Plasma Distribution and Signaling Activities of IGF-II Precursors
IGF-II is thought to function through activation of the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) and the A isoform of the IR, with the IGF-IR being relevant to tumorigenesis and the IR to both tumorigenesis and metabolic control. In the paraneoplastic syndrome of nonislet cell tumor hypoglycemia, tumor-derived IGF-II has been proposed to exert both proliferative and ...

Muscle inactivation of mTOR causes metabolic and dystrophin defects leading to severe myopathy [PDF]
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a key regulator of cell growth that associates with raptor and rictor to form the mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC2, respectively.

Radioimmunoassay for Insulin-Like Growth Factor II(IGF-II).
Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) levels in human plasma were measured in physiological and pathological conditions by radioimmunoassay (RIA) with biosynthetic IGF-II. This RIA was specific for IGF-II and cross-reactivity with IGF-I was 1%. The sensitivity was 15 pg/tube with 50% displacement at 50 pg/tube.

Refractory hypoglycemia induced by a duodenal wall gastrointestinal stromal tumor: A case report
Background: Tumor-associated hypoglycemia can be caused by non-islet cell tumors including gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) which is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that leads to the release of insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2). Case Presentation:

Expression of Insulinlike Growth Factor (IGF) and IGF-Binding Protein Genes in Human Lung Tumor Cell Lines [PDF]
Background: The presence of multiple, low-molecular-weight, insulinlike growth factor (IGF)-binding proteins in lung tumor cell-conditioned medium and lung cancer patient serum has been recently reported.

A daganatos és stroma sejtek közötti interakciók vizsgálata a gyomorrák kialakulásában és progressziójában. Klinikai és kísérletes vizsgálatok. = The role of tumor-stroma interactions in the initiation and progression of gastric cancer. Clinical and experimental studies. [PDF]
Kísérleteink azt mutatták, hogy a humán gyomor miofibroblaszt sejtek (HGM) száma a rákos szövetben nagy mértékben megnövekedett, továbbá morfológiai és szerkezeti károsodást szenvedtek a normál szöveti sejtekhez képest.

RAB family gene expression in breast cancer cells under influence of paclitaxel [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of paclitaxel on RAB family of genes in primary breast cancer cell lines. The cancer breast cells obtained from 40 women during mastectomy were used to address this issue. The group included patients with
