The Insulin/IGF system in colorectal cancer development and resistance to therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2015
The Insulin/Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is a major determinant in the pathogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Indeed, several components of this signaling network including Insulin, IGF-1, IGF-2, the IGF-Binding Proteins, the

The beta secretase BACE1 regulates the expression of insulin receptor in the liver

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
A soluble form of insulin receptor in human plasma has been previously reported. Here the authors demonstrate that insulin receptor is cleaved by BACE1 that can regulate biological active insulin receptor levels in a glucose concentration-dependent ...

An Artificial Insulin Receptor that Self-assembles and Works on a Gold Surface

open access: yesElectrochemistry
A novel artificial insulin receptor was developed, that can self-assemble on a gold surface and alter its structure in response to insulin recognition via partial domains of the intrinsic insulin receptor.

Computational insights into the allosteric behavior of mini proinsulin driven by C peptide mobility

open access: yesScientific Reports
The production of recombinant insulin remains challenging, particularly in enhancing refolding efficiency and bioactivity. Mini-proinsulin analogs, which involve reducing the length of the C-peptide, offer potential improvements in insulin production ...

Immunohistochemical analysis of insulin‐like growth factor I, insulin‐like growth factor I receptor and insulin‐like growth factor II in endometriotic tissue and endometrium

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1997
Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate unprecedentedly immunohistochemical localization of insulin‐like growth factor I, insulin‐like growth factor I receptor and insulin‐like growth factor II in endometriotic tissue, and to compare ...

Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein-1 Protects Against Hepatic Insulin Resistance and Hepatic Steatosis

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2016
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) is a multifunctional uptake receptor for chylomicron remnants in the liver. In vascular smooth muscle cells LRP1 controls reverse cholesterol transport through platelet-derived growth factor ...

Agonism and Antagonism at the Insulin Receptor

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Insulin can trigger metabolic as well as mitogenic effects, the latter being pharmaceutically undesirable. An understanding of the structure/function relationships between insulin receptor (IR) binding and mitogenic/metabolic signalling would greatly facilitate the preclinical development of new insulin analogues.
