Abstract
The role of the binding of succinylated concanavalin A to tissue culture cells in influencing epidermal growth factor (EGF)βmediated cell proliferation has been studied. Succinylated concanavalin A dramatically reduces the stimulation of 3T6 cells by EGF in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DME) containing insulin and vitamin B~12~ as additional growth factors, but no serum. Furthermore, binding studies using ^125^Iβlabeled EGF have shown that the binding of EGF to the cell surface is reduced upon addition of succinylated concanavalin A.

Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is an activating ligand for the EGF receptor (HER1/ErbB1) and the high-affinity receptor for diphtheria toxin (DT) in its transmembrane form (proHB-EGF). HB-EGF was immunolocalized within human benign and malignant prostatic tissues
Tea polyphenols are known to inhibit a wide variety of enzymatic activities associated with cell proliferation and tumor progression. The molecular mechanisms of antiproliferation are remained to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of the major tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatech

We have previously shown that the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) stimulate both proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells in culture, and that these actions in L6A1 muscle cells may be modulated by three secreted IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), IGFBP-4, -5, and -6. Since we found
