGF-b1 have been extensively studied, its regulation remains obscure. Here we report the e
## BACKGROUND. Nerve growth factor (NGF) immunoreactive proteins derived from human prostatic stromal cells (hPS) have been implicated in the paracrine regulation of prostate epithelial cell growth. However, mature NGFโค does not appear to be expressed by these cells. In order to determine whether N
