Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a potent mitogen and angiogenic factor. bFGF is expressed by a variety of solid human tumors and has been implicated as an autocrine regulator of tumor growth. Different solid tumor lines including glioma, colon carcinoma and melanoma were examined for intrac

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFP1) are potential autocrine growth regulators of the prostatic stroma, and therefore may play a role in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We reported [Story et al.: Prostate 22:183-197, 19931 that TG
## Abstract Cultured Schwann cells divide in response to a limited repertoire of mitogens. In addition to cyclic AMP analogs and reagents that raise intracellular cyclic AMP, the only purified mitogens for Schwann cells are transforming growth factor beta (TGFฮฒ), acidic (a) and basic (b) fibroblast
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is found in a variety of cells and tissues. We have previously shown that bFGF is a transforming growth factor, but only when fused to a signal peptide (sp-bFGF). Cells expressing the native bFGF are tumorigenic in nude mice only, where the tumors form at a low
Institute for Diabetes and Endocrinology, La lolla, California 92(1.?7 Treatment of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) lead to a rapid reduction in epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding and a slower inhibition of EGF receptor autophosphorylation. The reduction in bindi
Skeletal muscle satellite cells were cultured from mature rats and were treated in vitro with various combinations of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-l)~ In serum-free defined medium the following observations were made: TC
