چکیده
PURPOSE To investigate the autocrine/endocrine role of Id1-induced insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) in esophageal cancer, and evaluate the potential of IGF-II- and IGF-type I receptor (IGF-IR)-targeted therapies. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Antibody array-based screening was used to identify differentially secreted growth factors from Id1-overexpressing esophageal cancer cells. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed to confirm the induction of IGF-II by Id1, and to study the autocrine and endocrine effects of IGF-II in promoting esophageal cancer progression. Human esophageal cancer tissue microarray was analyzed for overexpression of IGF-II and its correlation with that of Id1 and phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT). The efficacy of intratumorally injected IGF-II antibody and intraperitoneally injected cixutumumab (fully human monoclonal IGF-IR antibody) was evaluated using in vivo tumor xenograft and experimental metastasis models. RESULTS Id1 overexpression induced IGF-II secretion, which promoted cancer cell proliferation, survival, and invasion by activating AKT in an autocrine manner. Overexpression of IGF-II was found in 21 of 35 (60%) esophageal cancer tissues and was associated with upregulation of Id1 and p-AKT. IGF-II secreted by Id1-overexpressing esophageal cancer xenograft could instigate the growth of distant esophageal tumors, as well as promote metastasis of circulating cancer cells. Targeting IGF-II and IGF-IR had significant suppressive effects on tumor growth and metastasis in mice. Cixutumumab treatment enhanced the chemosensitivity of tumor xenografts to fluorouracil and cisplatin. CONCLUSIONS The Id1-IGF-II-IGF-IR-AKT signaling cascade plays an important role in esophageal cancer progression. Blockade of IGF-II/IGF-IR signaling has therapeutic potential in the management of esophageal cancer.

The Insulin Receptor: A New Target for Cancer Therapy
A large body of evidences have shown that both the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) and the insulin receptor (IR) play a role in cancer development and progression. In particular, IR overactivation by IGF-II is common in cancer cells, especially in dedifferentiated/stem-like cells. In spite of these findings, until very recently, only IGF-IR but not IR has been considered a target in cancer therapy. Alt...

BACKGROUND Perturbation in a level of any peptide from insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family (ligands, receptors, and binding proteins) seems to be implicated in lung cancer formation; IGF ligands and IGF-I receptor through their mitogenic and anti-apoptotic action, and the mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor (M6-P/IGF-IIR) possibly as a tumor suppressor. MATERIALS AN...

Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) and its ligands, IGF-I and IGF-II, are up-regulated in a variety of human cancers. In tumors, such as colorectal, non-small cell lung, ovarian, and pediatric cancers, which may drive their own growth and survival through autocrine IGF-II expression, the role of IGF-IR is especially critical. Here, we present a novel small-molecule IGF-IR kinase inh...
متن کاملIGF-IR Targeted Therapy: Past, Present and Future
The IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) has been studied as an anti-cancer target. However, monotherapy trials with IGF-IR targeted antibodies or with IGF-IR specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors have, overall, been very disappointing in the clinical setting. This review discusses potential reasons why IGF-I R targeted therapy fails to inhibit growth of human cancers. It has become clear that intracellular s...
