Human growth hormone (GH), a single-chain peptide of 191 amino acids, was isolated from somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland in 1956 and first used therapeutically for treatment of pituitary dwarfism in 1958 (Raben, 1958). Pituitary dwarfism is the classic form of growth hormone deficiency during childhood. Gigantism refers to any standing height more than 2 standard deviations abo...
An articulated endoskeleton that is calcified is a unifying innovation of the vertebrates, however the molecular basis of the structural divergence between terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates, such as teleost fish, has not been determined. In the present study long-read next generation sequencing (NGS, Roche 454 platform) was used to characterize acellular perichondral bone (vertebrae) and chon...
A short review of the literature first confirms the clinical value of cathepsin D as a prognostic marker in breast cancer, when using well standardized assays. We then summarize results of studies, mostly performed in our laboratory, aimed at understanding the effect of cathepsin D overexpression on metastasis and the molecular mechanisms involved. Cathepsin D-cDNA transfection increases tumor ...
The early growth response 1 (Egr1) gene is a transcription factor that acts as both a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter. Egr1-null mouse embryo fibroblasts bypass replicative senescence and exhibit a loss of DNA damage response and an apparent immortal growth, suggesting loss of p53 functions. Stringent expression analysis revealed 266 transcripts with >2-fold differential expression in Egr...
Present study was planned to clarify the effects of GH and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on testosterone secretion using premature male rats. Forty rats were divided four groups. GH, IGF-I, both of them or normal saline solution as control were subcutaneously administered to the rats of each group for seven days from 3-week to 4-week of age. After the treatment, six of each group were us...
Physical fitness is a trait determined by multiple genes, and its genetic basis is modified by numerous environmental factors. The present study examines the effects of the (CA)n tandem repeats polymorphism in IGFI gene and SNP Alw21I restriction site -202 A>C polymorphism in IGF1BP3 on VO2max--a physiological index of aerobic capacity of high heritability. The study sample consisted of 239 (15...
Protein undernutrition is known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporotic fracture in elderly. The mechanisms underlying the bone loss in protein undernutrition appeared to be related to an uncoupling between increased bone resorption and bone formation. This was associated with decreased plasma IGF-I levels, with anoestrus and decreased muscle mass. Reversibility of protein...
Physiological angiogenesis is essential for development, homeostasis and tissue repair but pathological neovascularization is a major feature of tumours, rheumatoid arthritis and ocular complications. Studies over the last decade have identified -secretase, a presenilin-dependent protease, as a key regulator of angiogenesis through: (i ) regulated intramembrane proteolysis and transmembrane cle...
Infertility among women has become a growing issue in the world requiring a significant number of women to seek treatment by means of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). One suggested reason for the fertility issue is modern diet, leading to diseases such as obesity and type II diabetes. In this study, twenty gilts three weeks in age, were placed on one of five dietary treatments (n=4 gil...
