## Abstract Vitamin C has inconsistent effects on malignant tumor cells, which vary from growth stimulation to apoptosis induction. It is well known that melanoma cells are more susceptible to vitamin C than any other tumor cells, but the precise mechanism remains to be elucidated. In the present s

## Abstract It is known that vitamin C induces apoptosis in several kinds of tumor cells, but its effect on the regulation of the angiogenic process of tumors is not completely studied. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most wellβknown angiogenic factor, and it has a potent function
Clonal B16-F10 cell lines with increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalioproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) have been generated by transfection with a TIMP-l-eontaining expression vector. The parental B16-F10 and control 1-2 cells, and two TIMP-1 up-regnlated clones (2-10,6-5), were studied for their gr
