Clinical significance of growth differentiation factor 11 in colorectal cancer.
Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) subfamily, plays a role in regulation of development and differentiation. Although some members of BMP subfamily have been reported to correlate with cancer, the significance of GDF11 has not been studied in a clinical oncology setting. The current study exp...
متن کاملCirculating Growth Differentiation Factor 11/8 Levels Decline With Age.
RATIONALE Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) and GDF8 are members of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily sharing 89% protein sequence homology. We have previously shown that circulating GDF11 levels decrease with age in mice. However, a recent study by Egerman et al reported that GDF11/8 levels increase with age in mouse serum. OBJECTIVE Here, we clarify the direction of change...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor stimulates photoreceptor differentiation in vitro.
Dissociated newborn rat retinal cells were maintained in monolayer culture for periods of up to 11 d. When grown in the absence of exogenous growth factors, 1-2% of the total neuronal population expressed opsin (the photopigment that is specific for maturing photoreceptors). Addition of a single dose of 10 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to the culture medium induced an average incr...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor protects against hypoxia-ischemia and NMDA neurotoxicity in neonatal rats.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a polypeptide that promotes neuronal survival and blocks excitatory amino acid (EAA) neurotoxicity in vitro at very low concentrations. In the present study, we examined whether systemically administered bFGF could prevent neuronal damage induced by either EAAs or hypoxia-ischemia in vivo. Neuroprotective effects were examined in a neonatal model of hypo...
متن کاملGrowth and differentiation factor-11 is developmentally regulated in skeletal muscle and inhibits myoblast differentiation
Growth and differentiation factor-11 (GDF-11) is a secreted protein that is closely related to myostatin, a known inhibitor of skeletal muscle development. The role of GDF-11 in regulating skeletal muscle growth remains unclear and the pattern of expression during post-natal growth has not been reported. Therefore, we sought to determine the expression of GDF-11 during post-natal growth and its...
