We have examined the ability of transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-p1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to regulate the expression of various integrins in cultured rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). We found that expression of the a,p3 integrin complex was induced by both grow

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-
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major agent in choroidal and retinal neovascularization, events associated with age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), strategically located between retina and choroid, plays a cri
Hepatocyte growth factor, a potent hepatocyte mitogen in vitro, appears to trigger hepatocyte regeneration after partial hepatectomy and after acute liver cell netcrosis. Transforming growth factor-a and transforming growth factor+, may also be involved in the control of liver regeneration. In this
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
