Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]

, 2019
Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...

Uniformly curated signaling pathways reveal tissue-specific cross-talks and support drug target discovery

, 2010
Motivation: Signaling pathways control a large variety of cellular processes. However, currently, even within the same database signaling pathways are often curated at different levels of detail.

Mammalian models of extended healthy lifespan [PDF]

, 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 ...

Cytokine Engineering Approaches for Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Engineered cytokines represent a powerful strategy to promote tissue repair and regeneration by precisely modulating immune responses. This review highlights recent advances in cytokine engineering, including strategies to enhance half‐life, improve tissue and cell targeting, and control receptor signaling.

The Role of Insulin, Insulin Growth Factor, and Insulin-Degrading Enzyme in Brain Aging and Alzheimer's Disease

Neural Plasticity, 2005
Most brain insulin comes from the pancreas and is taken up by the brain by what appears to be a receptor-based carrier. Type 2 diabetes animal models associated with insulin resistance show reduced insulin brain uptake and content.

High expression levels of total IGF-1R and sensitivity of NSCLC cells in vitro to an anti-IGF-1R antibody (R1507). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The IGF receptor type 1 (IGF-1R) pathway is frequently deregulated in human tumors and has become a target of interest for anti-cancer therapy.We used a panel of 22 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines to investigate predictive biomarkers of ...

Blockade of the type I IGF receptor expression in human prostate cancer cells inhibits proliferation and invasion, up‐regulates IGF binding protein‐3, and suppresses MMP‐2 expression

The Journal of Pathology, 2003
AbstractThe type I insulin‐like growth factor receptor (IGF‐IR) is involved in tumour cell proliferation, invasion, and cancer cell survival. Several studies indicate that the IGF axis contributes to prostate cancer pathogenesis, but there is no consensus regarding the relative expression of the IGF‐IR in benign and malignant prostate epithelium.

Cellular and molecular mediators of bone metastatic lesions [PDF]

, 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 ...

Novel Antimicrobial Protein Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 Accelerates Skin Wound Healing via Directly Inhibiting Bacteria and Activating Glycolysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wound infections induce gcFGF8a expression, which subsequently executes direct antimicrobial activity to suppress local infection while simultaneously activating the FGFR4‐mediated ERK/AKT‐mTOR signaling cascade, thereby upregulating HIF1α and enhancing glycolysis. These coordinated actions synergistically promote tissue repair by eliminating pathogens

How a Mutation that Slows Aging Can Also Disproportionately Extend End-of-Life Decrepitude

Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: The goal of aging research is to extend healthy, active life. For decades, C. elegans daf-2 insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor mutants have served as a model for extended lifespan and youthfulness.
