Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-6 and cancer.
The IGF (insulin-like growth factor) system is essential for physiological growth and it is also implicated in a number of diseases including cancer. IGF activity is modulated by a family of high-affinity IGF-binding proteins, and IGFBP-6 is distinctive because of its marked binding preference for IGF-II over IGF-I. A principal role for IGFBP-6 is inhibition of IGF-II actions, but recent studie...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor binding protein -2 and -4 messenger ribonucleic acid expression in bovine ovarian follicles: effect of gonadotropins and developmental status.
This work is concerned with the role of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2 and -4 in the regulation of IGF bioactivity in bovine follicles during the development of dominance. We measured the expression of IGFBP-2 and -4 messenger RNA (mRNA) in small (1-4 mm) gonadotropin-sensitive follicles and medium (4-8 mm) and large (>8 mm) gonadotropin-dependent follicles using in situ h...
متن کاملGeneration of Antisera to Mouse Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBP)-1 to -6: Comparison of IGFBP Protein and Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Localization in the Mouse Embryo1.
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is an important regulator of fetal growth and differentiation. IGF bioavailability is modulated by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). We have generated six different antisera, directed to synthetic peptide fragments of mouse IGFBP-1 through -6. The specificity of the produced antisera was demonstrated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting...
متن کاملHeparin binding domain of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 stimulates mesangial cell migration.
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) is produced by mesangial cells (MCs) and likely functions to modulate glomerular IGF-I activity. Although IGFBP-5 may be inhibitory for IGF-stimulated MC activity, preliminary studies suggested that IGFBP-5 acts directly on MCs. To investigate this further, we evaluated the effects of IGFBP-5 on rat MC migration. We found that the...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 in Crohn's disease.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and its binding protein IGF binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5) were highly expressed in inflamed and fibrotic intestine in experimental Crohn's disease. IGF-I induced proliferation and increased collagen synthesis by smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts/myofibroblasts in vitro. Here we studied IGF-I and IGFBP-5 in Crohn's disease tissue. Tissue was collected from pati...
