Journal ArticleDOI

Bombesin-like peptides can function as autocrine growth factors in human small-cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a monoclonal antibody to bombesin binds to the C-terminal region of BLPs, blocks the binding of the hormone to cellular receptors and inhibits the clonal growth of SCLC in vitro and the growth ofSCLC xenografts in vivo.
Journal Article

Establishment and Identification of Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Lines Having Classic and Variant Features

TL;DR: Using a chemically defined medium containing hydrocortisone, insulin, transferrin, 17 beta-estradiol and selenium, with or without serum supplementation, continuous cell lines can be established from 72% of all fresh biopsy specimens of small cell lung cancer containing tumor cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

High levels of intracellular bombesin characterize human small-cell lung carcinoma.

TL;DR: "Small cells" or "oat cells" characterize a virulent form of lung cancer and share many biochemical properties with peptide-secreting neurones, suggesting that bombesinergic precursor cells in lung may give rise to this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrenomedullin expression in human tumor cell lines : its potential role as an autocrine growth factor

TL;DR: The collective data demonstrate that AM and AM receptor are expressed in numerous human cancer cell lines of diverse origin and constitute a potential autocrine growth mechanism that could drive neoplastic proliferation.
Journal Article

Selective stimulation of small cell lung cancer clonal growth by bombesin and gastrin-releasing peptide.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of exogenously added BN and gastrinreleasing peptide (GRP) on the soft agarose colony growth of a panel of human cell lines was investigated.
