Previously we have shown that transforming growth factor b (TGF b) 1, basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB inhibit the synthesis of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) II, but their effects on IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-6 in osteoblast cultures are not kno
We observed that all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) down-regulated insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in cultured human hepatoma cells (Hep 3B, PLC/PRF/5, and Hep G2); therefore, we characterized the role of this down-regulation in cell growth. Treatment with 10 micromol/L RA revealed a
Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) synthesize insulin-like growth factor-I (ILF-I), which is a mitogen for this cell type in vitro. Since IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) modulate IGF bioactivity, we determined which IGFBPs were secreted by porcine SMC. Porcine SMC secreted 34,000 and 24,000 M, forms of
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
