29PCharacterisation of growth hormone signal transduction in primary melanoma cell lines

ConclusionsIn this study, we have demonstrated GH stimulates signal transduction and promotes enhance of viability of primary melanoma cell lines, and that GHR blockade prevents this effect, indicating that blocking GHR signalling might be a useful strategy to treat melanoma. The next step is to understand whether GHR inhibition plays a role in regulating tumour growth in vivo.Editorial acknowledgementLi Family PhD Scholarship.Legal entity responsible for the studyPeter Shepherd.FundingHas not received any funding.DisclosureAll authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
