## Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on neuronal and certain non‐neuronal tumors. In pancreatic cancer NGF is overexpressed, and this overexpression is associated with increased perineural invasion. NGF has the potential to stimulate the growth of som
We established 5 rat bladder cell lines (MYU3L, MYU4, MYU6s. MYKU I L and MYP3). EGF stimulated DNA synthesis of all the cells in monolayer culture, regardless of the number of EGF receptors. In soft agar, only MYU3L formed colonies, and EGF enhanced their growth. However, EGF did not induce the oth
Serially transplantable rat mammary tumor (RMT) cells are not dependent on exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I for continuous growth in serum-free medium. Previously, we found that conditioned medium obtained from these cells contained EGF-like mitogenic activity
Transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β 1 ) has been implicated as inhibitor of cell proliferation and a potent inducer of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo after the administration of high doses. To assess the role of endogenous TGF-β 1 , we quantitated the cytokine and its receptors in rat liver during
Metallothionein (MT) is a small cysteine-rich protein thought to be mainly involved in metal regulation and detoxification. The implication of MT in cell growth and differentiation has also been suggested. This latter hypothesis was further investigated in adult rat hepatocytes induced to proliferat
