The role of IGF-1 as a major growth factor for myeloma cell lines and the prognostic relevance of the expression of its receptor
19 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
A plethora of myeloma growth factors (MGFs) has been identified, but their relative importance and cooperation have not been determined. We investigated 5 MGFs (interleukin-6 [IL-6], insulin-like growth factor type 1 [IGF-1], hepatocyte growth factor [HGF], HB-epidermal growth factor [HB-EGF], and a proliferation-inducing ligand [APRIL]) in serum-free cultures of human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs). In CD45(-)...
