Abstract excerpt
Normal rat mammary epithelial cells have an absolute requirement for insulin (IN) or insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) for proliferation in serum-free medium. By contrast, serially transplantable rat mammary carcinoma (RMC) cells are IGF-I-independent for continuous growth in vitro. Previously, we demonstrated that IGF-I independence is not mediated by an autocrine loop. Therefore, experiments were carried out...
