Binding of mutants of human insulin-like growth factor II to insulin-like growth factor binding proteins 1-6

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993
A family of six specific insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) modulates the biological actions of the insulin-like growth factors, IGF-I and IGF-II. In the present study, we determined the binding affinity of purified human IGFBPs 1-6 for recombinant human IGF-II mutants whose binding to IGF-I, IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate, and insulin ...

α2-Macroglobulin: a New Component in the Insulin-like Growth Factor/Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-1 Axis [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are crucial for many aspects of development, growth, and metabolism yet control of their activity by IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) remains controversial. The effect of IGFBP-1 depends on its phosphorylation status; phosphorylated IGFBP-1 inhibits IGF actions whereas the nonphosphorylated isoform is stimulatory.

Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 Increases Mouse Preimplantation Embryo Cleavage Rate by Activation of IGF1R and EGFR Independent of IGF1 Signalling

Cells, 2022
The viability of embryos cultured in vitro is poor compared to those that develop in vivo. The lack of maternally derived growth factors in vitro may contribute to this problem.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I and -11 and IGFBinding Proteins-l, -2, and -3 in Children and Adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus: Correlation with Metabolic Control and Height Attainment. [PDF]

, 1995
The putative effects of diabetes and metabolic control on circulating levels of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) remain controversial.

Consequences of Postnatally Elevated Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II in Transgenic Mice: Endocrine Changes and Effects on Body and Organ Growth. [PDF]

, 1994
Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is an important regulator of embryonic growth and differentiation, but its function in postnatal life is unclear. To address this point, we generated transgenic mice harboring fusion genes in which a human IGF-II

IGF-Binding Proteins: Why Do They Exist and Why Are There So Many?

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are key growth-promoting peptides that act as both endocrine hormones and autocrine/paracrine growth factors. In the bloodstream and in local tissues, most IGF molecules are bound by one of the members of the IGF ...

Targeting insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 by microRNA-125b promotes tumor invasion and poor outcomes in non-small-cell lung cancer

Tumor Biology, 2017
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 acts as a tumor suppressor that inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway due to blocking insulin growth factor-1 binding to its receptor.

Insulin-like growth factor 1 stimulates the angiogenic activity of adipose tissue–derived microvascular fragments

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2019
Angiogenesis in adipose tissue is promoted by insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling. We analyzed whether this regulatory mechanism also improves the angiogenic activity of adipose tissue–derived microvascular fragments.
