Inhibition of DNA synthesis and oncogene expression in tumor cells by the biological factor DIF.
1991
: A regulatory factor isolated from the maternal part of bovine placentas (decidua inhibitory factor, DIF) inhibits the incorporation of thymidine into the DNA of a variety of animal and human tumors. The degree of inhibition is dependent on the concentration of the factor. Results indicate that signal transduction occurs via a Ca2+ mobilizing pathway after specific binding of the inhibitor to tumor cell surface receptors. On of the main consequences of DIF action is the inhibition of c-fos and c-myc expression and/or degradation.
