چکیده
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is one of the most common causes for failed retinal detachment surgeries. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6) in PVR using rat models and its effects on retinal pigment epithelial-J (RPE-J) cells. PVR Wistar rat models were administered intravitreal injection of RPE-J cells (1x106/5 μl) combined with platelet-rich plasma (1x107/5 μl). The concentration of IGFBP-6 in the vitreous and serum of rats was tested by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the expression of IGFBP-6 mRNA in the liver and retina of rats was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The expression of IGFBP-6 mRNA in the RPE-J cells stimulated by vitreous or serum from PVR patients or normal volunteers was also determined by qPCR. The proliferation of RPE-J cells was evaluated by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl) -2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt (MTS) method. The success rate of PVR rat model induction at the 8th week was 89.5% (34/38). The concentration of IGFBP-6 in the vitreous and serum of PVR rats was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The expression of IGFBP-6 mRNA in the retina of PVR rats was also significantly higher compared with the control group (P<0.05). The vitreous from PVR patients and donors significantly stimulated the expression of IGFBP-6 mRNA in the RPE-J cells (P<0.05). IGFBP-6 only inhibited IGF-II-stimulated proliferation but not the basal level of proliferation or the PDGF/VEGF-stimulated RPE-J cell proliferation. Thus, the trends and effects of IGFBP-6 provide the possibility of PVR therapeutic targets, with the vitreous representing a significant environmental factor in the progression of PVR.

Objectives The loss of muscle mass in older adults is attributed to the impaired ability of the skeletal muscle in response to anabolic stimuli and the increased activation of the proteolytic signaling pathway. With increasing age, plasma concentrations of circulating anabolic hormones and growth factors, e.g. testosterone, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and Insulin-like Growth Factor Bin...
متن کاملRegulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein synthesis and secretion in human retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) secrete insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), a family of polypeptides which modulate the actions of the insulin-like growth factors. RPE cells secrete two IGFBPs with Mr estimates of 34,000 and 46,000, respectively. Treatment of RPE cells with IGF-I markedly stimulated the secretion of the 46,000 Mr form. This stimulation oc...

Introduction: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) may present with growth retardation. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) mediates the anabolic effects of growth hormone (GH) on tissues. Most of the circulating IGF-1 molecules are bound to insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3). IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 serum levels reflect the levels of daily mean serum GH and are used as indices for e...

Expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I and its type I receptor is increased in the adult rat lung exposed to 85% O2. We hypothesized that there would be a parallel up- and downregulation of growth-stimulating and growth-inhibiting IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), respectively. The normal adult rat lung expresses mRNAs for IGFBP-2, -3, -4, -5, and -6 but not for IGFBP-1. O2 exposure for ...
