Dysregulation of the IGF axis is implicated in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa), 2 of the most common diseases affecting elderly males. PCa is the second leading cause of male-related cancer death in Western societies. Although distinct pathologies, BPH and PCa are both characterized by extensive stromal remodeling, in particular fibroblast-to-myof...
The acid-labile subunit (ALS) is known to interact with the IGF binding protein (IGFBP) in the presence of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). Studies, however, indicate that ALS forms a doublet with IGFBP3, independent of IGFs. To characterize the structural domain required for the IGF-free ALS-IGFBP3 interaction, seven recombinant human IGFBP3 mutants were generated: three deletion mutants an...
BACKGROUND The sleep disorder narcolepsy is caused by a vast reduction in neurons producing the hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptides. Based on the tight association with HLA, narcolepsy is believed to result from an autoimmune attack, but the cause of hypocretin cell loss is still unknown. We performed gene expression profiling in the hypothalamus to identify novel genes dysregulated in narcolepsy...
The aim of the paper is to determine whether IGF1, IGFBP3 and IGF1/IGFBP3 molar ratio in addition to PSA and one-nucleotide polymorphism in PSA and CYP17 gene might contribute to early diagnostics of prostate cancer (PCa). Serum level of PSA, IGF1 and IGFBP3 in the group of 158 individuals (92 PCa and 66 controls) was examined by RIA method and IGF1/IGFBP3 was calculated. PCR RLFP method was us...
BACKGROUND Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a serine protease that can cleave insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP3), thereby decreasing its affinity for insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Dissociation of the IGF-I-IGFBP3 complex renders IGF-I available to bind to its receptor and stimulates cellular proliferation. We evaluated the potential for PSA to modulate the effects o...
The nuclear receptor vitamin D receptor (VDR) is known to associate with two vitamin D response element (VDRE) containing chromatin regions of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) gene. In non-malignant MCF-10A human mammary cells, we show that the natural VDR ligand 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1α,25(OH)(2)D(3)) causes cyclical IGFBP3 mRNA accumulation with a periodicity o...
Gene transcription can be regulated by remote enhancer regions through chromosome looping either in cis or in trans. Cancer cells are characterized by wholesale changes in long-range gene interactions, but the role that these long-range interactions play in cancer progression and metastasis is not well understood. In this study, we used IGFBP3, a gene involved in breast cancer pathogenesis, as ...
BACKGROUND Scarring of the liver is the result of prolonged exposure to exogenous or endogenous stimuli. At the onset of fibrosis, quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activate and transdifferentiate into matrix producing, myofibroblast-like cells. AIM AND METHODS To identify key players during early HSC activation, gene expression profiling was performed on primary mouse HSCs cultured for...
OBJECTIVE IGF1 and its most abundant binding protein, IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), have been implicated in fibrotic lung diseases and persistent acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to profibrogenic and antiapoptotic activity. Whether circulating levels of IGF1 and IGFBP3 are altered in ARDS and whether they predict progression of and survival from ARDS remains unknown. This study ...
این تحقیق با هدف بررسی چندشکلی ژن igfbp3 در گوسفند کرمانی با روش pcr-sscp انجام شد. در این پژوهش 90 راس گوسفند کرمانی به طور تصادفی مورد خون گیری قرار گرفتند. خون گیری با ونوجکت های edta دار انجام شد. استخراج dna از خون بوسیله کیت استاندارد صورت گرفت. سپس واکنش زنجیره ای پلی مراز (pcr) برای تکثیر قطعه 654 جفت بازی ژن igfbp3 انجام شد. برای تعیین چندشکلی نمونه ها، الکتروفورز محصولات pcr پس از تک ...
