A mammary epithelial cell line (MAC-T) established as a model for lactation was utilized to identify and characterize effects of various hormones upon insulin-like growth factor binding protein secretion. Ligand and immunoblot analyses of conditioned media indicated that insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 was secreted by MAC-T cells. Insulin-like growth factor-I stimulated insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 secretion in a dose-dependent manner, but prolactin and bovine somatotropin did not alter insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 secretion. Insulin increased and cortisol decreased insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 secretion. Effects of insulin-like growth factor-I on insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 secretion support previous studies using primary cultures of bovine mammary cells and bovine fibroblasts. Effects of cortisol and insulin on insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 secretion may be explained by changes in protein synthesis. In addition, supraphysiological doses of insulin can cross-react with the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor and stimulate insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 secretion. MAC-T cells provide a model system to study mechanisms that regulate local insulin-like growth factor-I bioactivity.

The insulin like growth factors(IGFs) are bound to several binding proteins(IGFBPs) that appear to regulate IGF transfort, receptor binding, and its action. The concentrations of these peptides are regulated by quantity and nutritional quality of dietary proteins. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two diets, which differed in their protein source, Carassius carassius(CC), Carassius carassius hot water extract(CCHE), for 4 weeks. Body weight was significantly increased in the CC group(74.14$\pm$12.00 to 266.31$\pm$36.62g; p<0.01). Likewise, IGF I concentration of CC group(101.76$\pm$15.90 ng/ml) was significantly higher than that of CCHE group(38.50$\pm$ 11.20ng/ml; p<0.05). By western immunoblot analysis, especially IGFBP 1, 2 levels are increased, whereas IGFBP 3 level was de creased in CCHE group. After extraction of browning material from each samples, the extractive was filtered and absorbance at 420nm was measured. The absorbance of CCHE group was significantly higher than that of CC group. These results suggest that IGF I can be employed as an index of protein metabolism, particulary as a simple index in the assessing the status of protein nutrition.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) play a pivotal role in regulating cellular hypoxic response. In this study, we cloned and characterized the genes encoding IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 to improve the current knowledge on their roles in highland Bos grunniens (Yak). We also compared their expression levels in the liver and kidney tissues between yaks and lowland cattle. We obtained full-length 465 bp IGF-1 and 792 bp IGFBP-1, encoding 154 amino acids (AA) IGF-1, and 263 AA IGFBP-1 protein, respectively using reverse transcriptase-polyerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology. Analysis of their corresponding amino acid sequences showed a high identity between B. grunniens and lowland mammals. Moreover, the two genes were proved to be widely distributed in the examined tissues through expression pattern analysis. Real-time PCR results revealed that IGF-1 expression was higher in the liver and kidney tissues in B. grunniens than in Bos taurus (p<0.05). The IGFBP-1 gene was expressed at a higher level in the liver (p<0.05) of B. taurus than B. grunniens, but it has a similar expression level in the kidneys of the two species. These results indicated that upregulated IGF-1 and downregulated IGFBP-1 are associated with hypoxia adaptive response in B. grunniens.

골감소증 환자의 혈청중에 존재하는 IGFBP-5의 존재와 변화를 검토한 결과, 골감소즈 환자에서는 정상 대조군에 비해 IGFBP-5가 감소하였는데 이 변화는 IGFBP-5의 분해효소가 작용하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. IGFBP-5에 작용하는 단백질분해효소 저해제중 metallo계인 EDTA 및 1,10-phenanthroline과 seriner계인 aprotinin, heparin, heparin cofactor 2(HC2), heparine+HC2가 IGFBP-5에 대해 저해효과가 크므로 metalloprotease이면서 serine protease의 성질을 가지는 효소들이 IGFBP-5에 작용하였다. IGF-I과 IGF-II 그리고 insulin은 효소 활성에 아무런 영향이 없었다. IGFBP-5의 zymography에서 정상인과 골감소증 환제어서 180 kDa 크기의 band가 나타났고, gelatin zymography에서 정상 대조군의 경우 66 kDa과 97 kDa 정도의 band가 확인되었고 골감소증 환자의 경우는 69 kDa의 band가 확인되었다.

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 and four site-specific mutants that had altering N-terminal regions of IGFBP3. ALS and IGFBP3 mRNAs were co-injected into Xenopus oocytes, and their products were cross-linked and immunoprecipitated using antisera against ALS or IGFBP3. Among the deletion mutants, the mutant of D40 (deleted in 11-40th amino acids) exerted no effect in the interaction with ALS, while D60 (${\Delta}11$-60) demonstrated a moderate reduction. D88 (${\Delta}11$-88), however, showed a significant decrease. In the case of site-specific mutants, the mutation that alterated the IGF binding site (codons 56 or 80) exerted a significant reduction in the interaction, whereas codons 72 or 87 showed no significant change in the interaction with ALS. The stability of the ALS-IGFBP3 interaction was analyzed according to a time-dependent mode. Consistent with the binding study, mutants on the IGF binding sites (56 or 80) consistently show a weakness in the ALS-IGFBP3 interaction when compared to the mutants that covered the non-IGF binding sites (72 or 87). This study suggests that the N-terminal of IGFBP3, especially the IGF binding site, plays an important role in interacting with ALS as well as in stabilizing the dual complex, independent of IGFs.

