## Abstract Normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) proliferate in a serum‐free defined growth medium in the absence of epidermal growth factor (Li and Shipley, 1991). Amphiregulin (AR) is a heparin‐regulated, EGF‐like growth factor. Our observation that one strain of HMECs produce AR mRNA (C

Interleukin (IL)-6 is reported to function as a growth factor for renal and prostatic carcinomas. We conducted the present study to define the role of IL-6 in the growth of normal and neoplastic urothelial cells. Human bladder carcinoma cell lines (253J, RT4 and T24) and primary cultured human uroth
## Abstract The androgen‐dependent clonal cell line SC‐3, derived from Shionogi carcinoma 115, secretes a fibroblast growth factor (FGF)‐autocrine growth factor in response to androgen, which is able to bind to FGF receptors. In SC‐3 cells, FGF receptor expression is upregulated by the SC‐3‐derived
## Abstract The role of cytokines in the growth and spreading of human hematologic malignancies has been underlined in recent years. Here we report evidence that a human 12‐kDa B cell growth factor (BCGF‐12KD) may function as a growth stimulatory factor in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL
## Abstract In order to ascertain autocrine growth factors in esophageal carcinomas, we analysed expression of mRNAs and proteins for epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor‐α (TGF‐α) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in 6 esophageal carcinoma cell lines. Gene alteration
