IGF-I induced genes in stromal fibroblasts predict the clinical outcome of breast and lung cancer patients
5 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) signalling is important for cancer initiation and progression. Given the emerging evidence for the role of the stroma in these processes, we aimed to characterize the effects of IGF-I on cancer cells and stromal cells separately. METHODS: We used an ex vivo culture model and measured gene expression changes after IGF-I stimulation with cDNA microarrays. In vitro...
