## BACKGROUND. Bronchial epithelial cells produce a significant amount of granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is believed to mediate both the host defense and inflammation. Recently, GM-CSF has been demonstrated to be produced by several tumor cells and also to be asso
Granulocyte, granulocyte–macrophage, and macrophage colony-stimulating factors can stimulate the invasive capacity of human lung cancer cells

Tumor metastasis is the primary cause of death for cancer patients. The metastatic cascade requires successful tumor cell invasion into and through vascular and parenchymal barriers. We have shown that autocrine motility factor (AMF, autotaxin) and the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) induce tumor
## Abstract We previously established 2 lung cancer cell lines, OKa‐C‐1 and MI‐4, which constitutively produce an abundant dose of granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor (G‐CSF) and granulocyte macrophage‐colony stimulating factor (GM‐CSF). Many other cases with G‐CSF or GM‐CSF producing tumors have
