Abstract excerpt
Autocrine stimulation of the type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) by IGF-II is one mechanism that allows cancer cells to maintain unregulated growth and to resist programmed cell death (PCD). SH-SY5Y and SHEP cells are cloned human neuroblastoma (NBL) lines originating from a single primary tumor. SH-SY5Y cells, which express abundant cell surface IGF-IR and produce IGF-II, exhibit serum...
