Transforming growth factor beta: potential autocrine growth inhibitor of estrogen receptor-negative human breast cancer cells.
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta), a two-subunit Mr 25,000 polypeptide, inhibits growth of several epithelial human cancer cell lines and has been proposed as an autocrine growth inhibitor. TGF beta activity has been found in conditioned media from some breast cancer cell lines, and TGF beta mRNA has been detected in breast cancer cell lines and human breast cancer specimens. In the pr...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) and fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) autocrine enhance breast cancer cells survival
Basal-like breast cancer is an aggressive tumor subtype with poor prognosis. The discovery of underlying mechanisms mediating tumor cell survival, and the development of novel agents to target these pathways, is a priority for patients with basal-like breast cancer. From a functional screen to identify key drivers of basal-like breast cancer cell growth, we identified fibroblast growth factor r...
متن کاملGrowth factor/growth factor receptor loops in autocrine growth regulation of human prostate cancer DU145 cells.
Autocrine growth factors produced by epithelial cells mediate the development and proliferation of neoplastic human prostate tissue. Various approaches have been used to down-regulate neoplastic growth of prostate cancer using natural flavonoids, soluble receptors, pseudo-ligands, monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tyrphostins). Selected growth factor/growth factor receptor l...
متن کاملOverexpression of epidermal growth factor and insulin-like growth factor-I receptors and autocrine stimulation in human esophageal carcinoma cells.
The growth-stimulatory effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha), and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on the human esophageal carcinoma cell line CE48T/VGH were evaluated. Under serum-free conditions, EGF, TGF-alpha, and IGF-I promoted 3.6- to 4.1-fold increased cell proliferation. Scatchard analyses and Northern blot hybridization revealed that...
متن کاملPancreatic Cancer: Evidence for Autocrine and Paracrine Insulin-like Growth Factor I Overexpression in Human
We assessed the potential roles of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) in human pancreatic cancer. IGF-I enhanced the growth of ASPC-1 and COLO-357 human pancreatic cancer cells, and this effect was significantly inhibited by a highly specific mono clonal anti-IGF-IR antibody (»IK.M.Both cell lines expressed inKYY transcripts for IGF-IR, and basal cell growth w...
