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

Leukocyte transmigration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a cardinal feature of central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. Astrocytes form an integral part, both structurally and functionally, of the BBB. Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfam
The cytokines that regulate angiogenesis in normal and malignant prostate tissue are not well studied. Using an RT-PCR-based screen, we observed that cultured, lowpassage normal human prostate epithelial cells (PrECs) express a variety of cytokines which have been shown to have angiogenic and/or end
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a secreted member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of heparin-binding proteins. Studies reported to date indicate that it functions primarily as an important paracrine mediator of epithelial cell growth and differentiation. KGF appears to act via bindi
