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.

Ovarian follicular expression of mRNA encoding the type I IGF receptor and IGF-binding protein-2 in sheep following five days of nutritional supplementation with glucose, glucosamine or lupins [PDF]
The IGF system is associated with ovarian folliculogenesis. The effect of the IGFs mediated through the type I receptor (IGF-IR) and IGF-binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2), is to regulate the growth and atresia of follicles. To test if the mRNAs for IGF-IR and IGFBP-2 are differentially regulated in the follicle we used nutritional treatments that stimulate ...

Reversal of age-related learning deficiency by the vertebrate PACAP and IGF-1 in a novel invertebrate model of aging: the pond snail (Lymnaea Stagnalis) [PDF]
With the increase of life span, nonpathological age-related memory decline is affecting an increasing number of people. However, there is evidence that age-associated memory impairment only suspends, rather than irreversibly extinguishes, the intrinsic ...

We have used site-directed mutagenesis of a synthetic gene for insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I to prepare three analogs in which specific residues in the A region are replaced with the corresponding residues in the A chain of insulin. The analogs are [Ile41, Glu45, Gln46, Thr49, Ser50, Ile51, Ser53, Tyr55, Gln56]IGF I (A chain mutant), in which ...

The cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes mediates glucocorticoid-induced loss of the type-2 IGF receptor in ileal epithelial cells [PDF]
Glucocorticoids induce hypertrophy of the neonatal ileal mucosa but the molecular mechanisms behind this growth induction remain poorly understood. Ileal epithelial cells (IECs) are dependent upon IGF-II for proliferation both in vivo and in culture. The type-2 IGF receptor (IGFR-2) is a lysosomal transport protein that attenuates IGF-II-driven growth ...

The renin-angiotensin (RA) system has been implicated in lung tumorigenesis without detailed mechanistic elucidation. Here, we demonstrate that exposure to the representative tobacco-specific carcinogen nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1 ...

Elevated insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein (IGFBP)-2 and IGFBP-4 expression of leukemic T-cells is affected by autocrine/paracrine IGF-II action but not by IGF type I receptor expression [PDF]
We recently found evidence indicating that the source of elevated serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2 in leukemia was the leukemic T-cells. Here we report that locally produced IGF-II affects IGFBP-2 expression and growth of leukemic cells through the IGF type I receptor.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 is a negative modulator of glucagon secretion [PDF]
Glucagon secretion involves a combination of paracrine, autocrine, hormonal, and autonomic neural mechanisms. Type 2 diabetes often presents impaired glucagon suppression by insulin and glucose.
