To determine the biological role of transforming growth factor-@ (TGF-@) in mammary carcinomas in vim, estrogen-dependent MCF-7 cells were transfected with a mouse TGF-@I cDNA. Growth characteristics in culture were not altered in the transfected cells. However, the MCF-7/TGF-@1 cells formed tumors

In this study we analyzed the expression of mRNA for PDGF-B and PDGF B-type receptor (PDGFrecB) in 42 biopsy specimens from human astrocytic gliomas and other brain tumors. All gliomas expressed PDGF-B mRNA at higher levels than found in peritumoral and normal nervous tissues. Levels of PDGF-B trans
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the resected pulmonary adenocarcinoma tissue of 88 patients was detected immunohistochemically by the avidin-biotin-peroxidase technique to determine whether or not it is a prognostic parameter. The 88 patients were divided into PDGF (-) and PDGF (+) groups a
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent activator for cells of mesenchymal origin. PDGF stimulates chemotaxis, proliferation, and new gene expression in monocytes-macrophages and fibroblasts in vitro, cell types considered essential for tissue repair. Therefore, we analyzed the influence o
## Abstract Plateletβderived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of glioblastomas and represents a target for the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib. To examine the prognostic or predictive role of PDGFRs in recurrent glioblastomas, expression was examin
