Characteristics of Hepatic IGF-II Expression and Monitored Levels of Circulating IGF-II mRNA in Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2010 Abstract The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains dismal. Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II), a fetal growth factor, is highly expressed during HCC development. We examined serum IGF-II levels and circulating IGF-II messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and analyzed the clinicopathologic characteristics in patients with ...

IGF-I receptor phosphorylation is impaired in cathepsin X-deficient prostate cancer cells [PDF]
, 2012 The cysteine-type peptidase cathepsin X is highly upregulated in several cancers and presumably promotes tumor invasion through bypassing cellular senescence. Here, we present first evidence that the underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of the

Temporal expression pattern of the insulin-like growth factor II and fibroblast growth factor transcripts in avian embryogenesis [PDF]
, 2008 In this study, the abundance of IGF-II and bFGF transcripts was estimated in the chicken embryos using the competitive RT-PCR analysis. Significant enhancements in the abundance of IGF-II mRNA were observed at stages HH1 and 5, and a new accumulation in ...

Nonislet Cell Tumor Hypoglycemia in a Patient with Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma
Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2016 Nonislet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare but serious paraneoplastic syndrome in which a tumor secretes incompletely processed precursors of insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II), causing hypoglycemia.
