In order to elucidate the physiological function of circulating IGF-I on muscle protein synthesis in the chicken under malnutritional conditions, we administrated recombinant chicken IGF-I using a osmotic mini pump to fasted young chickens and measured the rate of muscle protein synthesis and plasma metabolite. The pumps delivered IGF-I at the rate of $22{\mu}g/d\{300{\mu}g{\cdot}(kg\;body\;weight{\cdot}d)^{-1}\}$. Fractional rate of protein synthesis in the muscle was measured using a large dose injection of L-[$2,6-^3H$]phenylalanine. Constant infusion of chicken IGF-I did not affect plasma glucose level. Significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion was observed in plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. When chicks were fasted, IGF-I infusion decreased plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. On the other hand, IGF-I administration did not affect plasma levels of both metabolites. Fasting reduced plasma triglyceride concentration significantly. IGF-I infusion also decreased the level of plasma triglyceride. Plasma IGF-I concentration of young chickens was halved by fasting for 1 d. IGF-I infusion using an osmotic minipump for 1 d increased plasma IGF-I concentration in fasted chicks to the level of fed chicks. Fasting decreased body weight and the loss of body weight was significantly ameliorated by IGF-I infusion. There was a significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion in the fractional rate of breast muscle protein synthesis. There was no effect of IGF-I infusion on muscle protein synthesis in fed chicks. Muscle protein synthesis reduced by fasting was ameliorated by IGF-I infusion, but did not reach to the level of fed control. Muscle weight of fasted chicks infused with IGF-I was similar to fasted birds without IGF-I infusion, which suggests that muscle protein degradation would be increased by IGF-I infusion as well as protein synthesis in fasted chicks.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) appears to be an important modular of the insulin growth factor (IGF) bioactivity in metabolic disease and chronic hypoxia. Treatment of desferrioxamine (Dfo), cobalt, or nickel in HepG2 cells stimulated the expression of IGFBP1 mRNA as hypoxia. However, the presence of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) in the 1% $O_2$ decreased the upregulation of the IGFBP-1 mRNA expression. In addition, actinomycin D and cycloheximide abolished the increase in the expression of IGFBP-1 mRNA that was induced by Dfo and transition metals (cobalt and nickel). To obtain further information about the putative oxygen sensor, we postulate that putative heme proteins, responsible for the oxygen-sensing process in HepG2 cells, should be sensitive to hypoada. The mechanism of these upregulations of the IGFBP-1 mRNA expression by Dfo and transition metals was investigated by treatment with 2 mM of 4,6-dioxoheptanoic acid (DHA), an inhibitor of heme biosynthesis. The results showed that 1% $O_2$-, Dfo-, cobalt-, or nickel induced IGFBP-1 mRNA expressions in HepG2 cells were all markedly inhibited when the heme synthesis was blocked by DHA. We suggest that the IGFBP-1 mRNA expression in the HepG2 cell is regulated by 1% $O_2$, Dfo, cobalt, or nickel, implicating the involvement of the putative heme-containing oxygensensing molecule.

A series of antagonists specifically targeting growth hormone receptors (GHR) in different species, such as humans, rats, bovines, and mice, have been designed; however, there are currently no antagonists that target the porcine growth hormone (GH). Therefore, in this study, we developed and characterized a porcine GHR (pGHR) antibody antagonist (denoted by AN98) via the hybridoma technique. The results from enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, fluorescence activated cell sorter, indirect immunoinfluscent assay, and competitive receptor binding analysis showed that AN98 could specifically recognize pGHR, and further experiments indicated that AN98 could effectively inhibit pGH-induced signalling in CHO-pGHR cells and porcine hepatocytes. In addition, AN98 also inhibited GH-induced insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) secretion in porcine hepatocytes. In summary, these findings indicated that AN98, as a pGHR-specific antagonist, has potential applications in pGH-pGHR-related research on domestic pigs.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of IGF-I for DNA synthetic activity and the mRNA expression of bone matrix protein, type I collagen and osteopontin in prolifetation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. To evaluate DNA synthetic activity, cells were seeded at $2{\times}10^4cells/ml$ in 24 well plates and to evaluate mRNA of type I collagen and osteopontin cells were seeded at $5{\times}10^5cells/ml$ in 100mm culture dishes. These cells were cultured in alpha-minimum essential medium(${\alpha}-MEM$) containing 10% fetal bovine serum at $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. For DNA synthetic activity test 1, 10, 100ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells which had been cultured for 3 days before 24 hours. For type I collagen mRNA expression 1, 10ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells which had been cultured for 5, 10 days and for osteopontin mRNA expression 0.1, 1, 10ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells which had been cultured for 5, 15, 20 days. Cell proliferaton was measured by the incorporation of [$^3H$]-thymidine into DNA and expression for type I collagen and osteopontin were measured by northern blot analysis. The results were as follows : DNA synthetic activity were generally higher in experimental group than control group. Expressions of type I collagen mRNA were higher at 5 day group and much lower at 10 day group in the control groups. In the experimental groups, mRNA expressions were slightly increased when 1 ng/ml IGF-I were added to 5 day group and decreased in all experimental 10 day groups. Expressions of osteopontin mRNA were higher at 20 day groups and lower at 15 day groups than the control groups. In the experimental groups, mRNA expressions were incereased when 0.1, 1 ng/ml IGF-I were added to 5 day group and in all the 15 day groups, but decreased when 0.1, 1, 10 ng/ml IGF-I were added to 20 day groups. IGF-I stimulated DNA synthetic activity of MC3T3-E1 cells during proliferation stage significantly, did not greatly changed effects on type I collagen mRNA expression and stimulated osteopontin mRNA expression at 15 day especially. In conclusion, we suggests that IGF-I have a tendency of stimulation effect of DNA synthetic activity but do not stimulate type I collagen mRNA in proliferation stage of MC3T3-E1 cell cultures, and stimulate osteopontin mRNA in differentiation stage of MC3T3-E1 cell cultures.

