Title: Lung and Gastrointestinal Tumor Cells Secrete Peptide Hormones
Abstract: A variety of peptide hormones including ACTH, calcitonin, parathormone bombesin and substance P could be detected in the culture medium of long term cell lines of lung and gastrointestinal tumors. Some of these hormones were further characterized by various biochemical methods. Our results show that not only small cell lung cancer cells but also tumors which do not derive from “neuroendocrine cells” are able to produce peptide hormones.
