Insulin-like growth factor family and prostate cancer: new insights and emerging opportunities
Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. The mammalian insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family is made up of three ligands (IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin), three receptors (IGF-I receptor (IGF-1R), insulin receptor (IR), and IGF ...

IRS-1 acts as an endocytic regulator of IGF-I receptor to facilitate sustained IGF signaling
Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) preferentially regulates the long-term IGF activities including growth and metabolism. Kinetics of ligand-dependent IGF-IR endocytosis determines how IGF induces such downstream signaling outputs.

Interaction between thyroid hormones and the immune system is reported in the literature. Thyroid hormones, thyroxine, T4, but also T3, act non-genomically through mechanisms that involve a plasma membrane receptor αvβ3 integrin, a co-receptor for ...

Antidepressant-like effects of insulin and IGF-1 are mediated by IGF-1 receptors in the brain
Depression is associated with uncontrolled diabetes, which indicates a lack of insulin effect, yet the role of the insulin receptor in mediating depression is not clearly established because insulin receptors are not required for glucose entry into the brain.

The new kid on the block(ade) of the IGF-1 receptor [PDF]
The insulin-like growth factors (IGF) system, and particularly the IGF-1 receptor, has recently become the subject of major interest in the arena of cancer research. Its involvement in cancer cell growth and survival makes the system an excellent target as potential adjunct therapy to standard chemotherapy.

Estrogen Receptor α Rapidly Activates the IGF-1 Receptor Pathway [PDF]
Estrogen and insulin-like-growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are potent mitogenic stimuli that share important properties in the control of cellular proliferation. However, the coupling between the signaling cascades of estrogen receptors alpha and beta and the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is poorly understood.

Molecular cloning of IGF-1 and IGF-1 receptor and their expression pattern in the Chilean flounder (Paralichthys adspersus) [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1 and IGF-1R) play main roles in vertebrate growth and development. In fish, besides contributing to somatic growth, both molecules exhibit pleiotropic functions. We isolated complete cDNAs sequences encoding for both IGF-1 and IGF-1R in the Chilean flounder by using RT-PCR and

The role of receptor tyrosine kinase signalling in HER-2-positive cells and trastuzumab (Herceptin) resistance in breast cancer [PDF]
HER-2 gene amplification or overexpression occurs in approximately 25 % of breast cancers, and trastuzumab (Tmab) is a monoclonal antibody currently used to treat patients with HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer.

Expression of IGF-1, IL-27 and IL-35 Receptors in Adjuvant Induced Rheumatoid Arthritis Model [PDF]
Background: IGF-1 and certain other cytokines have been shown to exert inflammatory/anti-inflammatory roles in chronic joint diseases. Objective: To assess the effect of IGF-1, IL-27 and IL-35, their interaction and their receptor expression in a ...
