Lectin-induced alterations of the interaction of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptors with their ligands

چکیده
In order to study whether the carbohydrate moieties of the human placental IGF-I receptor (IGF1R), IGF-II receptor (IGF2R) and insulin receptors (IRs) play a role in ligand binding, solubilised cell membrane preparations were incubated with 125I-labelled IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin in the presence of lectins with different sugar specificities. Three incubation procedures were tested: ligand-first, co-incubation and lectin-first incubation. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) altered the binding of IGF-I and insulin to their high-affinity receptors in a lectin specific and dose-dependent manner, whereas these lectins did not affect the interaction of IGF-II with its receptor(s). Moreover, the same lectins either inhibited or enhanced IGF-I and insulin binding, depending on the incubation scheme. These results also suggest that IR-A and IR-B from human placenta might be differently glycosylated.

The Effect of Intrahippocampal Injection of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 on Morphine-Induced Amnesia in Wistar Rats
Background: Morphine is wildly used as a painkiller in clinics, but causes several side effects such as hyperalgesia, depression and more notably amnesia. Here, we assumed that insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) as a peptide with widespread distribution of receptors in brain regions, especially hippocampus, might be capable to alleviate morphine-induced amnesia. Meth...

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...

Background & Objective: To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV). Methods: In a case-control study, we investigated 150 AV patients and 148 healthy individuals (aged 18-25 years) for the IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T polymorphis...

We have developed two bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-based approaches to monitor 1) ligand-induced conformational changes within partially purified insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptors (IGF1R) and 2) IGF1R interaction with a substrate-trapping mutant of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B-D181A) in living cells. In the first assay, human IGF1R fused to Renilla ren...
