Unemori et al., Wound Repair Regen 2000
(Disease Models, Animal...) :
Because angiogenic wound cells are frequently macrophages, THP-1 cells, a cell line of monocyte lineage that binds relaxin specifically, were tested for and shown to induce vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor in response to relaxin Taylor et al., Endocrinology 1992
:
Basic fibroblast growth factor inhibits basal and stimulated relaxin secretion by cultured porcine luteal cells : analysis by reverse hemolytic plaque assay ... The role of the basic fibroblast growth factor ( basic FGF ) in the control of secretion of the ovarian protein hormone relaxin ( RLX ) by porcine large luteal cells ( LLCs ) was examined by use of a reverse hemolytic plaque assay
