Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a member of the EGF family of polypeptide growth factors, which includes EGF, transforming growth faaor a (TGF-a), amphiregulin (AR) and betacellulin (BTC). To assess the potential role of HB-EGF in human gastric carcinomas

Heregulin P1 was found to stimulate the anchorage-dependent, serum-free growth of nontransformed human MCF-1 OA mammary epithelial cells. Unlike epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor a, or amphiregulin, heregulin P I was also able to induce the anchorage-independent growth of MCF-1OA c
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ␥ (PPAR␥) inhibits the growth of several types of cancer cells. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs are poorly understood. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effects of PPAR␥ on mutated ras-induced cell growth, activation of trans
The function of the endometrium in the implantation of the blastocyst depends on the regulated, cyclical regeneration of endometrial tissue and the expression of a receptive phenotype in response to steroid hormones. Experiments using animal and models suggest that heparin-binding epidermal growth f
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is essential for normal epidermal homeostasis; however, the role of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), regulators of IGF action, remains unclear. Here we examine the regulation of human keratinocyte-produced IGFBPs by epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growt
