Deciphering Brain Insulin Receptor and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor Signalling
Insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) are highly conserved receptor tyrosine kinases that share signalling proteins and are ubiquitously expressed in the brain. Central application of insulin or IGF1 exerts several similar physiological outcomes, varying in strength, whereas disruption of the corresponding receptors in the brain leads to remarkably different ef...
متن کاملInsulin and insulin-like growth factor I signalling in neurons.
Insulin-like peptides are an ancient acquisition in phylogeny, suggesting a crucial biological role for these family of peptides. Indeed, a key function of these hormones in cell metabolism and growth has been firmly established. However, their significance in neuronal physiology is less characterized, although progress in recent years on the neuroactive properties of insulin and insulin-like g...
متن کاملAntiapoptotic signalling by the insulin-like growth factor I receptor, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and Akt.
We have found that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) can protect fibroblasts from apoptosis induced by UV-B light. Antiapoptotic signalling by the IGF-I receptor depended on receptor kinase activity, as cells overexpressing kinase-defective receptor mutants could not be protected by IGF-I. Overexpression of a kinase-defective receptor which contained a mutation in the ATP binding loop functi...
متن کاملLigand-Mediated Endocytosis and Trafficking of the Insulin-Like Growth Factor Receptor I and Insulin Receptor Modulate Receptor Function
The insulin-like growth factor system and its two major receptors, the IGF receptor I (IGF-IR) and IR, plays a central role in a variety of physiological cellular processes including growth, differentiation, motility, and glucose homeostasis. The IGF-IR is also essential for tumorigenesis through its capacity to protect cancer cells from apoptosis. The IR is expressed in two isoforms: the IR is...
متن کاملA novel, potent, and selective insulin-like growth factor-I receptor kinase inhibitor blocks insulin-like growth factor-I receptor signaling in vitro and inhibits insulin-like growth factor-I receptor dependent tumor growth in vivo.
Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) and its ligands, IGF-I and IGF-II, are up-regulated in a variety of human cancers. In tumors, such as colorectal, non-small cell lung, ovarian, and pediatric cancers, which may drive their own growth and survival through autocrine IGF-II expression, the role of IGF-IR is especially critical. Here, we present a novel small-molecule IGF-IR kinase inh...
