Autocrine transforming growth factor a (TGFa) activity and control mechanisms for its expression were examined in a representative clonal isolate (CBS4) of a well-differentiated human colon carcinoma cell line designated CBS. CBS4 cells expressed TGFa and its receptor, epidermal growth factor recept

✦ Synopsis
Previously, we reported that unaggressive, growth factor-dependent FET human colon carcinoma cells downregulated their transforming growth factor alpha (TGFa) expression in a quiescent state (G 0 /G 1 ) induced by growth factor and nutrient deprivation (Mulder, 1991, Cancer Res.,

CD44 is a family of cell-surface adhesion molecules which exist in several isoforms arising from mRNA alternative. Malignant transformation of colonic mucosa is associated with alterations in CD44 expression, which result in up-regulation of high-molecular-weight CD44 isoforms and down-regulation of
We studied the effect of two members of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family-amphiregulin and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF)-on cell proliferation, growth factor and growth factor receptor expression, and cell differentiation in two human colon cell lines of varying liver-coloni
## Background: Angiopoietin-1 (ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (ang-2) are important regulators of endothelial cell (ec) survival. current models suggest that an increase in ang-2 expression in ecs leads to the initiation of angiogenesis. the authors hypothesized that the imbalance of ang-1 and ang-2 act
The insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene is regulated in a complex manner, involving developmentally regulated use of four different promoters as well as transcriptional repression of the maternal allele due to genomic imprinting. It has been well documented that liver is an exceptional organ in
