Abstract excerpt
Androgen-induced growth factor (AIGF) is an autocrine growth factor for androgen-dependent SC-3 cells, which is induced by androgen stimuli. To elucidate the mechanism of the progression from hormone-dependent to -independent tumor, we transfected an expression vector of cDNA encoding AIGF into SC-3 cells and established a stable transfectant (A1) expressing AIGF. A1 cells showed enhanced DNA synthesis. This...
