IGF2 knockout reduces but does not abolish osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
To test whether endogenous IGF2 promotes osteosarcoma growth, IGF2 was knocked out in Saos2 cells via CRISPR‐Cas9. KO cells showed reduced proliferation in vitro, and knockout xenografts in mice reached only ~25% of wild‐type tumor volume. Insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is implicated in osteosarcoma, but direct functional evidence of its role is ...

TROP2‐Targeting Chimeras (TRTACs) for Tumor Cell‐Selective Membrane Protein Degradation and Enhanced Drug Delivery [PDF]
TROP2 is identified as a novel tumor‐selective lysosomal‐targeting receptor with established clinical relevance. TROP2‐targeting chimeras (TRTACs) are developed by genetically fusing a TROP2‐binding nanobody to nanobodies against specific target proteins.

DNA Methylation and Transcriptomic Profiles of Wilms Tumour Reveal New Deregulated Genes and Epigenetic Processes Relevant for Tumour Stratification and Management [PDF]
ABSTRACT Wilms Tumour (WT), the most common kidney cancer in children, presents features of altered kidney development and frequently exhibits molecular alterations at the 11p15.5 imprinted locus, affecting the IGF2 and H19 genes, which contribute to tumour growth and predisposition.

Paternal Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (Igf2) Regulates Stem Cell Activity During Adulthood
Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) belongs to the IGF/Insulin pathway, a highly conserved evolutionarily network that regulates growth, aging and lifespan. Igf2 is highly expressed in the embryo and in cancer cells.

PCR-RFLP Analysis of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 Gene Polymorphisms in Two Commercial Broiler Chicken Strains (Cobb 500 and Hubbard F-15) and Their Associations with Performance Traits [PDF]
The present research aimed to study the polymorphisms of the chicken insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) in two commercial broiler breeds (Cobb 500 and Hubbard F-15). In total, 300 avian blood samples were obtained.

Non-glycosylated IGF2 prohormones are more mitogenic than native IGF2
Insulin-like Growth Factor-2 (IGF2) is important for the regulation of human embryonic growth and development, and for adults’ physiology. Incorrect processing of the IGF2 precursor, pro-IGF2(156), leads to the formation of two IGF2 proforms, big-IGF2(87)

ZBED6 regulates Igf2 expression partially through its regulation of miR483 expression
The expression of Igf2 in mammals shows a complex regulation involving multiple promoters and epigenetic mechanisms. We previously identified a novel regulatory mechanism based on the interaction between the transcriptional factor ZBED6 and Igf2 intron ...
