## Abstract The urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its cellular receptor (uPAR) are involved in the proteolytic cascade required for tumor cell dissemination and metastasis, and are highly expressed in many human tumors. We have recently reported that uPA, independently of its enzymatic

Mammalian bombesin-like peptides gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and neuromedin B (NMB) are regulatory neuropeptides involved in numerous physiologic processes, and have been implicated as autocrine and/or paracrine growth factors in human lung carcinoma. Three structurally and pharmacologically dis
In this study we have investigated a panel of lung-cancer cell lines, both of small-cell carcinoma and non-small-cell type, for the expression of receptors for platelet-derived growth factor. Although we found mRNA expression for the P-type receptor on one small-cell and one non-small-cell line and
