## Abstract To investigate whether the metabolism of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine is related to cellular growth rate, we have measured the activities of Lβornithine decarboxylase and SβadenosylβLβmethionine decarboxylase as well as the levels of the polyamines in rat brain tum

Steroid hormones and peptide growth factors promote growth and development of normal mammary tissues and some types of breast cancer. Ovarian steroids may influence mammary growth directly or indirectly. The epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of proteins may also regulate mammary growth. These two
In human gliomas, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) ligand and receptor mRNA are often co-expressed, which suggests the presence of an autocrine loop. To further investigate the significance of PDGF stimulation in brain tumors, we used a previously developed mouse tumor model, in which malignant
Type beta transforming growth factor (B-TGF) is a potent growth inhibitor to many human tumor cell lines. Very little is known about the mechanism for this growth inhibitory action of B-TGF. We here report the effect of B-TGF on proliferation and epidermal growth factor receptor (R-EGF) expression i
