Epinephrine Stimulates Cell Proliferation and Induces Chemoresistance in Myeloma Cells through the β-Adrenoreceptor in vitro.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal that epinephrine stimulates myeloma cell growth in vitro while the β-blocker propranolol has an antiproliferative effect, indicating that stress hormones may trigger the progression of myeloma.
