Abstract excerpt
We demonstrated previously that IGFBP-3 alone had no effect on cell death, but dramatically modulated apoptosis in Hs578T IGF non-responsive cells. We investigated whether a non-IGF binding mutant of IGFBP-3 retained its intrinsic actions in this cell line, prior to investigating its actions in IGF-responsive cells (MCF-7 and MCF-10A). In the Hs578T cells, the ceramide analogue, C2-induced apoptosis,...
