Purpose : This study was to explore the effects of knee joint taping exercise on muscle strength, bone mineral density, pain and IGF-1 in blood of elderly women with knee Osteoarthritis. Methods : Thirty elderly women with knee osteoarthritis were divided into three groups: the taping with exercise group (n=10), the regular exercise group (n=10) and control group (n=10). Participants' muscle strength, bone mineral density, pain and IGF-1 in blood were measured three times : before exercise, after 6 weeks, and after 12 weeks. Results : Participants in both exercise (taping & non-taping) groups showed improvement in muscle strength, bone mineral density, pain and IGF-1 in blood after 6 and 12 weeks compared to before exercise. In particular, the taping exercise group had a greater effect on muscle strength than the regular exercise group. Conclusion : Both exercise programs considerably improved muscle strength, bone mineral density, reduced pain and IGF-1 in blood in elderly women with knee Osteoarthritis. The knee joint taping exercise is perhaps a better exercise to improve muscle strength than the regular exercise in treating elderly women with knee Osteoarthritis

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) 유전자의 발현은 사람 및 쥐에서 두 개의 promoters (P1과 P2)로부터의 전사와 alternative RNA splicing 및 differential RNA polyadenylation과 같은 복잡한 기전들에 의하여 조절되는데 조직에 따라 성장호르몬을 포함한 여러 요소들이 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 사람의 IGF-I 유전자 exon 1의 upstream에 존재하는 P1에 hepatocyte nuclear factor l$\alpha$와 CAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) isoform 들이 결합하여 조직 및 발달단계 특이한 발현에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 제안되었지만, exon 1의 downstream sequence가 IGF-I 유전자의 조직 특이적 발현을 조절하는 지에 대하여는 연구되어 있지 않다. 연령이 다른 쥐의 간 및 뇌 조직에서 total RNA를 분리하고 solution hybridization/RNase protection 방법으로 분석하여 IGF-I 유전자의 발현이 태어난 후 간 조직에서는 점차적으로 증가하였지만 뇌조직에서는 감소하여 발달단계에 따라 조직 특이하게 발현되는 것을 확인하였다. IGF-I exon 1의 주요한 전사 개시점으로부터 아래쪽에 존재하는 C/EBP 결합부위를 포함하고 있는 cis-acting element에 해당하는 oligonucleotide들과 간 및 뇌조직에서 분리한 핵단백질들을 이용하여 DNA-결합 활성을 가진 분자량이 다른 C/EBP$\alpha$나 C/EBP$\beta$ 단백질들을 확인하였으며 southwestern 및 western immnoblotting 분석을 하여 간 조직의 핵 추출물에서는 42$^{C}$EBP$\alpha$/, 와 p38$^{C}$EBP$\alpha$/, p35$^{C}$EBP$\alpha$/, p38$^{C}$EBP$\beta$/, 그리고 p35$^{C}$EBP$\beta$/가 IGF-I exon 1 oligonucleotide와 복합체를 형성하고 뇌 조직에서는 p42$^{C}$EBP$\alpha$과 p38$^{C}$EBP$\beta$가 복합체 형성에 관여하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 FRE-C/EBP isoform 복합체 형성이 IGF-I 유전자 발현의 조직 특이적 조절에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 제안한다.할을 할 것으로 제안한다.

