Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) increases the mitogenic activity of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in several cells lines, including BALBK-3T3. PDGFtreated BALB/C-3T3 cells manifest a reduced capacity to bind '251-labeled EGF due to a loss of high affinity EGF receptors. Cholera toxin potentiat

## Abstract ADAMβ9 belongs to a family of transmembrane disintegrinβcontaining metalloproteinases (ADAMs) involved in protein ectodomain shedding and cellβcell and cellβmatrix interactions. However, the specific biological functions of ADAMβ9 are still unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze
CD44 is a family of cell-surface-adhesion proteins that are thought to play an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis. However, the specific mechanisms by which CD44 expression modulates invasion or metastasis are not well understood. In the current study, we have demonstrated that treatme
Proliferation of six established human melanoma cell lines was inhibited after treatment for 1 h with a high dose of glucocorticoid. Four of the lines with the capacity of colony formation were used to quantify final plating efficiency. Specific glucocorticoid binding sites in these cell lines range
