Description:
Evidence is presented that a tumor-derived transforming growth factor is responsible for stimulating bone resorption and causing hypercalcemia in an animal tumor model of the hypercalcemia of malignancy. Both conditioned medium harvested from cultured tumor cells and tumor extracts of the transplantable rat Leydig cell tumor associated with hypercalcemia contained a macromolecular bone resorbing factor with the chemical characteristics of a tumor-derived transforming growth factor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ibbotson, K J -- D'Souza, S M -- Ng, K W -- Osborne, C K -- Niall, M -- Martin, T J -- Mundy, G R -- AM-28149/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- CA-29537/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Sep 23;221(4617):1292-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6577602" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