치주조직재생에 중요하게 생각되는 요건으로는 치근면의 상태, 전구세포의 증식, 치유 부의 상피조직배제, 치유부의 안정화를 들 수 있으며 이중 가장 중요한 요건중의 하나가 치유부에 치주조직재생을 도모할 수 있는 전구 세포가 실수부로 이주하여 부착과 증식, 분화를 통하여 교원질섬유를 포함한 결체조직의 부착과 백악질, 골조직을 재형성하는 것이다. 최근에 이러한 전구세포들을 자극하고 원치 하는 세포들을 저지하기 위한 방법으로 성장 인자에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 골조직을 조절하는 인자로 알려진 인슐린유사성장인자- I (Insulin-like growth factor-I)는 폴리펩타이드계 성장인자로서 골세포의 증식, 기질합성 등을 촉진시킨다고 보고되고 있으나, 치주조직 재생에 대한 IGF- I 의 영향을 잘 규명되어 있지 않으므로 배양된 치주인대세포에 IGF- I 을 농도별로 주입하여 세포의 증식능, 교원질 및 단백질 합성능, 알카린인산효소활성도를 측정해 보므로써 IGF- I 이 치주인대세포의 활성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 교정치료를 위해 내원한 환자로부터 건강한 제일소구치를 발거하여 치주인대세포를 분리, 배양하여 IGF- I 을 주입시키지 않은 군을 대조군으로 하고, IGF- I 을 각각 0.1, 1, 10, 100 ng//ml로 주입시킨 군을 실험군으로 하여 DNA합성능, 총단백질과 교원질 합성능 및 알카린인산효소활성도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. DNA 합성능에 미치는 IGF- I 의 효과는 농도가 증가함에 따라 0.1ng/ml를 제외하고는 DNA 합성능이 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 대조군에 비해 10, 100ng/ml투여군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이(P<0/05)를 나타내었다. 치주인대세포의 총단백질 합성양에 미치는 IGF- I 의 효과는 농도가 증가함에 따라 총단백질 합성양이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 대조군에 비해 1, 10, 100ng/ml 투여군에서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이(P<0.001)를 나타내었다. 총단백질을 교원질(collagenase digestible protein : CDP)과 비교원성 단백질(non-collagenous protein : NCP)로 분류하여 비교하였을때 IGF- I 의 농도가 증가함에 따라 비교원성 단백질 합성양과 교원질 합성양이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 비교원성 단백질 합성양이 교원질 합성양보다 약간 높게 나타났고, 대조군에 비해 1, 10, 100ng/ml 투여군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이(P<0.05, P<0.001)를 나타내었다. 총단백질에 대한 교원질합성의 상대적 비율은 농도가 증가함에 따라 각 군당 별차이를 보이지 않았으며, 대조군에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 차이 (P>0.05)를 나타내지 않았다. 알카린인산효소활성도에 미치는 IGF- I 의 효과는 모든군에서 7일째보다 14일째에서 약간 높은 알카린인산효소활성도롤 나타내었으며, 7, 14일 모두 농도가 증가함에 따라 효소활성도가 증가하였으며, 7일째 대조군에 비해 100ng/ml 투여군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이(p<0.05)를 나타내었다.

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) rich fraction, collected components between 1 kDa and 30 kDa, was fractionated from bovine colostral whey using an ultrafiltration membrane. IGF-I was confirmed in the collected IGF-I rich fraction by both SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The concentration of IGF-I in the IGF-I rich fraction was 10 ng/mg protein. One hundred microliters of the reconstituted IGF-I rich fraction was intraperitoneally injected into ICR male mice for 2 weeks at 24 h intervals. The functions of peritoneal macrophages, including phagocytosis, interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ production, and nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide production, were enhanced significantly by the administration of the IGF-I rich fraction in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.01). The proliferation of Concanavalin (Con) A-stimulated and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated splenocytes was also determined to have been enhanced significantly by the administration of the IGF-I rich fraction in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.01). Our results indicate that the administration of IGF-I rich fraction obtained from bovine colostral whey enhances both innate and acquired immunity for ICR male mice.

The objectives of this study were to characterize the changes occurring in the levels of insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) in bovine milk during a one-year lactation period, and to determine the parameters affecting IGF content in bovine milk. Milk was collected individually from lactating Holstein cows (n=70), and IGF-I and -II levels were determined via radioimmunoassay, using 125I after acid-ethanol treatment. The proximate compositions of the milk samples were determined using a near-infrared milk analyzer. The data were analyzed by the GLM and CORR procedures using SAS software to determine significant differences (p<0.05) occurring within groups (dairy farms, lactation periods, season, and parity). We noted an approximately six-fold reduction in the IGF-I concentration (from 2,462.7 to 353.0 ng/ml) and a three-fold drop in the IGF-II concentration (from 929.1 to 365.7 ng/ml) in the bovine colostrum, between 6 h after parturition and 18 h after parturition. IGF-I and -II content, measured at the early, middle, and late stages of lactation did not change significantly throughout the entirety of the lactation period. Interestingly, parity did not significantly affect IGF-I content, but did significantly affect IGF-II content between the primiparous and multiparous cows. We also found there were no significant relationships between IGF-I and total protein content or somatic cell counts (p<0.05).

