Interleukin-6 functions as an autocrine growth factor in human bladder carcinoma cell linesin vitro

3 Jul 1997

Abstract excerpt

Interleukin (IL)-6 is reported to function as a growth factor for renal and prostatic carcinomas. We conducted the present study to define the role of IL-6 in the growth of normal and neoplastic urothelial cells. Human bladder carcinoma cell lines (253J, RT4 and T24) and primary cultured human urothelial cells derived from normal ureters were used. Recombinant human IL-6 stimulated the growth of bladder carcinoma...
