چکیده

OBJECTIVE Patients with a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) suffering from non-islet cell tumour-induced hypoglycaemia (NICTH), being associated with increased plasma levels of pro-insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-IIE[68-88], have been reported occasionally. We studied the clinical relevance of pro-IGF-IIE[68-88] and other IGF-related proteins in GIST patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients were included. Plasma samples were collected before 1 week and median 5 months after start of treatment with imatinib, and levels of IGF-I, total IGF-II, pro-IGF-IIE[68-88], insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-2, -3 and -6 were determined. GIST specimens from 17 patients and tumour cyst fluid from two patients were analysed for IGF-II and IGFBP-2. RESULTS Before treatment and/or during follow-up, 3 of 24 (13%) patients showed increased plasma levels of pro-IGF-IIE[68-88]. All three developed NICTH. Overall, patients with metastatic disease, elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase activity or total tumour size >12 cm had the highest pro-IGF-IIE[68-88] levels. Most patients had increased plasma IGFBP-2 levels and these levels were significantly higher in patients with progressive disease. (Pro-)IGF-II was expressed in 82% of GISTs and IGFBP-2 only in one case. CONCLUSION We identified pro-IGF-IIE[68-88] as a marker that may be used in the surveillance of GIST.

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...

Background & Objective: To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV).

Investigation on the Levels of IGF-I Receptor and IGF-I Binding Protein I in the Brain of Insulin Resistant Rats

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...
