Islet cell proliferation and apoptosis in insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 in transgenic mice.
Transgenic mice which overexpress insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFPB-1) demonstrate fasting hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance in adult life. Here we have examined the ontogeny of pancreatic endocrine dysfunction and investigated islet cell proliferation and apoptosis in this mouse model. In addition we have examined pancreatic insulin content in transgenic...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor-binding protein-4 inhibits growth of the thymus in transgenic mice.
Numerous in vitro studies have demonstrated that IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-4 is a consistent inhibitor of IGF actions. In order to investigate the functions of IGFBP-4 in vivo, transgenic mice were generated by microinjection of a transgene, in which the murine Igfbp4 cDNA is driven by the H-2K(b) promoter, and followed by a splicing cassette and polyadenylation signal of the human beta-globi...
متن کاملRenin-Angiotensin System in Transgenic Mice Overexpression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Attenuates the Myocyte
Constitutive overexpression of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in myocytes protects them from apoptosis and interferes with myocyte hypertrophy in the normal and pathological heart. Conversely, angiotensin II (Ang II) triggers cell death and promotes myocyte hypertrophy. Moreover, activation of p53 upregulates the cellular renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Therefore, IGF-1 overexpression in ...
متن کاملImpaired adipogenesis in insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 transgenic mice.
Differentiation of precursor cells into mature fat cells is accompanied by enhanced expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and is stimulated by multiple hormones including growth hormone, glucocorticoids, IGF-I and insulin. We used transgenic mice that overexpress insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 to investigate the role of IGF-I in the accumulation of fat tissue. In respon...
