PC Cell–Derived Growth Factor Confers Resistance to Dexamethasone and Promotes Tumorigenesis in Human Multiple Myeloma
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We have shown previously that the 88 kDa glycoprotein PC cell-derived growth factor (PCDGF/GP88) is expressed and acts as an autocrine growth factor in human multiple myeloma cells. The present study investigates whether PCDGF/GP88 expression in multiple myeloma cells leads to the development of resistance to dexamethasone, a conventional drug for multiple myeloma patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: PCDGF...
