ErbB2 enhances mammary tumorigenesis, oncogene-independent recurrence and metastasis in a model of IGF-IR-mediated mammary tumorigenesis

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2010
Background The type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) and ErbB2 (Her-2) are receptor tyrosine kinases implicated in human breast cancer.

Evolutionary analysis and functional characterization reveal the role of the insulin-like growth factor system in a diversified selection of chickens (Gallus gallus)

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2023
: The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays an indispensable role in embryonic and postnatal development in mammals. However, the effects of the system on growth, carcass, and egg-laying traits, and diversified selection have not been ...

Cellular and molecular mediators of bone metastatic lesions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Bone is the preferential site of metastasis for breast and prostate tumor. Cancer cells establish a tight relationship with the host tissue, secreting factors that stimulate or inhibit bone cells, receiving signals generated from the bone remodeling ...

Androgen receptor overexpression in prostate cancer in type 2 diabetes

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2018
Objective: While prostate cancer does not occur more often in men with diabetes, survival is markedly reduced in this patient group. Androgen signaling is a known and major driver for prostate cancer progression.

TRPV2 is critical for the maintenance of cardiac structure and function in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The heart has a dynamic compensatory mechanism for haemodynamic stress. However, the molecular details of how mechanical forces are transduced in the heart are unclear.

IGF-1 protects against angiotensin II-induced cardiac fibrosis by targeting αSMA

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2021
The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling in cardiomyocytes is implicated in physiological hypertrophy and myocardial aging. Although fibroblasts account for a small amount of the heart, they are activated when the heart is damaged to ...

Leptin receptor in the chicken ovary: potential involvement in ovarian dysfunction of ad libitum-fed broiler breeder hens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In hens, the ovarian follicles committed to ovulation are arranged in an ordered follicular hierarchy. In standard broiler breeders hens genetically selected for high growth rate the reproductive function is clearly dysfunctional.

Deficiency in type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor in mice protects against oxygen-induced lung injury

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2005
Background Cellular responses to aging and oxidative stress are regulated by type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R). Oxidant injury, which is implicated in the pathophysiology of a number of respiratory diseases, acutely upregulates IGF-1R ...

Understanding the key to targeting the IGF axis in cancer: a biomarker assessment

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2015
Type 1 insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) targeted therapies showed compelling pre-clinical evidence; however, to date, this failed to translate to patient benefit in Phase 2/3 trails in unselected patients. This was further complicated by the

Mammalian models of extended healthy lifespan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Over the last two centuries, there has been a significant increase in average lifespan expectancy in the developed world. One unambiguous clinical implication of getting older is the risk of experiencing age-related diseases including various cancers ...
