Background: To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) and sushi domain containing protein 3 (SUSD3) in breast cancer tissue, and analyze their relationship with clinical parameters and the correlation between the two proteins. Materials and Methods: The expression of IGF-IR and SUSD3 in 100 cases of breast cancer tissues and adjacent normal breast tissues after surgery was detected by immunohistochemical technique MaxVisionTM, and the relationship with clinical pathological features was further analyzed. Results: The positive rate of IGF-IR protein was 86.0% in breast cancer, higher than 3.0% in adjacent normal breast tissue (P<0.05). The positive expression rate of SUSD3 protein was 78.0% in breast cancer, higher than 2.0% in adjacent normal breast tissue (P<0.05). The expression of IGF-IR and SUSD3 was related to estrogen receptor and pathological types (P<0.05),but not with age, stage, the expression of HER-2 and Ki-67 (P>0. 05). The expression of IGF-IR and SUSD3 in breast cancer tissue was positively related (r=0.553, P<0.01). Conclusions: The expression of IGF-IR and SUSD3 may be correlated to the occurrence and development of breast cancer. The combined detection of IGF-IR, SUSD3 and ER may play an important role in judging prognosis and guiding adjuvant therapy after surgery of breast cancer.

It has been reported that the dysfunctions of podocytes are associated with the development of diabetic nephropathy. In addition, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are associated with the development of diabetic nephropathy. However, it is not yet known about the effect of high glucose on IGF-I, -II secretion, and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) expression in the podocytes. Thus, this study was conducted to examine the effect of high glucose on IGF system and its involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in podocytes. In this study, high glucose (25 mM) increased IGF-I and IGF-II secretion (P<0.05), which was blocked by SB 203580 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor) but not by PD 98059 (a p44/42 MAPK inhibitor). In addition, high glucose-induced stimulation of IGFs was blocked by bisindolylmaleimide I and staurosporine (protein kinase C inhibitors). High glucose also increased IGFBP-l expression, which was blocked by bisindolylmaleimide I and SB 203580. In conclusion, high glucose alters IGFs secretion and IGFBP expression via PKC and p38 MAPK pathways in podocytes.

A comparative study was performed to investigate the efficacy of KiFAY as a feed additive on performance parameters, thyroid, and pancreatic hormone levels in broilers. Ninety birds (Vencobb 400) were randomly divided into three groups viz., Control (no DL-methionine supplementation), Treatment1 (containing added DL-methionine) and Treatment 2 (containing KiFAY and without DL-methionine supplementation). The performance parameters (weekly body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, and feed consumption ratio) were recorded and calculated during the whole study of 4 weeks. Analyses of insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF 1), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were performed at the end of the study. The results show that birds on supplementation of KiFAY performed significantly (p<0.001) better than other treatments. The weekly body weight, body weight gain, feed in-take and feed consumption ratio improved in KiFAY treated birds. The study found an increase in insulin and IGF1 levels (p<0.001) in KiFAY compared with the other treatments. Serum T3, T4, and TSH levels in the Treatment 2 were higher than other treatments (p<0.001). The KiFAY supplementation was able to improve performance with associated responses at a hormonal level in broilers.

목 적 : 혈청 IGF-I, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3 농도 및 IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio는 소아의 성장 발달, 당뇨병, 비만 및 악성종양의 진단, 예후 예측과 치료후 추적에 유용한 지표이지만 성별, 연령별, 인종별 변이가 있다. 저자들은 우리나라 어린이의 성별 및 연령군별 혈청 IGF-I, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3 농도 및 IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio의 정상 표준치 확립을 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 총 92명(남자 42명, 여자 50명)의 건강한 어린이를 대상으로 하였고, 신생아군 9명(남자 3명, 여자 6명), 영아군 19명(남자 9명, 여자 10명), 유아군 24명(남자 13명, 여자 11명), 학령군 30명(남자 12명, 여자 18명), 청소년군 10명(남자 5명, 여자 5명)으로 분류 후, ELISA 방법을 이용하여 혈청 IGF-I, IGFBP-2 및 IGFBP-3 농도를 측정하였고, 각 군간의 IGF-I, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3 및 IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio를 비교분석하였다. 결 과 : 1) 남자에서는 IGF-I과 IGFBP-3는 출생과 더불어 증가하여 각각 유아군(P<0.05), 학령군(P<0.05)에 최고값에 도달한 후 청소년군으로 갈수록 감소하였다. IGFBP-2와 IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio는 각각 학령군과 영아군에 최고값을 보이고 감소하였으나 출생시에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 보이지 않았다. 각 군간의 비교에서 IGFBP-2만이 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 2) 여자에서는 IGF-I과 IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3는 출생과 더불어 증가하여 각각 청소년군, 학령군(P<0.05), 학령군(P<0.05)에 최고값에 도달하였으나 IGF-I은 출생시에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 보이지 않았다. IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio는 출생시에 최고값을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 각 군간의 비교에서 IGFBP-2 및 IGFBP-3가 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 3) 동일연령군별 남녀 비교에서 IGF-I과 IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3 및 IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio 어느 것도 남녀 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4) 상관관계 조사시 IGF-I의 농도가 높을수록 IGFBP-3의 농도 역시 의미있게 증가하였고(r=0.504, P=0.000), IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio와 비만도와의 상관 관계를 조사해 본 결과 통계적으로 의미있는 음의 상관 관계를 보이지 않았다(r=0.051, P=0.629). 또한 비만도와 IGF-I, IGFBP-2 및 IGFBP-3 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 상관 관계는 없었다. 결 론 : IGF-I과 IGFBP-3는 사춘기 진행에 따라 증가하며, 본 연구에서 IGFBP-3가 학령군에서 최고 수준을 보이는 것은 사춘기가 일찍 오는 요즘 어린이들의 성장 추세를 반영하는 것으로 추정되어진다. IGFBP-2는 신생아군에서 가장 높고 영아군에서 감소하는 데 이것은 IGFBP-2가 출생 전 발달 과정에 중요한 물질임을 뒷받침해주는 소견이다. 향후 더 많은 정상아를 대상으로한 연구를 통하여 보다 정확한 우리나라 어린이의 성별 연령군별 정상 표준치 확립이 필요하겠다.

