To establish a role for insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in bladder cancer susceptibility, we tested the effect of p-cresidine, a potent bladder carcinogen, in transgenic (TG) mice with human IGF-1 expression in the bladder driven by the bovine keratin 5 promoter (referred to as BK5.IGF-1 TG mice).
