Altered Expression of Insulin Receptor Isoforms in Breast Cancer
PURPOSE Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling through human insulin receptor isoform A (IR-A) contributes to tumorigenesis and intrinsic resistance to anti-IGF1R therapy. In the present study, we (a) developed quantitative TaqMan real time-PCR-based assays (qRT-PCR) to measure human insulin receptor isoforms with high specificity, (b) evaluated isoform expression levels in molecularly-defi...
متن کاملProlactin Receptor Isoforms in Human Breast Cancer
Prolactin (PRL) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary responsible for the growth and differentiation of the normal mammary gland and plays a role in breast cancer. It functions systemically as an endocrine factor, but PRL may also act in an autocrine/paracrine fashion in a number of other tissues. Studies in both preand post-menopausal women have determined a significant i...
متن کاملInsulin receptor and cancer.
The widespread epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes has raised concern for the impact of these disorders as risk factors for cancer and has renewed the interest for studies regarding the involvement of hyperinsulinemia and insulin receptor (IR) in cancer progression. Overexpression of IR in cancer cells may explain their increased sensitivity to hyperinsulinemia. Moreover, IR isoform A (IR-A...
متن کاملInsulin Receptor Isoforms A and B as well as Insulin Receptor Substrates-1 and -2 Are Differentially Expressed in Prostate Cancer
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS In different cancers types, insulin receptor isoform composition or insulin receptor substrate (IRS) isoforms are different to healthy tissue. This may be a molecular link to increased cancer risk in diabetes and obesity. Since this is yet unclear for prostate cancer, we investigated IR isoform composition and IRS balance in prostate cancer compared to benign and tumor adjacent ...
متن کاملDifferential effect of pp120 on insulin endocytosis by two variant insulin receptor isoforms.
The insulin receptor is expressed as two variably spliced isoforms that differ by the absence (isoform A) or presence (isoform B) of a 12-amino acid sequence encoded by exon 11 at the carboxy terminus of the α-subunit. Coexpression of the A isoform and pp120, a substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts increased receptor A-mediated insulin endocytosis and degrada...