이온운반계는 생체의 각기 다른 세포의 성장을 조절하는 성장조절인자들의 효과를 매개하는데 깊은 관련이 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 신장 근위세뇨관에서 솔변 연 $Na^+/H^+$ 상호운반계는 사구체에서 여과된 나트륨의 재흡수와 수소이온의 분비를 조절하는 중요한 기능을 수행한다. 이 연구는 초대배양된 신장 근위세뇨관세포의 나트륨 운반을 Insulin-like Growth Factor-I(IGF-I)이 어떤 경로를 통하여 조절하는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 초대배양된 신장 근위세뇨관세포에서 $Na^+$ uptake는 시간의존적으로 증가되었으며, 30분동안 $Na^+$ uptake를 실시한 결과 세포외 NaCl 농도의존적으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성있게 감소시켰다(대조군; $40.11{\pm}1.76$, 140mM군; $17.82{\pm}0.94pmole\;Na^+/mg\;protein/min$). 2. $Na^+$ uptake는 iodoacetic acid(IAA, $1{\times}10^{-4}M$) 또는 valinomycin($5{\times}10^{-6}M$)처리시 대조군에 비해 각각 $50.51{\pm}4.4%$와 $57.65{\pm}2.27%$ 억제되었으며, ouabain($5{\times}10^{-5}M$)을 처리한 경우는 $140.23{\pm}3.37%$ 증가되었다. IGF-I($1{\times}10^{-5}M$)으로 배양한 세포를 actinomycin D($1{\times}10^{-7}M$)와 cycloheximide($4{\times}10^{-5}M$)로 처리시 $Na^+$ uptake는 대조군에 비해 각각 $90.21{\pm}2.39%$와 $89.64{\pm}3.69%$로 감소되었다. 3. IGF-I으로 배양한 세포에서 세포외 cAMP는 농도의존적($10^{-8}-10^{-4}M$)으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성있게 감소시켰고, 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine(IBMX, $5{\times}10^{-5}M$)도 억제시켰다. Pertussis toxin(PTX, 50pg/ml)이나 cholera toxin(CTX, $1{\mu}g/ml$)의 처리시에도 $Na^+$ uptake는 억제되었다. 세포외 phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate(PMA) 또한 농도의존적(1-100ng/ml)으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 감소시켰다. 그러나 staurosporine($1{\times}10^{-7}M$)은 $Na^+$ uptake에 영향을 미치지 않았으며 PMA와 stauiosporine을 동시에 처리했을 때도 $Na^+$ uptake는 억제되지 않았다. 결론적으로 초대배양된 토끼 신장 근위세뇨관세포에서 $Na^+$ uptake는 막전위와 세포내 에너지 의존적이며 IGF-I은 부분적으로 단백질 및 RNA 합성을 통해서 그리고 세포내 cAMP나 PKC 경로를 통해서 $Na^+$ uptake를 조절하는 것으로 생각된다.

The aim of this study was to analyze the proteome expressions of proliferating stromal vascular cells from Hanwoo omental, subcutaneous and intramuscular depots subjected to hormone deprivation and IGF-1, Estradiol-$17{\beta}$ addition. For hormone deprivation or addition studies, the cells were either grown in 10% charcoal-dextran stripped fetal bovine serum (CD-FBS) or in 10% FBS supplemented medium. Further, to analyze the effect of insulin like growth factor (IGF-1) and $17\beta$-Estradiol (E2), cells were grown in 10% CD-FBS containing IGF-1 (10 ng/ml) or E2 (10 nM). The results showed that hormone deprivation had a negative impact on proliferation among the cells from all depots without any growth difference. On comparison of proliferation levels, higher levels were observed in cells that were grown in 10% FBS than in 10% CD-FBS alone or with IGF-1/E2. Proteome expression from preadipocytes grown in hormone deprivation conditions were compared by 2D-DIGE and MALDIToF/ToF. A total of twelve different proteins were found to be differentially expressed under hormone deprivation conditions. Further, our proteomic analysis with DIGE under IGF-1 and E2 addition revealed four proteins with differential expression levels. Moreover, the results highlighted in this study offer a role for each differentially expressed protein with respect to their effect in positive or negative regulation on proliferation.