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), along with IGF-binding protein and IGF receptor, are well-known regulators in the growth and survival of vertebrates. In this study, we investigated the involvement of IGFs and protein variation during embryonic development of the olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Morphological stages were divided into six main developments as blastula, gastrula, cephalization, cranial regionalization, tail lift, and hatch. During embryonic development, protein variation was investigated using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry. In addition, the mechanism of signaling of IGF-I receptor was examined using immuno-blot analysis. We found marked changes in protein expression at four stages of embryonic development and identified proteins as belonging to the vitellogenin 2 family. As development progresses, expression of IGF-II, phosphotyrosine, and phospho-Akt increased, while expression of growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) and one of guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (Ras) decreased. These results provide basic information on the IGF system in the embryonic development of the olive flounder.

Insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I)은 성장호르몬의 여러 가지 성정촉진 작용을 매개하는 분열 유발성 폴리펩티드이며, 조직의 수선과 재생, 창상치유 및 골대사와 같은 과정들에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있고, 비교적 여러 조직에서 발현되고 있는 IGF-I 유전자의 전사조절에 대한 정확한 분자적 기전과 호르몬 및 대사 상태가 그것을 어떻게 조절하는지 아직 밝혀져 있지 않다. 쥐를 절삭시키므로써 대사 상태를 변조시켰을 때, 간 조직내 IGF-I mRNA의 발현에 미치는 절식의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 solution hybridizatioon/RNase protection 방법으로 분석 하였다. IGF-I의 exon 1 및 exon 2에 의하여 encode된 tran-scripts 모두가 감소된 결과를 얻었고, 이러한 감소는 전사 수준에서 일어난 것으로 nuclear run-on 분석에 의하여 확인하였다. 또한 절식시킨 쥐에서 IGF-I mRNA의 양을 조절하는 cia-acting elements를 IGF-I 유전자의 5'-flanking 지역과 exon 1과 econ 2에서 밝히고자 절식시킨 쥐의 신선한 간조직에서 핵 추출물을 얻어 IGF-I의 여러 가지 DNA fragments와 반응시켜 DNase I protection 분석을 한 결과, IGF-I 유전자의 주요한 전사 개 시점으로부터 downstream에 있는 sequences가 절식으로 변조시킨 대사상태에서 IGF-I의 발현 조절에 중요하며 이곳에는 전사인자인 C/EBP family의 isoform들을 포함한 간조직에 풍부하게 존재하는 여러 전사인자들이 결합할 것으로 제안하였다.

자궁내막이 생체내 insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1(IGFBP-1)의 혈중치를 유지하는데 얼마나 관여하는지를 평가해 보았다. Immunoreactive IGFBP-1의 혈중치의 측정을 위하여, 월경과다를 주소로 내원한 19명의 환자를 대상으로, gynecologic resectoscopy로 자궁내막 박리를 시행하였다. 자궁내막 박리를 시행한 환자의 혈중 IGFBP-1의 평균치는, 시행전과 비교할 때 감소된 소견을 보였으며, 월경주기와는 상관관계가 없었다. 이러한 소견으로 보아, 자궁내막이 혈중 IGFBP-1의 생성원의 하나로 사료되었다.

The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), their receptors, and their binding proteins play key roles in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP3, OMIM #146732) is one of the proteins that bind to the IGFs. IGFBP3 is a modulator of IGF bioactivity, and direct growth inhibitor in the extravascular tissue compartment. We identified twenty-two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IGFBP3 gene in Korean cattle (Hanwoo, Bos taurus coreanae) by direct sequencing of full gene including -1,500 bp promoter region. Among the identified SNPs, five common SNPs were screened in 650 Korean cattle; one SNP in promoter (IGFBP3 G-854C), one in 5'UTR region (IGFBP3 G-100A), two in intron 1 (IGFBP3 G+421T, IGFBP3 T+1636A), and one in intron 2 (IGFBP3 C+3863A). The frequencies of each SNP were 0.357 (IGFBP3 G-854C), 0.472 (IGFBP3 G-100A), 0.418 (IGFBP3 G+421T), 0.363 (IGFBP3 T+1636A) and 0.226 (IGFBP3 C+3863A), respectively. Haplotypes and their frequencies were estimated by EM algorithm. Six haplotypes were constructed with five SNPs and linkage disequilibrium coefficients (|D'|) between SNP pairs were also calculated. The information on SNPs and haplotypes in IGFBP3 gene could be useful for genetic studies of this gene.
