Abstract excerpt
Vascular TTB cells derive from murine Kaposi's sarcoma-like dermal lesions and share several phenotypic features with AIDS-associated KS spindle cells. We have recently reported that fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) promotes dramatic cytoskeletal and morphological alterations in TTB cells, concomitant with the induction of an autocrine loop for hepatocyte growth factor and a relocalization of the urokinase...
