Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Regulates Matrix Metalloproteinases Production and In Vitro Invasiveness in Human Bladder Cancer Cell Lines
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate the effect of endogenous basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) production and in vitro invasive potential of human bladder cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The human bladder cancer cell lines, HT1376 and KoTCC-1, were used in this study. The mRNA for FGF receptor has been shown to be expressed in both cell lines; the...