The teleosts represent ancient real-bony vertebrates in phylogeny and resemble major genetic patterns to higher vertebrates. In the present study, we have defined the single family of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) from flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), compared to the prototype of IGFs observed in the Agnathan hagfish. In flounder, IGFs are clearly diverged into two major types including type I and II, and they are structurally similar by displaying a multidomain structure consisting of five functional regions as previously found in other vertebrates. However, flIGF-I appears to be more basic (pI 8.03) than the flIGF-II (pI 5.34) in the fully processed form for the B to D domain region. The flIGF-I seems to contain an evolutionary conserved Asn-linked glycosylation in E domain, which is not found in flIGF­II. The most interesting feature is that flIGF-II appeared to be structurally close to hagfish IGF in secondary structures, particularly in Band D domains. This could tell us an idea on the molecular divergence of IGFs from the Agnatha to teleosts during the vertebrate phylogeny. It also support, in part, a notion regarding on how IGF-II is appeared as more embryonic during development. Nonetheless, the biologically active B to D domain region of flIGF-II shows significant sequence homology of $65.6\%$ to flIGF-Is and contains the evolutionary conserved insulin-family signature, as well as a reserved recognition site (Lys) in D domain, necessary to generate proteolytic cleavage for E-peptide. A significant structural difference was found in E domain in which flIGF-I possesses two potential alternative splicing donor site at $Val^{17,\;24}$ of E domain. Therefore, it seems so far that IGF-I sorely produces spliced variants due to the spliced E-peptide moiety while IGF-II appears to be maintained in a single type during evolution. IGF-II, however, may be also possible to transcribe unidentified variants, depending on the physiological conditions of tissues in vertebrates in vivo.

Aims: To examine the pretreatment effects of regular aerobic training on the IGF system (IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and IGF/IGFBP) and doxorubicin(DOX) induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight male rats were divided into groups:(1) control+placebo (2) $control+DOX_{10}mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ (3) $control+DOX_{20}mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ (4) training+placebo (5) $training+DOX_{10}mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ (6) $training+DOX_{20}mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$. Hepatotoxicity was induced by DOX with dosages of 10 and 20 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$. The rats in groups 4, 5 and 6 performed treadmill running of 25-54 min/day and 15-20 m/min, 5 days/wk for 6 wks. At the end of the aerobic training protocol, rats in the 1 and 4 groups, in the 2 and 5 groups and in the 3 and 6 groups received saline solution, $DOX_{10}mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and $DOX_{20}mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, respectively. Results: Administration of $DOX_{20}mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ caused a significant increase in IGF-1 and IGF-1/IGFBP-3, an insignificant decrease in IGFBP-3, as compared to the control+placebo group. However, after six weeks of aerobic training and DOX treatment with $10mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and or/ $20mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ an insignificant decrease in IGF-1, an insignificant increase in IGFBP-3 and a significant decrease in IGF-1/IGFBP-3 were detected, in comparison to $C+DOX_{10}$ and $C+DOX_{20}$. Conclusions: Hepatotoxicity of doxorubicin is dose-dependent and pretreatment with regular aerobic training may improve DOX-induced hepatotoxicity by up-regulation of IGFBP3.

Polypeptide growth factors belong to a class of potent biologic mediators which regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and metabolism. IGF-I is polypeptides secreted by skeletal cells and is considered as regulators of bone formation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of IGF-I on bone nodule formation and alkaline phosphatase activity of MC3T3-E1 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded at $1{\times}10^4$ cells/well, $1{\times}10^5$ cells/well in alpha-modified Eagle medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 10 mM ${\beta}-glycerophosphate$ and $5O{\mu}g/ml$ of ascorbic acid. Before 48 hours of indicated time, medium were changed with serum free medium. After 24 hours, 0.1, 1, 10 ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells and cultured for 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 days. And histochemical analysis was done and ALP activity was measured and was expressed as nmol/min/mg of protein. The bone nodule formation in MC3T3-E1 cells of IGF-I was seen at 21, 28 days, but there were no difference between control group and experimental groups. The ALP activity decreased when it is compare to control 2 group except for 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml IGF-I of 21-day-groups and 1 ng/ml IGF-I of 28-day-groups. Dose response effects of IGF-I of ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells were seen the highest ALP activity at 1ng/ml until 21days and the highest ALP activity at 10 ng/ml of 28 daygroups. The peak times were seen at 7-day group, 14-day group on control group and experimental group respectively, and 1 ng/ml group was the highest ALP activity, From the above results, IGF-I was not seen notable effect on bone nodule formation and decreased ALP activity of MC3T3-E1 cells but the use of IGF-I to mediate biological stimulation of MC3T3-E1 cells shows promise for future therapeutic application.
