Insulin-like growth factors I and II in evaluation of growth retardation

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1986
Plasma samples from 68 growth hormone (GH)-deficient children (provocative serum GH level less than 7 ng/ml), 44 normal short children, and 197 children with normal height were assayed by specific radioimmunoassays for the somatomedin peptides, insulin-like growth factors (IGF)-I and -II.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Imprinting and Promoter Usage of Insulin-Like Growth Factor II in Twin Discordant Placenta

Obstetrics and Gynecology International, 2010
Case reports from infant twins suggest that abnormal genomic imprinting may be one of the important causes of twin discordance, but it is unknown whether abnormal genomic imprinting occurs in the placenta.

Non-Islet Cell Tumor Hypoglycemia at the Second Recurrence of Malignant Solitary Fibrous Tumor in the Retroperitoneum and Pelvis: A Case Report

Case Reports in Oncology, 2012
An 83-year-old man underwent complete resection of a large malignant solitary fibrous tumor in the retroperitoneum in 2006 and of a local recurrent tumor in 2010. In 2011, he was admitted to our hospital because of hypoglycemia.

Cell-free synthesis of rat insulin-like growth factor II [PDF]

Diabetes, 1982
Total RNA extracted from a rat liver cell line (BRL 3A) that synthesizes rat insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) was translated in a reticulocyte lysate cell-free system. Incubation of the translation products with antisera to mature rat IGF-II (Mr 8700) selectively immunoprecipitated a Mr 21,600 protein.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Comparative Effectiveness of Structural versus Regulatory Protein Gene Transfer on Articular Chondrocyte Matrix Gene Expression [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVE: The production of extracellular matrix is a necessary component of articular cartilage repair. Gene transfer is a promising method to improve matrix biosynthesis by articular chondrocytes.

Hippo pathway at the crossroads of stemness and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway drives nuclear accumulation of YAP/TAZ, activating stemness‐related transcriptional programs that sustain breast cancer stemness and fuel therapeutic resistance across subtypes, underscoring Hippo signaling as a targetable vulnerability. Figure created and edited with BioRender.com.
