IGF-1 and PDGF-bb suppress IL-1β-induced cartilage degradation through down-regulation of NF-κB signaling: involvement of Src/PI-3K/AKT pathway. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Growth factors (GFs) capable of antagonizing the catabolic actions of cytokines may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of OA.

Differential Expression of IGF Components and Insulin Receptor Isoforms in Human Seminoma Versus Normal Testicular Tissue

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2005
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) have mitogenic and antiapoptotic functions, and may be involved in tumor growth. The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of IGF components in seminoma compared to normal testis.

Novel nuclear localization and potential function of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor/insulin receptor hybrid in corneal epithelial cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor (INSR) are highly homologous molecules, which can heterodimerize to form an IGF-1R/INSR hybrid (Hybrid-R).

Role of the Insulin-Like Growth Factor Type 1 Receptor in the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Encephalopathy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Endocrinology, 2015
Defective cognitive function is common in patients with diabetes, suggesting that insulin normally exerts anabolic actions in neuron, namely, diabetic encephalopathy.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Knockout of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor impairs distal lung morphogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and -II) are pleiotropic regulators of somatic growth and development in vertebrate species. Endocrine and paracrine effects of both hormones are mediated by a common IGF type 1 receptor (IGF-1R).

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Synergistic cardiac pathological hypertrophy induced by high-salt diet in IGF-IIRα cardiac-specific transgenic rats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy leads to heart failure. Our previous studies demonstrate that insulin-like growth factor-II receptor (IGF-IIR) signaling is pivotal to hypertrophy regulation.

Dual silencing of the EGF and type 1 IGF receptors suggests dominance of IGF signaling in human breast cancer cells

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2007
Signaling via the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) confers resistance to EGF receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. It is plausible that reciprocal EGFR compensation could mediate resistance to IGF1R inhibition, prompting us to investigate effects of IGF1R depletion on EGFR signaling in breast cancer cells expressing relatively high (MDA-MB-468)

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]

open access: yes, 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.
