Opioid growth factor-opioid growth factor receptor axis is a physiological determinant of cell proliferation in diverse human cancers
13 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
The opioid growth factor (OGF) regulates cell proliferation of human cancer cells through the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitory pathway, with mediation of this action by the OGF receptor (OGFr). The ubiquity of the OGF-OGFr axis in human cancer is unknown. We used 31 human cancer cell lines, representative of more than 90% of neoplasias occurring in humans, and found that OGF and OGFr were detected in the...
