We have previously shown that rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC) transfected with and constitutively expressing transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) have an enhanced mitogenic response to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In the study reported here, we examined tumor clones derived from the TGF-α trans

We have previously shown that transforming growth factor-b1 (TGF-b1) enhances the epidermal growth factor-(EGF) and transforming growth factor-a (TGF-a)stimulated motility of rat hepatocytes in an extracellular matrix (ECM)-dependent fashion (Stolz and Michalopoulos, 1997, J. Cell. Physiol., 170:57-
We have investigated the role of autocrine/paracrine TGF-b secretion in the regulation of cell growth by androgens as demonstrated by its inhibition by two androgen response modifiers; the nonsteroidal antiandrogen hydroxyflutamide (OHF), believed to act by inhibiting androgen binding to androgen re
Hepatocyte growth factor and transforming growth factor-a are two well-known hepatomitogens for primary hepatocyte cultures. Here we report that these two growth factors also stimulate in uiuo DNA syntheses in normal, unoperated, adult rat liver after 24-hr continuous intraportal infusion. As determ
