Insulin receptor and cancer [PDF]

open access: possibleEndocrine-Related Cancer, 2011
The widespread epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes has raised concern for the impact of these disorders as risk factors for cancer and has renewed the interest for studies regarding the involvement of hyperinsulinemia and insulin receptor (IR) in cancer progression.

Insulin, insulin receptors, and cancer

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2016
Insulin is a major regulator of cell metabolism but, in addition, is also a growth factor. Insulin effects in target cells are mediated by the insulin receptor (IR), a transmembrane protein with enzymatic (tyrosine kinase) activity. The insulin receptor, however, is represented by a heterogeneous family of proteins, including two different IR isoforms ...

IRS-1-Mediated Inhibition of Insulin Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Activity in TNF-α- and Obesity-Induced Insulin Resistance

Science, 1996
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an important mediator of insulin resistance in obesity and diabetes through its ability to decrease the tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor (IR). Treatment of cultured murine adipocytes with TNF-α was shown

daf-2, an insulin receptor-like gene that regulates longevity and diapause in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Science, 1997
A C. elegans neurosecretory signaling system regulates whether animals enter the reproductive life cycle or arrest development at the long-lived dauer diapause stage.

Ketoacids and the insulin receptor

Diabetes, 1978
The binding of insulin to a specific receptor on IM-9-cultured human lymphocytes was studied in vitro under conditions simulating diabetic ketoacidosis. Compared with control incubations at pH 7.4, binding was reduced by 19 per cent at pH 7.1 and by 48 per cent at pH 6.8. Addition of β-hydroxybutyrate, at concentrations similar to those seen clinically,

Effect of insulin receptor autophosphorylation on insulin receptor binding

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1986
Insulin receptor beta-subunit autophosphorylation, the first event occurring after insulin binding, plays a crucial role in modulation of receptor-associated kinase activity towards exogenous substrates and possibly in the transmission of biological signals of insulin. Receptor autophosphorylation strongly depends on insulin receptor occupancy.

A Mutant Drosophila Insulin Receptor Homolog That Extends Life-Span and Impairs Neuroendocrine Function

Science, 2001
The Drosophila melanogaster gene insulin-like receptor (InR) is homologous to mammalian insulin receptors as well as to Caenorhabditis elegans daf-2, a signal transducer regulating worm dauer formation and adult longevity.

The Insulin Receptor

Diabetes, 1972
Studies with bulky and insoluble insulin derivatives indicate that this hormone can activate various metabolic processes by interaction with cell surface structures. A definition of “receptor” is offered which is operationally useful in studies directed to the identification and purification of receptor structures.

THE ERYTHROCYTE INSULIN RECEPTOR

Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science, 1981
SummaryA precise, reproducible radioreceptor assay has been developed for insulin receptors on human erythrocytes. The mean specific binding in 11 normal volunteers was 7.7% ± 1.6 (S.D.) per 2.25 × 109 erythrocytes. The intra and inter assay coefficients of variation are 4%.

Extended Longevity in Mice Lacking the Insulin Receptor in Adipose Tissue

Science, 2003
Caloric restriction has been shown to increase longevity in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. In some organisms, this has been associated with a decreased fat mass and alterations in insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) pathways.
