BG-1 infected clones were tested for tumorigenicity by injection of cells (10 6cells in 0.1cm 250% matrigel; Collaborative Biomedical Products, Bedford, MA, USA) into subcutaneous sites in 6-week-old athymic Ncr-nude mice (NCI Animal Program, Bethesda, MD, USA) that were ovariectomized at approximately 4 weeks of age.
These are similar to tumorigenicity suppressor genes, whose loss of wild-type growth regulatory function leads to unregulated or malignant growth.
It is probable, however, that like tumorigenicity suppressor genes and oncogenes many more genes involved in metastasis remain to be discovered since the process is complex, involving a large number of pathways [ 4 ] . Most of the known genetic mechanisms involved in the progression of a tumor to the metastatic state involve the loss of function of genes that prevent cells from becoming invasive.
Only isolated clones were used in anchorage dependence and tumorigenicity studies.
A systematic, unbiased approach to identification and ranking of proteins related to IL-8's expression in tumor tissues/cells may help to define the scope of IL-8's role in tumorigenicity and important related interactions with other factors.
