differentiation is linked to growth of Caco-2 cells, with markers of functional differentiation increasing only after the cells stop proliferating (Pinto e t al., 1983). Given these limitations, Caco-2 cells appear to represent the most relevant in vitro model currently available for study of prolif

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) are mitogenic for fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. IGF-1 increases in inflamed and fibrotic tissues and induces proliferation of rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC). This study evaluates the potential roles of these hormones in the development of liver
Multiple factors contribute to the growth retardation which is a characteristic feature of uncontrolled diabetes. In this report we have examined the effects of streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetes on expression of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-
Several cell types have been shown to secrete insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGF-BP) in vitro. Since IGF-BP influences cell responsiveness to IGF, three muscle cell types were investigated to determine if they produced IGF-BP and to identify factors that regulate IGF-BP secretion. Porc
