## Abstract We recently reported that the growth of normal rat pleural mesothelial cells (RPMCs) is inhibited by conditioned media from either in vivo or in vitro transformed RPMCs. In this study we report that the growth of normal RPMCs is inhibited by epidermal growth factor (EGF). This was demon

During tissue repair and development, matrix accumulation is modulated as multiple signals impinge on target cells. We have investigated the effects of combinations of the mitogenic cytokines, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-a), and insulin-like growth fa
The pathogenesis of glornerular scarring i s multifactional; recent evidence suggests that transforming growth factor P (TGFP), a pleiotropic cicatricial mediator, may promote mesangial sclerosis by enhancing the production of extracellular matrix proteins.

In order to explore the possible contribution of insulin-like growth factor I to the development of diabetic nephropathy, the effect of glucose on the mitogenic and metabolic actions of insulin-like growth factor I in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells was examined. The stimulation of [3H]-thym
