Growth Factors, Growth-Factor Receptors and Oncogenes

Bio/Technology, 1985
In this review we summarize the current knowledge of polypeptide growth factors, their receptors and oncogenes. Recent studies indicate that oncogenes are linked to growth factors and to growth factor receptors, suggesting that these molecules participate in the proliferation of normal and neoplastic cells.

Growth Factor Receptors

1991
Proliferation of normal cells is regulated through the complex interaction of each cell with neighboring homologous and heterologous cells and extracellular tissue components forming its microenvironment. In addition to the cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix contact, the proliferation of cells is regulated by a variety of soluble growth factors ...

Receptors for Nerve Growth Factor

1993
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the two receptors for nerve growth factor (NGF)—namely, (1) the low-affinity NGF receptor and (2) the product of the proto-oncogene trk . It also reviews the way they were originally identified and the structural and functional features of the two receptors.

Growth factors and growth factor receptors.

British journal of hospital medicine, 1993
Peptide growth factors and their cell surface-associated receptors are important determinants of normal and pathological growth reactions. Through signal transduction pathways, receptor occupancy triggers the production of intracellular downstream effector molecules which ultimately cause cell proliferation.

Growth Factor Receptors: The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor as a Model

1990
Secreted polypeptide growth factors such as insulin, insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I), epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) initiate complex cytoplasmic and nuclear events. These distinct cellular responses can be attributed to the interaction of hormones with their respective ...

Growth factor receptors and medulloblastoma

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 1996
Growth factors and their receptors play important roles in the regulation of cell division, development and differentiation. Neurotrophins are growth factors which have not been shown, until recently, to be associated with human neoplasia. Medulloblastoma is a central nervous system tumor which is thought to arise from the external granule cell layer ...

Growth factors, receptors and cancer

BioEssays, 1986
AbstractIt now appears that the molecular events associated with the mitogenic action of growth factors are also the events perturbed in neoplastic lesions. This review outlines the relevance of our recent progress in the biochemistry of growth factors and their receptors to the induction and maintenance of the neoplastic state.

Growth factors and receptors in cancer

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1991
There have been a number of recent developments in mechanisms of action of growth factors and their receptors with particular relevance to cancer. The tyrosine kinase receptor family, in particular, has been shown to be important in tumour growth. These receptors are the products of oncogenes, or can interact with other oncogene pathways.

Characteristics of the Nerve Growth Factor Receptors and a Nerve Growth Factor Receptor—Nerve Growth Factor Covalent Complex

International Journal of Neuroscience, 1985
Nerve growth factor is a polypeptide hormone that is required for the normal growth and development of the embryonic sensory and sympathetic nervous systems. On these cells, there are two different receptors for the nerve growth factor. Recently, these receptors have been isolated from three cell types and shown to have essentially the same binding ...
