Tumor-derived growth factor increases bone resorption in a tumor associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence is presented that a tumor-derived transforming growth factor is responsible for stimulating bone resorption and causing hypercalcemia in an animal tumor model of the hypercalcemia of malignancy. Both conditioned medium harvested from cultured tumor cells and tumor extracts of the transplantable rat Leydig cell tumor associated with hypercalcemia contained a macromolecular bone resorbing factor with the chemical characteristics of a tumor-derived transforming growth factor.

متن کاملFailure of parathyroid hormone antagonists to inhibit in vitro bone resorbing activity produced by two animal models of the humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
The humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) is caused by tumor cells that release a circulating factor which stimulates osteoclastic bone resorption. Recently, it has been reported that tumors associated with HHM contain factors that stimulate renal and bone cell adenylate cyclase. The activity was inhibited by parathyroid hormone (PTH) antagonists, and this led to the hypothesis that hyperca...
متن کاملHumoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy
Secretion by tumor cells of circulating bone-resorbing factors may frequently underlie the hypercalcemia that occurs in patients with malignancy. Efforts to identify the responsible mediators have been hampered by a lack of available human tumor cell systems suitable for study of the pathogenesis of the humoral hypercalcemia syndrome. We have established a transitionalcell carcinoma (TCC) line ...

The SK-Luci-6 cell line, established from a large-cell anaplastic lung tumor of a patient with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM), was investigated to identify osteolytic factors produced that might mediate HHM. Most HHM-associated tumors are thought to produce parathy roid hormone-related proteins or transforming growth factor (TGF) a. SK-Luci-6 cells formed s.c. tumors and induced hype...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel 17,000-Dalton Parathyroid Hormone-like Adenylate Cyclase-stimulating Protein from a Tumor Associated with Humoral Hypercalcemia
Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy is a common paraneoplastic syndrome which is characterized by hypercalcemia resulting from secretion by tumors of a circulating bone-resorbing factor. Evidence suggests that in many instances this factor is an adenylate cyclase-stimulating protein which shares features with, but is distinct from, parathyroid hormone (PTH). The current report describes the pur...
