Endothelin-I (ET-1) is an endothelium-derived 21 amino acid vasoconstrictor peptide possessing two intrachain disulfide bridges. Recently it has become evident that isoforms of ET (ET-l, -2, and -3) have a wide range of pharmacological effects in various tissues and act as autocrineiparacrine factor
Using the mouse prostate reconstitution (MPR) model system, under conditions where the ras and myc oncogenes are introduced via a recombinant retrovirus into both the mesenchymal and epithelial compartments of the urogenital sinus, poorly differentiated prostate cancer is produced with high frequenc
Biologically active alpha-transforming growth factor (a-TGF) has been identified in medium conditioned by rat mammary myoepithelial and, to a lesser extent, by epithelial cell lines in culture and in the rat mammary gland. The a-TGF has been identified by its wide spectrum of activity in promoting g
Vitamin A or retinol is an important agent in the normal differentiation and growth of cells. Retinol is an effective inhibitor of the growth of many transformed cells in vitro and in vivo but its mechanism of action is unclear. Transforming growth factor alpha (TGFa) is a known mitogen. We examined
