Long-term IGF-I exposure decreases autophagy and cell viability. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
A reduction in IGF-I signaling has been found to increase lifespan in multiple organisms despite the fact that IGF-I is a trophic factor for many cell types and has been found to have protective effects against multiple forms of damage in acute settings.

IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin stimulate different gene expression responses through binding to the IGF-I receptor.

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Insulin and the insulin-like growth factors (IGF)-I and –II are closely related peptides important for regulation of metabolism, growth, differentiation and development. The IGFs exert their main effects through the IGF-I receptor.

Relation of IGF-I with subclinical cardiovascular markers including intima-media thickness, left ventricular mass index and NT-proBNP

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2019
Objective: Several studies revealed relations between low or high insulin -like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels and risk of cardiovascular diseases or mortality, whereas the mechanisms be hind these associations are still unknown.

Effects of IGF-1 on the Three-Dimensional Culture of Ovarian Preantral Follicles and Superovulation Rates in Mice

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a crucial role during folliculogenesis, which has been demonstrated by previous research. However, the optimal IGF-1 dosage in the three-dimensional (3D) culture system is unknown. Mouse secondary follicles (140–

Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Receptor (IGF-IR) Ligands and BMI in Squamous Intra-Epithelial Lesion (SIL) of Cervix [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Cancer cervix is the most common cancer in women in developing countries like India. Several studies have linked insulin-like growth factors-I & II (IGF-I and IGF-II) and IGF binding proteins-3 (IGFBP-3) with pathogenesis of Squamous ...

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Validation of serum IGF-I as a biomarker to monitor the bioactivity of exogenous growth hormone agonists and antagonists in rabbits

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2014
The development of new growth hormone (GH) agonists and growth hormone antagonists (GHAs) requires animal models for pre-clinical testing. Ideally, the effects of treatment are monitored using the same pharmacodynamic marker that is later used in ...

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Do IGF-I concentrations better reflect growth hormone (GH) action in children with short stature than the results of GH stimulating tests? Evidence from the simultaneous assessment of thyroid function

open access: yesThyroid Research, 2011
Background The diagnosis of growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) in short children seems unquestionable when both GH peak in stimulating tests (GHST) and IGF-I concentration are decreased.

Pre- and Postoperative Circulating IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and IGFBP-7 Levels in Relation to Endocrine Treatment and Breast Cancer Recurrence: A Nested Case-Control Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its binding proteins (BPs) have been associated with breast cancer risk, especially high IGF-I concentrations and the biologically active fraction estimated as the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio.