Increasing of body weight has been one of the important economic factors in the poultry industry. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is a polypeptide that serves to regulate muscle development and body growth. Moreover, IGF-I is related to feed efficiency. However, there are few studies regarding the regulatory roles of chicken IGF-I/-II compared with that of mammals. Especially, the Korean Native Ogol Chicken (KNOC) has a lean body growth and its body weight is generally lighter than the broiler chicken. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate associations among serum IGF-I/-II concentration, feed efficiency, and body growth in KNOC. The body weight and feed intake of KNOC were recorded from 20 to 36 weeks at 2 weeks intervals, and blood was taken every 2 weeks. Serum IGF-I/-II were measured by RIA. Chickens were divided into two groups, high and low serum IGF-I concentration. Generally, feed efficiency and growth performance (body weight and weight gain) in the high serum IGF-I group were higher than those of the low group during the experimental period. In particular, the body weight of the IGF-I high group were significantly different from those of the IGF-I low group at 34 and 36 weeks, respectively (p<0.05). Moreover, body weight, weight gain, and feed efficiency had a significant correlation with serum IGF-I at several weeks (p<0.05 and p<0.01). These results show that IGF-I plays an important role in body growth and suggests a possibility that serum IGF-I could be used as a selection marker for body growth in KNOC.

Reduction of insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling (IIS) extends the lifespan of various species. So far, several longevity mouse models have been developed containing mutations related to growth signaling deficiency by targeting growth hormone (GH), IGF1, IGF1 receptor, insulin receptor, and insulin receptor substrate. In addition, p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) knockout leads to lifespan extension. S6K1 encodes an important kinase in the regulation of cell growth. S6K1 is regulated by mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1. The v-myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (MYC)-deficient mice also exhibits a longevity phenotype. The gene expression profiles of these mice models have been measured to identify their longevity mechanisms. Here, we summarize our knowledge of long-lived mouse models related to growth and discuss phenotypic characteristics, including organ-specific gene expression patterns.

Insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I)은 70개의 아미노산으로 이루어진 polypeptides로서 pronsulin과 구조적으로 유사하다(Froesch and Zapf, 1985). IGF-I은 척추동물에서 성장호르몬의 매개로 생성되어 동물의 성장 발달에 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며 세포의 성장, 분화, 대사에 다양한 효과를 보여주고 있다(Cohich and Clemmons, 1993; Baxter, 1993). 또한 체성장을 가속화시키고 in vivo에서는 단백질의 합성을 촉진시킨다(Rotwein et al., 1987). (중략)

Objective: This study aimed to identify the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the dual-specificity phosphatase 8 (DUSP8) and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) genes and to explore their effects on inosine-5'-monophosphate (IMP), inosine, and hypoxanthine contents in Korean native chicken -red-brown line (KNC-R Line). Methods: A total sample of 284 (males, n = 127; females n = 157) and 230 (males, n = 106; females, n = 124) aged of 10 weeks old KNC-R line was used for genotyping of DUSP8 and IGF2 genes, respectively. One SNP (rs313443014 C>T) in DUSP8 gene and two SNPs (rs315806609A/G and rs313810945T/C) in IGF2 gene were used for genotyping by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and KASP methods, respectively. The Two-way analysis of variance of the R program was used to associate DUSP8 and IGF2 genotypes with nucleotide contents in KNC-R chickens. Results: The DUSP8 (rs313443014 C>T) was polymorphic in KNC-R line and showed three genotypes: CC, CT, and TT. The IGF2 gene (rs315806609A/G and rs313810945T/C) was also polymorphic and had three genotypes per SNP, including GG, AG, and AA for the SNP rs315806609A/G and genotypes: CC, CT, and TT for the SNP rs313810945T/C. Association resulted into a strong significant association (p<0.01) with IMP, inosine, and hypoxanthine. Moreover, the significant effect of sex (p<0.05) on nucleotide content was also observed. Conclusion: The SNPs in the DUSP8 and IGF2 genes might be used as genetic markers in the selection and production of chickens with highly flavored meat.

The modulating effect of IGF-I on the regulation of AR gene expression and activation in skeletal muscle cells remains poorly understood. In this study, the effects of IGF-I treatment on AR induction and activation in the absence of AR ligands were examined. Differentiating C2C12 cells were treated with different concentrations (0-250 ng/ml) of IGF-I or for various periods of time (0-60 min) of 250 ng/ml IGF-I. Treatment of C2C12 cells with IGF-I resulted in a dose- and time-dependent increase in total AR and phosphorylated AR (Ser 213). IGF-I treatment also led to significantly increased AR mRNA expression when compared with the control. The levels of skeletal ${\alpha}-actin$ and myogenin mRNA, known target genes of AR, were also significantly upregulated after 5 or 10 min of treatment with IGF-I. Confocal images revealed that IGF-I stimulated nuclear localization of AR in the absence of ligands. In addition, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay indicated that IGF-I stimulated the AR DNA binding activity in a time-dependent manner. The present results suggest that IGF-I stimulates the expression and activation of AR by ligand-independent mechanism in differentiating C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells.
