Revisiting the IGF-1R as a breast cancer target

open access: yesnpj Precision Oncology, 2017
The type I insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor is a well-described target in breast cancer and multiple clinical trials examining insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor have been completed.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain is involved in insulin-stimulated hydrogen peroxide production and plays an integral role in insulin receptor autophosphorylation in neurons

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background Accumulated evidence suggests that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated in cells during insulin stimulation plays an integral role in insulin receptor signal transduction.

When intensive insulin therapy (MDi) fails in patients with type 2 diabetes: Switching to GLP-1 receptor agonist versus insulin pump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Treatment with insulin, alone or with oral or injectable hypoglycemic agents, is becoming increasingly common in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, approximately 40% of patients fail to reach their glycemic targets with the initially prescribed ...

Minimizing Mitogenic Potency of Insulin Analogues Through Modification of a Disulfide Bond

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The mechanisms by which insulin activates the insulin receptor to promote metabolic processes and cellular growth are still not clear. Significant advances have been gained from recent structural studies in understanding how insulin binds to its receptor.

Effect of diet-induced obesity on protein expression in insulin signalling pathways of skeletal muscle in male Wistar rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diet-induced obesity is increasing globally, and posing significant health problems for millions of people worldwide. Diet-induced obesity is a major contributor to the global pandemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Functional selectivity of insulin receptor revealed by aptamer-trapped receptor structures

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
DNA aptamers can activate insulin receptor as selective agonists or positive allosteric modulators. Here, authors determine structures of the insulin receptor bound to aptamers and provide a basis for the selective activation or allosteric regulation of ...

A novel nonsense mutation in the insulin receptor gene in a patient with HAIR-AN syndrome and endometrial cancer

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2023
Severe insulin resistance can be caused by rare genetic defects in the insulin receptor known as insulin receptoropathies. These genetic defects cause a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mild syndromes to lethal disorders. Among those

Magnesium supplementation enhances insulin sensitivity and decreases insulin resistance in diabetic rats [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2020
Objective(s): Diabetes mellitus has been suggested to be the most common metabolic disorder associated with magnesium deficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of magnesium supplementation on insulin receptor activity in ...

An insulin receptor mutant (Asp707 → Ala), involved in leprechaunism, is processed and transported to the cell surface but unable to bind insulin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We have identified a homozygous mutation near the carboxyl terminus of the insulin receptor (IR) α subunit from a leprechaun patient, changing Asp707 into Ala. Fibroblasts from this patient had no high affinity insulin binding sites.

Landmarks in insulin research

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
Ever since the discovery of insulin and its role in the regulation of glucose uptake and utilization, there has been great interest in insulin, its structure and the way in which it interacts with its receptor and effects signal transduction. As the 90th
