A candidate targeting molecule of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ receptor for gastrointestinal cancers

Advances in molecular research in cancer have brought new therapeutic strategies into clinical usage.One new group of targets is tyrosine kinase receptors,which can be treated by several strategies,including small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies(mAbs).Aberrant activation of growth factors/receptors and their signal pathways are required for malignant transformation and progression in gastrointestinal(GI) carcinomas.The concept of targeting specif ic carcinogenic receptors has been validated by successful clinical application of many new drugs.Type I insulin-like growth factor(IGF) receptor(IGF-IR) signaling potently stimulates tumor progression and cellular differentiation,and is a promising new molecular target in human malignancies.In this review,we focus on this promising therapeutic target,IGF-IR.The IGF/IGF-IR axis is an important modifier of tumor cell proliferation,survival,growth,and treatment sensitivity in many malignant diseases,including human GI cancers.Preclinical studies demonstrated that downregulation of IGF-IR signals reversed the neoplastic phenotype and sensitized cells to anticancer treatments.These results were mainly obtained through our strategy of adenoviruses expressing dominant negative IGF-IR(IGF-IR/dn) against gastrointestinal cancers,including esophagus,stomach,colon,and pancreas.We also summarize a variety of strategies to interrupt the IGFs/IGF-IR axis and their preclinical experiences.Several mAbs and TKIs targeting IGF-IR have entered clinical trials,and early results have suggested that these agents have generally acceptable safety profiles as single agents.We summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy and discuss the merits/demerits of dual targeting of IGF-IR and other growth factor receptors,including Her2 and the insulin receptor,as well as other alternatives and possible drug combinations.Thus,IGF-IR might be a candidate for a molecular therapeutic target in human GI carcinomas.

Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor in proliferation and motility of pancreatic cancer

AIM:To develop a molecular therapy for pancreatic cancer, the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) signaling pathway was analyzed.METHODS: Pancreatic cancer cell lines (MIA-Paca2, NOR-P1, PANC-1, PK-45H, PK-1, PK-59 and KP-4) were cultured in media with 10 mL/L fetal bovine serum. Western blotting analysis was performed to clarify the expression of IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR). Picropodophyllin (PPP), a specific inhibitor of IGF-IR, LY294002, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol3 kinase (PI3K), and PD98059, a specific inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase, were added to the media. After 72 h, a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium inner salt (MTS) assay was performed to analyze cell proliferation. A wound assay was performed to analyze cell motility with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining 48 h after addition of each inhibitor. RESULTS: All cell lines clearly expressed not only IGF-IR but also phosphorylated IGF-IR. PPP significantly suppressed proliferation of MIA-Paca2, NOR-P1, PANC-1, PK-45H, PK-1, PK-59 and KP-4 cells to 36.9% ± 2.4% (mean ± SD), 30.9% ± 5.5%, 23.8% ± 3.9%, 37.1% ± 5.3%, 10.4% ± 4.5%, 52.5% ± 4.5% and 22.6% ± 0.4%, at 2 μmol/L, respectively (P < 0.05). LY294002 significantly suppressed proliferation of MIA-Paca2, NOR-P1, PANC-1, PK-45H, PK-1, PK-59 and KP-4 cells to 44.4% ± 7.6%, 32.9% ± 8.2%, 53.9% ± 8.0%, 52.8% ± 4.0%, 32.3% ± 4.2%, 51.8% ± 4.5%, and 30.6% ± 9.4%, at 50 μmol/L, respectively (P < 0.05). PD98059 did not significantly suppress cell proliferation. PPP at 2 μmol/L suppressed motility of MIA-Paca2, NOR-P1, PANC-1, PK-45H, PK-1, PK-59 and KP-4 cells to 3.0% ± 0.2%, 0%, 0%, 2.0% ± 0.1%, 5.0% ± 0.2%, 3.0% ± 0.1%, and 5.0% ± 0.2%, respectively (P < 0.05). LY294002 at 50 μmol/L suppressed motility of MIA-Paca2, NOR-P1, PANC-1, PK-45H, PK-1, PK-59 and KP-4 to 3.0% ± 0.2%, 0%, 3.0% ± 0.2%, 0%, 0%, 0% and 3% ± 0.1%, respectively (P < 0.05). PD980509 at 20 μmol/L did not suppress motility. Cells were observed by microscopy to analyze the morphological changes induced by the inhibitors. Cells in medium treated with 2 μmol/L PPP or 50 μmol/L LY294002 had pyknotic nuclei, whereas those in medium with 20 μmol/L PD98059 did not show apoptosis.CONCLUSION: IGF-IR and PI3K are good candidates for molecular therapy of pancreatic cancer.

DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF SERUM INSULIN- LIKE GROWTH FACTOR BINDING PROTEIN- 3 IN CHILDREN WITH OR WITHOUT GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY

OBJECTIVE: To study the value of serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels in differential diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD). METHODS: To measure serum IGFBP-3 levels by RIA in normal children and adolescents, GHD children and short-stature children without GHD. RESULTS: Serum level of IGFBP-3 in 129 children with untreated GHD and with no pubertal development was 1.6 +/- 0.9 mg/L, which was less than that in normal group of the same age, but overlapped with the normal children in Tanner stage I. After six-month treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), serum level of IGFBP-3 in 59 GHD significantly increased from 1.3 +/- 0.7 mg/L to 2.7 +/- 0.9 mg/L, accompanied by an increase of body heights, growth velocities and serum level of IGF-1. Serum level of IGFBP-3 in 55 short-stature children without GHD was 3.3 +/- 2.2 mg/L, which was not significantly different from that in normal group. CONCLUSION: Serum IGFBP-3 level can reflect the status of GH secretion in children with GHD and is a useful marker for differential diagnosis of GHD.

Insulin-like Growth Factor-Ⅰ Gene Cloning and Protein Expression in Bovine Trabecular Meshwork Tissue and Cells

Whether cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells and trabecular tissue ex vivo express insulin like growth factor I (IGF Ⅰ) messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein was investigated. Total RNA of cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells as well as trabecular meshwork tissue freshly excised from bovine eyes was extracted, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) was used to detect IGF Ⅰ mRNA. RT PCR product was verified by sequencing. Immunohistochemical stain was used to detect IGF Ⅰ protein. The results showed that a single PCR amplified product was obtained, and the sequence was homologous to the known sequence.. IGF Ⅰ immunostain was positive in the cytoplasm of trabecular meshwork cells. It was concluded that trabecular meshwork cells produce IGF Ⅰ and contribute to the presence of IGF Ⅰ in trabecular meshwork microenvironment as well as aqueous humor. Trabecular meshwork cells were affected by IGF Ⅰ not only through paracrine, but also autocrine action. Whether abnormal down regulations in IGF Ⅰ production may contribute to the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma and the possibility of promoting the autocrine action of IGF Ⅰ by trabecular meshwork cells to treat the diesease is worth further investigation.

Modified insulin-like growth factor 1 containing collagen-binding domain for nerve regeneration

Insulin-like growth factor 1 （IGF-I） is a potential nutrient for nerve repair. However, it is impractical as a therapy because of its limited half- life, rapid clearance, and limited target specificity. To achieve targeted and long-lasting treatment, we investigated the addition of a binding structure by fusing a collagen-binding domain to IGF- 1. After confirming its affinity for collagen, the biological activity of this construct was examined by measuring cell proliferation after transfection into PC12 and Schwann cells using a 3-（4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl）-2,5-di- phenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay. Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to detect neurofilament and microtubule-associated protein 2 expression, while real time-polymerase chain reaction was utilized to determine IGF-1 receptor and nerve growth/actor mRNA expression. Our results demonstrate a significant increase in collagen-binding activity of the recombinant protein compared with IGF-1. Moreover, the recombinant protein promoted proliferation of PC12 and Schwann cells, and increased the expression of neurofilament and microtubule-associated protein 2. Importantly, the recombinant protein also stimulated sustained expression of IGF-1 receptor and nerve growth factor mRNA for days. These results show that the recombinant protein achieved the goal of targeting and long-lasting treatment, and thus could become a clinically used factor for promoting nerve regeneration with a prolonged therapeutic effect.

On implications of somatostatin in diabetic retinopathy

Somatostatin,a naturally produced neuroprotective peptide,depresses excitatory neurotransmission and exerts anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects on the retina.In this review,we summarize the progress of somatostatin treatment of diabetic retinopathy through analysis of relevant studies published from February 2019 to February 2023 extracted from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases.Insufficient neuroprotection,which occurs as a consequence of declined expression or dysregulation of retinal somatostatin in the very early stages of diabetic retinopathy,triggers retinal neurovascular unit impairment and microvascular damage.Somatostatin replacement is a promising treatment for retinal neurodegeneration in diabetic retinopathy.Numerous pre-clinical and clinical trials of somatostatin analog treatment for early diabetic retinopathy have been initiated.In one such trial(EUROCONDOR),topical administration of somatostatin was found to exert neuroprotective effects in patients with pre-existing retinal neurodysfunction,but had no impact on the onset of diabetic retinopathy.Overall,we concluded that somatostatin restoration may be especially beneficial for the growing population of patients with early-stage retinopathy.In order to achieve early prevention of diabetic retinopathy initiation,and thereby salvage visual function before the appearance of moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy,several issues need to be addressed.These include the needs to:a)update and standardize the retinal screening scheme to incorporate the detection of early neurodegeneration,b)identify patient subgroups who would benefit from somatostatin analog supplementation,c)elucidate the interactions of somatostatin,particularly exogenously-delivered somatostatin analogs,with other retinal peptides in the context of hyperglycemia,and d)design safe,feasible,low cost,and effective administration routes.

