Expression of insulin-like growth factor family genes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
AIM OF THE STUDY Despite significant progress in the pathology of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), diagnostic and predictive factors of major importance have not been discovered. Some hopes are associated with insulin-like growth factors. The aim of the study was to compare the expression of genes for insulin-like growth factor family in tumours and in tissue of kidneys without cancer. ...
متن کاملIn silico prediction of B cell epitopes of the extracellular domain of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor
The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is a transmembrane receptor with tyrosine kinase activity. The receptor plays a critical role in cancer. Using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the IGF-1R, typically blocks ligand binding and enhances down-regulation of the cell-surface IGF-1R. Some MAbs such as cixutumumab are under clinical trial investigation. Targeting multiple distinct...
متن کاملLoss of imprinting of the insulin-like growth factor II gene in renal cell carcinoma.
Loss of imprinting (LOI) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of embryonal malignancies as well as adult cancers. Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) gene is an imprinted gene, normally transcribed only from the paternal allele. We investigated allele-specific expression of the IGF2 gene in 22 cases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a common adult-onset renal tumor. Sixteen cases (72%) were in...
متن کاملEnterolactone inhibits insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor signaling in human prostatic carcinoma PC-3 cells.
Enterolactone, a major metabolite of plant-based lignans, has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer growth and development, but the mechanistic basis for its anticancer activity remains largely unknown. Activation of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor (IGF-1R) signaling is critical for prostate cancer cell growth and progression. This study examined whether the growth inhibitory effe...
متن کاملMembrane-To-Nucleus Signaling Links Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1- and Stem Cell Factor-Activated Pathways
Stem cell factor (mouse: Kitl, human: KITLG) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1), acting via KIT and IGF1 receptor (IGF1R), respectively, are critical for the development and integrity of several tissues. Autocrine/paracrine KITLG-KIT and IGF1-IGF1R signaling are also activated in several cancers including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), the most common sarcoma. In murine gastric mu...
