Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding proteins inhibit the biological activities of IGF-1 and IGF-2 but not des-(1-3)-IGF-1.
(1) Many cell types secrete insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding proteins that can be expected to sequester free IGF and modify the biological activities of the growth factors. (2) A binding protein purified from bovine kidney (MDBK) cells potently inhibited the ability of IGF-2 to stimulate DNA synthesis or protein accumulation as well as to reduce rates of protein breakdown in chick embry...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptors, IGF-1, and IGF-2 are expressed in primary human sarcomas.
A variety of bone and soft-tissue sarcoma cell lines have been shown to express receptors for insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and to respond mitogenically to IGF-1 in vitro. We have recently demonstrated evidence of IGF dependency in murine MGH-OGS and RIF-1 sarcomas, which express relatively high and intermediate levels of IGF-1 receptors. Overexpression of IGF-1 receptors and/or IGF liga...
متن کاملRegulation of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis with insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and IGF-1/IGF-binding protein-3 complex (IGF-1/IGFBP3).
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 is a cytokine that promotes oligodendrocyte development and myelin production. This study investigated whether treatment of chronic, relapsing murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) with IGF-1 or IGF-1 associated with its binding protein, IGFBP3, altered the course of disease. Administration of IGF-1/IGFBP3 (1-100 mg/kg per day) delayed the ons...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, IGF-binding protein-3, and pancreatic cancer in male smokers.
To investigate whether insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) are prospectively associated with exocrine pancreatic cancer, we conducted a nested case-control study within the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study cohort of 29,133 male Finnish smokers, aged 50-69 years. To avoid the potential influence of subclinical cancer on IGF-1 and IGFBP-3,...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1): a growth hormone.
AIM To contribute to the debate about whether growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) act independently on the growth process. METHODS To describe growth in human and animal models of isolated IGF-1 deficiency (IGHD), such as in Laron syndrome (LS; primary IGF-1 deficiency and GH resistance) and IGF-1 gene or GH receptor gene knockout (KO) mice. RESULTS Since the descri...
