## Abstract The insulinβlike growth factor (IGF) axis is a complex system composed of 2 mitogenic ligands, IGFβI and βII, 2 receptors, IGFβ1R and IGFβ2R, and 6 binding proteins, IGFBPβ1 to β6. The IGFBPs exert their actions through their regulation of IGF bioavailability for IGF receptors. In addit
## Abstract Transforming growth factor Γ (TGFΓ) is a paracrine mediator of prostate epithelial cell apoptosis. In rodents, castration induces production of TGFΞ² by stromal cells, which leads to apoptosis of epithelial cells. To identify potential mediators of this cell death pathway, we developed a
differentiation is linked to growth of Caco-2 cells, with markers of functional differentiation increasing only after the cells stop proliferating (Pinto e t al., 1983). Given these limitations, Caco-2 cells appear to represent the most relevant in vitro model currently available for study of prolif
## Abstract The present study examined the effects of allβ__trans__ retinoic acid (tRA) on proliferation and expression of the IGF system in Cacoβ2 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. tRA inhibited Cacoβ2 cell proliferation in a doseβdependent manner, with a 40βΒ±β2% decrease in cell number observed 4
