Abstract excerpt
The ability of malignant cells to form metastases in secondary sites remains a major obstacle to the curative treatment of cancer. Previously, we identified type 1 insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) as a paracrine mitogen for highly metastatic murine carcinoma, H-59 cells. Here the role of IGF-1 and its receptor (IGF-1R) in metastasis was further investigated using H-59 cells transfected with a plasmid vector...
