We have tested the hypothesis that modulated radiofrequency (RF) fields may act as a tumor-promoting agent by altering DNA synthesis, leading to increased cell proliferation. In vitro tissue cultures of transformed and normal rat glial cells were exposed to an 836.55 MHz, packet-modulated RF field a

Tenascin-C (Tn-C) is an extracellular matrix protein with growth-, invasive-, and angiogenesis-promoting activities. Tn-C is upregulated during wound healing, tumorigenesis, and other pathological conditions. Highly malignant gliomas with poor prognosis exhibit high levels of Tn-C expression. Here w
Human rhabdomyosarcoma cells produce autocrine and paracrine growth factors that can sustain their growth and malignancy. Here we report constitutive production of stem cell factor (SCF) by 5 of 5 human rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines both of alveolar and embryonal histotype. SCF production, ranging fro
The effects of protein kinase C (PKC) activation and inhibition on the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) and cytosolic Ca 2Ο© ([Ca 2Ο© ] i ) responses of rat submandibular acinar cells were investigated. IP 3 formation in response to acetylcholine (ACh) was not affected by the PKC activator phorbol
