KGF effects on cutaneous SCC cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF, fibroblast growth factor-7) is a fibroblast-derived mitogen, which stimulates proliferation of epithelial cells. The expression of KGF by dermal fibroblasts is induced following injury and it promotes wound repair. However, the role of KGF in cutaneous carcinogenesis and cancer progression is not known. We have examined the role of KGF in progression of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. Gene expression profiling was performed of three cutaneous SCC cell lines treated with KGF (10 ng/ml) for 24 h, comparable untreated cells and of normal unterated epidermal keratinocytes to explore KGF-responce in SCC cells.
