Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF-2) is progressively lost from mammary epithelial cells as they become malignant. To investigate the effects of restoring the expression of bFGF in breast cancer cells, we constructed MCF-7 cells that permanently overexpress 18-kD cytoplasm-localizing bFGF (M
Variability in response to chemotherapy is poorly understood. Paclitaxel-induced apoptosis was assessed in human Hs578T breast cancer cells, using the MTT assay, cell counting, morphological features and flow cytometry.

## Abstract Human breast cancer MCFβ7 cells, growthβarrested by serum starvation, were stimulated with recombinant human insulinlike growth factorβ1 (IGFβI). An increase in DNA synthesis was induced 20 hr later, which was as effective as that induced by serum. The increase in DNA synthesis was sign