Carcass weight and backfat thickness are two of important elements in determining the carcass trait in pigs and are studied on animal genetics, nutrition, and endocrinology. Growth factors stimulate or inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of various cells. In particular, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), transforming growth factor (TGF)-$\beta$, and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are involved in the growth and maintenance of muscle. Also, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) and cortisol are known to be related to the obesity and subcutaneous fat depth in pigs. Therefore, this study was performed to relate growth factors (IGFs, TGF-${\beta}1$, and EGF) and hormones (cortisol and DHEA-S) concentrations at antemortem and postmortem periods to carcass traits including carcass weight and backfat thickness. Blood and m. Longissimus were collected in pigs at antemortem (30 days before slaughter) and postmortem periods. After slaughtered, carcass weight and backfat thickness were measured. Growth factors and hormones in serum and m. Longissimus were measured by radioimmunoassay or enzyme-linked imuunosorbent assay. Before antemortem period, serum IGF-I and -II concentrations were positively correlated with the carcass weight and backfat thickness in gilts, and the concentrations of TGF- ${\beta}1$ and cortisol in barrows show the correlation with only carcass weight. Also, the positive correlations of muscular IGFs and TGF-${\beta}1$ at postmortem 45 min with the carcass weight and backfat thickness were detected. Consequently, these results suggest that the serum and muscular endocrine factors are involved in the carcass weight and backfat thickness in pigs.

연구배경: 본 연구는 진폐증의 폐섬유화에 관여하는 사이토카인 중 PDGF-BB와 IGF-1의 혈청내 농도를 측정 비교함으로서 폐섬유화 관정에서의 역할을 간접적으로 확인하고 진폐증 진단의 생화학적 지표자로서 의미가 있는지 알아보고자, 충주의료원과 연세대학교 원주의과대학 원주기독병원에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 정상대조군과 단순형 석탄광부 진폐증군, 복잡형 석탄광부 진폐증군으로 나누어 혈청내 PDGF-BB와 IGF-1 농도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 방 법: 직업력과 방사선학적 소견으로 석탄광부 진폐증으로 진단된 환자중 단순형 석탄광부 진폐증 13예와 복잡형 석탄광부 진폐증 17예, 정상 대조군 10명을 대상으로 하였다. Human PDGF-BB immunoassay kit (R&D system, Minneapolis, MN)와 Human IGF-1 immunoassay kit (R&D system, Minneapolis, MN)를 이용하여 각 대상의 혈청내 PDGF-BB와 IGF-1의 농도를 측정하였다. 결 과: 1. 복잡형 석탄광부 진폐증군에서의 혈청 PDGF-BB 농도($10083.76{\pm}5639.07pg/mL$)가 정상 대조군 ($3726.17{\pm}1292.20pg/mL$)이나 단순형 석탄광부 진폐증($8493.88{\pm}5848.51pg/mL$)에 비해 통계학적으로 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 2. 정상대조군 ($413.40{\pm}61.94ng/mL$)과 단순형 석탄광부 진폐증($366.77{\pm}183.67ng/mL$), 복잡성 석탄광부 진폐증($403.40{\pm}115.39ng/mL$)의 혈청 IGF-1 농도는 각 군간 통계학적 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다(P>0.05). 3. 작업년수에 따른 혈청 PDGF-BB와 IGF-1의농도는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 결 론: 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 석탄광부 진폐증군에서 혈청내 PDGF-BB 농도의 증가는 폐섬유화 진행을 나타내는 생화학적 지표로서의 의미를 갖는 것으로 생각된다.

A randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical study was used to determine the cognitive functions related to working memory (WM) and antioxidant properties of fermented Laminaria japonica (FLJ) on healthy volunteers. Eighty participants were divided into a placebo group (n = 40) and FLJ group (n = 40) that received FLJ (1.5 g/day) for 6 weeks. Memory-related blood indices (brain-derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF; angiotensin-converting enzyme; human growth hormone, HGH; insulin-like growth factor-1, IGF-1) and antioxidant function-related indices (catalase, CAT; malondialdehyde, MDA; 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-oxo-dG; thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) were determined before and after the trial. In addition, standardized cognitive tests were conducted using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Batteries. Furthermore, the Korean Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (K-WAIS)-IV, and the Korean version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-K) were used to assess the pre and post intake changes on WM-related properties. According to the results, FLJ significantly increased the level of CAT, BDNF, HGH, and IGF-1. FLJ reduced the level of TBARS, MDA, and 8-oxo-dG in serum. Furthermore, FLJ improved physical activities related to cognitive functions such as K-WAIS-IV, MoCA-K, Paired Associates Learning, and Spatial Working Memory compared to the placebo group. Our results suggest that FLJ is a potential candidate to develop functional materials reflecting its capability to induce antioxidant mechanisms together with WM-related indices.
