چکیده
Insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGFR1) plays a crucial role in oncogenic transformation [C. Sell et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 14: 3604-3612,1994]. Compared with the normal human mammary epithelial cell line MCF12A, MCF7 human mammary carcinoma cells overexpress IGFR1 on the cell surface. To measure the effects of IGFR1 inhibition on tumor cells, we tested two mouse neutralizing antibodies against human IGFR1 in cell-based assays. Both MAB391 and anti-IR3 antibodies inhibit IGFR1 autophosphorylation upon IGF-I ligand stimulation with IC50s of 0.58 and 0.80 nM, respectively. When cells were treated with neutralizing anti-IGFR1 antibodies for > or = 4 h, the total receptor level was dramatically decreased. IGF-I-stimulated activation of AKT was also inhibited by anti-IGFR1 antibodies. Furthermore, MAB391 and anti-IR3 inhibited the growth of MCF7 cells in soft agar. In addition to MCF7 cells, MAB391 also inhibited IGFR1 autophosphorylation and induced IGFR1 down-modulation in HT29 colorectal and Du145 prostate cancer cells. Therefore, neutralizing antibodies against IGFR1 represent a valid approach to inhibit growth of tumor cells.

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...

The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is a transmembrane receptor with tyrosine kinase activity. The receptor plays a critical role in cancer. Using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the IGF-1R, typically blocks ligand binding and enhances down-regulation of the cell-surface IGF-1R. Some MAbs such as cixutumumab are under clinical trial investigation. Targeting multiple distinct...

Abstract Introduction: There is limited knowledge available on the metabolism of glucose in the brain, an insulin insensitive organ. Insulin receptors hybridize with insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-I) to transduce the signals in different areas of the brain. In this article we aimed at investigating whether the expression of IGF-I receptor and IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBP1) is change...
