IGFBPs and cancer.

Novartis Foundation symposium, 2004
The proposed insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) superfamily are a group of secreted proteins that are structurally, functionally and evolutionarily related, and include six IGFBPs and over 10 IGFBP-related proteins. The IGFBPs have high affinities for insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), thereby modulating the mitogenic, anti-apoptotic ...

Serum proteolysis of IGFBP-3

Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1995
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability is modulated by a family of six IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) that binds IGF with affinities similar to that of the type 1 IGF receptor. Proteolytic degradation of IGFBP-3, the major serum IGFBP, was first reported in pregnancy serum and suggested to be an additional mechanism involved in the regulation ...

ADAM 12-S Cleaves IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5 and Is Inhibited by TIMP-3

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2000
ADAMs are a family of multidomain proteins having proteolytic and cell adhesion activities. We have previously shown that ADAM 12-S, the secreted soluble form of human ADAM 12, is a catalytically active protease. We now describe the purification of full-length recombinant ADAM 12-S and demonstrate that it cleaves insulin-like growth factor binding ...

Role of a new member of IGFBP superfamily, IGFBP-rP10, in proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004
Bone regeneration is critically regulated by various molecules. To identify the new genes involved in bone regeneration, we performed microarray-based gene expression analysis using a mouse bone regeneration model. We identified a new member of the IGFBP superfamily, designated IGFBP-rP10, whose expression is up-regulated at the early phase of bone ...

IGFs and IGFBPs: role in health and disease

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002
The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), and IGFBP proteases are the main regulators of somatic growth and cellular proliferation. IGFs are involved in growth pre-natally and post-natally. Dysregulation of the IGF axis can lead to growth disorders such as growth hormone deficiency and acromegaly.

IGFBPs and neoplastic models

Endocrine, 1997
The insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are a family of seven structurally homologous proteins that bind insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) and IGF-II with high affinity, thereby modu-lating the actions of IGFs. Several lines of recent evidence from various cell systems have suggested that IGFBPs, especially IGFBP-3, may play more ...

Clinical information on serum IGFBP-3 levels and IGFBP-3 proteolytic activity in childhood

Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1995
In this review paper, three pieces of clinical information in childhood are presented: (1) IGFBP-3 may replace GH provocation tests in the diagnosis of GH deficiency (GHD); (2) IGFBP-3 levels are regulated by IGF-I levels in a short period, and (3) ratio of free IGF-I to total IGF-I is high in serum of early infancy, similarly to serum of pregnancy ...

IGFBP-3

Endocrine, 1997
Over the last several years, the authors have studied the relationship of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the circulation in a number of clinical settings. Patterns have emerged that seem to be characteristic of various conditions.

IGFBP-3 and apoptosis—a licence to kill?

Apoptosis, 2001
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3, the major carrier of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in the circulation, was first isolated and characterised over a decade ago. More recently, IGFBP-3 has been assigned a role as a putative death-promoting factor, a function that appears, under certain circumstances, to be independent of its IGF-
