چکیده
A low molecular weight polypeptide with multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA) was isolated from serum-free media conditioned by a clone of normal Buffalo rat liver cells. The purification of MSA was achieved by gel permeation chromatography of the acid-soluble growth-promoting activity on Bio-Gel P-10 in 1 M acetic acid and followed by reversed phase high pressure liquid chromatography on muBondapak C18 support using a linear gradient of acetonitrile in 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid. The primary structure of MSA has been determined. MSA is a single chain polypeptide of 67 residues, with a calculated molecular weight of 7,484, and displays 93% homology with the functionally related human insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II). A comparison between the sequences of rat MSA and human IGF-II reveals only five amino acid substitutions. Based on the extensive amino acid sequence homology, we propose the term rat IGF-II for this newly isolated polypeptide.

Production and functional characterization of human insulin-like growth factor 1
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide hormone produced mainly by the liver in response to the endocrine growth hormone (GH) stimulus. This protein is involved in a wide range of cellular functions, including cellular differentiation, transformation, apoptosis suppression, migration and cell-cycle progression and other metabolic processes. In the current study, human heart cDNA w...
متن کاملCharacterization of the binding of multiplication-stimulating activity to a receptor for growth polypeptides in chick embryo fibroblasts.
Multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA) is the name given to a family of polypeptides with a molecular weight of approximately 10,000 that have been isolated from the culture medium of a rat liver cell line. MSA stimulates growth and DNA synthesis in chick embryo fibroblasts and has weak insulin-like metabolic activity. We have purified MSA and characterized the binding of ‘““I-labeled MSA to...
متن کاملInduction of tyrosine aminotransferase and amino acid transport in rat hepatoma cells by insulin and the insulin-like growth factor, multiplication-stimulating activity. Mediation by insulin and multiplication-stimulating activity receptors.
Insulin stimulates a 2-fold increase in the amount of tyrosine aminotransferase and a 5-10-fold increase in the rate of amino acid transport in dexamethasone-treated rat hepatoma cells. In order to determine whether these effects are mediated by insulin receptors or receptors for insulin-like growth factors, we have examined the binding of 125I-labeled insulin and 125I-labeled multiplication-st...

Background and aims: Laron syndrome is a disease that treated by Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). This protein is a single chain and has three disulfide bonds. People with Laron syndrome have low rates of cancer and diabetes, although they appear to be at increased risk of casual death due to their stature. IGF-1 is synthesized by many tissues and is secreted from liver as an endocrine hor...

An insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) receptor was purified from rat chondrosarcoma cells by Triton X-100 solubilization of a 100,000 X g membrane preparation and affinity chromatography on a multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA)-Sepharose column. Analysis of the purified receptor by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis and silver staining showed a major band of Mr = 210,000 (Mr =...
