Human IGF1 pro-forms induce breast cancer cell proliferation via the IGF1 receptor
23 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: IGF1 is a key regulator of tissue growth and development and has been implicated in the initiation and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer. Through IGF1 mRNA splicing different precursor pro-peptides, i.e., the IGF1Ea, IGF1Eb and IGF1Ec pro-forms, are formed whose biological roles in the pathogenesis of breast cancer have not been established yet. The objective of this study was to...
