Abstract excerpt
Numerous tumours, including hepatocarcinomas, produce IGFs, and some depend on these growth factors in a paracrine or autocrine fashion. We have shown that c-myc-induced experimental hepatocarcinogenesis is associated with enhanced production of IGF-II. To assess the role of the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) in hepatocarcinogenesis, we generated conditional mutant mice that overexpressed c-myc and were knocked out for...
