Substances which regulate expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) were examined in embryonic rat hippocampal cultures containing both neurons and glial cells. Both cell types expressed NGF mRNA when cultivated in vitro. Lipopolysaccharide, an activator of macrophages, elicited a significant increase
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
