An insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein enhances the biologic response to IGF-I.
The insulin-like growth factors IGF-I and IGF-II circulate in blood bound to carrier proteins. The higher molecular mass IGF-binding protein complex (150 kDa) is composed of subunits, and one subunit that forms this complex is growth hormone dependent. In addition, many cell types and tissues secrete another form of IGF binding protein that is not growth hormone dependent. Both forms of the IGF...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF binding protein-5 in Schwann cell differentiation.
Schwann cells (SCs) are the myelin producing cells of the peripheral nervous system. During development, SCs cease proliferation and differentiate into either a myelin-forming or non-myelin forming mature phenotype. We are interested in the role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in SC development. We have shown previously SCs proliferate in response to IGF-I in vitro. In the current study...
متن کاملIdentification of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-binding protein in chylous ascites.
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are bound by several IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) that appear to regulate IGF transportation, receptor binding and action. In adult human serum, most of IGFs are bound in a 150 kDa complex which could not cross the capillary wall. We measured IGF-I and IGFBPs in chyle by radioimmunoassay and western ligand blot. The concentration of IGF-I in chyle was only 15...
متن کاملPlasma insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I, IGF-binding protein 3, and mammographic density.
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play a role in the normal development of breast tissue and possibly in the etiology of breast cancer. Breast density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer. In a cross-sectional analysis within the Nurses' Health Study, we compared the associations of plasma levels of endogenous IGF-I and IG...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), IGF-binding proteins, and breast cancer.
Epidemiological evidence supports a role for the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the induction and progression of various cancers. Estrogen, which plays a role in the etiology of breast cancer, both regulates and is influenced by the IGF family. Risk of breast cancer associated with serum levels of IGF-I and/or IGFBPs may therefore depend upon menopausa...