Effect of growth hormone on small intestinal homeostasis relation to cellular mediators IGF-I and IGFBP-3

AIM:To evaluate the effects of growth hormone(GH) on the histology of small intestines which might be related to the role of insulin like growth factor(IGF)-I, IGF-binding protein 3(IGFBP-3)and its receptors. METHODS:Twelve week-old adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into two groups.The study group(n =10),received recombinant human growth hormone (rGH)at a dose of 2 mg/kg per day subcutaneously for 14 d and the control group(n=10)received physiologic serum.Paraffin sections of jejunum were stained with periodic acid shift(PAS)and hematoxylin and eosin(HE) for light microscopy.They were also examined for IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and IGF-receptor immunoreactivities.Staining intensity was graded semi-quantitatively using the HS- CORE. RESULTS:Goblet cells and the cells in crypt epitheliawere significantly increased in the study group compared to that of the control group.We have demonstrated an increase of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 immunoreactivities in surface epithelium of the small intestine by GH application.IGF-I receptor immunoreactivities of crypt,villous columnar cells,enteroendocrine cells and muscularis mucosae were also more strongly positive in the study group compared to those of in the control group. CONCLUSION:These findings confirm the important trophic and protective role of GH in the homeostasis of the small intestine.The trophic effect is mediated by an increase in IGF-I synthesis in the small intestine, but the protective effect is not related to IGF-I.

Influence of growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ axis on normal pregnancy

Objective To investigate the role of growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) axis in normal pregnancy.Methods Totally, 116 normal pregnant women were recruited from January 1997 to June 1998, with 20 normal nonpregnant women as controls. Maternal growth hormone (GH) and IGF-Ⅰ concentrations were assayed by RIA and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively.Results Maternal serum levels of GH increased throughout gestation, reached a peak at 25 weeks of pregnancy and remained fairly high (χ2=40.458, P<0.0001). There was a significant difference between samples at 5-9 week gestational age and the controls (3.45?μg/L vs 1.61?μg/L, P<0.05). The maternal serum levels of IGF-Ⅰ increased rapidly throughout gestation from 29-week gestation and reached a peak of 188.86?μg/L at term delivery (χ2=50.224, P<0.0001).Conclusions Maternal GH levels increased progressively throughout gestation, which correlated with fetal growth. Maternal GH may regulate nutrition supply among mother, placenta and the fetus and play an important role in transporting nutritional substrates by the placenta. The maternal IGF-Ⅰ in the third trimester may promote fetal growth and placental functions.

The change of insulin-like growth factor-1 in diabetic patients with neuropathy

Objective To evaluate the possible relationship between insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF 1) and diabetic neuropathy (DNP). Methods Sixty nine patients with Type 2 non insulin dependent diabetes (54 with peripheral neuropathy and 15 without neuropathy) were observed. Normal controls were 34 non diabetic persons. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy diagnosis was carried out taking into account results of NS, ND, NC and AF. After an overnight fast, blood was taken for IGF 1, glucose, hemoglobin Alc, C peptide, and insulin. Plasma IGF 1 was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) method. Results The neuropathic group had significantly lower levels for IGF 1 (86.43 ng/ml ±45.18 ng/ml) compared to normal controls (119.68 ng/ml ±89.42 ng/ml) (P<0.05), and to diabetic patients without neuropathy (113.75 ng/ml ±66.58 ng/ml) (P< 0.05). No significant difference was found between diabetic non neuropathic group and normal control subjects (P>0.05). In diabetic subjects there was a positive correlation (γ=0.27, P<0.05) between IGF 1 and beat to variation in heart rate. There were negative correlation bwteen IGF 1 and postprandial blood glucose (γ=-0.3, P< 0.05), and aspartic acid translocase (γ=-0.27, P<0.05). Conclusion In diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy there are abnormalities of IGF 1 that may contribute to the pathogeneses of diabetic neuropathy.
