Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 6

Definitions, 2020
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 6 (240 aa, ~25 kDa) is encoded by the human IGFBP6 gene. This protein plays a role in insulin-like growth factor binding.

Role of Insulin-like Growth Factor, Insulin-like Growth Factor Receptors, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Proteins in Ovarian Cancer.

Indian journal of medical and paediatric oncology : official journal of Indian Society of Medical & Paediatric Oncology, 2017
Insulin and IGFs play an important role in cancer initiation and progression, including ovarian cancer (OC). Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most frequent type of OC in women and it is the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Generally, insulin is associated with metabolism, whereas Insulin like growth factors (IGFs) are involved in ...

Direct Functional Interactions between Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Protein-3 and Retinoid X Receptor-α Regulate Transcriptional Signaling and Apoptosis*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 regulates apoptosis in an IGF-independent fashion and has been shown to localize to nuclei. We cloned the nuclear receptor retinoid X receptor-α(RXR-α) as an IGFBP-3 protein partner in a yeast two ...

Growth Hormone Receptor Gene Expression Increase Reflects Nutritional Status Improvement in Patients Affected by Crohn's Disease

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Background: We proposed to verify the role of growth hormone receptor gene expression in growth failure of children with Crohn's disease (CD).Methods: We measured serum levels of growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Risk prognosis correlation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 and insulin-like growth factor-1 in uterine fibroids [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry
Background: To explore the relationships between the levels of serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and immune factors, as well as the prognosis of patients with uterine fibroids.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Serum Insulin-like Growth Factors and Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Proteins: Clinical Implications [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 1999
AbstractThe last decade has been characterized by a major investigative thrust into the physiology of two unique but ubiquitous peptides, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-II. The regulatory systems that control the tissue bioactivity of the IGFs have been delineated, and subcellular signaling mechanisms have been clarified.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Selected Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein Concentrations during an Ultramarathon Sled Dog Race

The Scientific World Journal, 2016
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of running a 1000-mile (1600 km) endurance sled dog race on serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding proteins 1 and 3 (IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3).
