Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a critical modulator of cell growth and survival, making it a central part of maintaining essentially every biological system in the body. Knowledge of the intricate mechanisms involved in activating IGF-1 signaling is not only key to understanding basic processes of growth and development, but also for addressing diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. This brief review explores how dysregulation of normal IGF-1 signaling can impact growth by examining its role in postnatal bone elongation. IGF-1 actions are dysregulated in autoimmune diseases, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis and chronic kidney disease, which results in growth stunting. Conversely, childhood obesity results in growth acceleration, premature growth cessation, and ultimately, diminished bone quality, while systemic IGF-1 levels remain normal. Understanding the role of IGF-1 signaling in normal and dysregulated growth can add to other studies that address how this system regulates chronic diseases.

Abstract
Ozonation has been proved as a viable surface modification technique providing certain properties to the scaffolds that are essential in tissue engineering. However, the ozone (O3) treatment of PCL scaffolds in aqueous environments has not yet been presented. O3 treatment performed in aqueous environments is more effective compared with traditional, executed in ambient air treatment due to more abundant production of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) within the O3 reaction with water molecules. During interaction with •OH, the scaffold acquires functional groups which improve wettability properties and encapsulate growth factors. In this study, a poly(ε)caprolactone (PCL) scaffold was fabricated using solution electrospinning and was subsequently ozonated in a water reactor. The O3 treatment resulted in the expected occurrence of oxygen-containing functional groups, which improved scaffold wettability by almost 27% and enhanced cell proliferation for up to 14 days. The PCL scaffold was able to withhold 120 min of O3 treatment, maintaining fibrous morphology and mechanical properties.

Abstract
To salvage marine ecosystems from fishery overexploitation, sustainable and efficient aquaculture must be emphasized. The knowledge obtained from available genome sequence of marine organisms has accelerated marine aquaculture in many cases. The black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is one of the most prominent cultured penaeid shrimps (Crustacean) with an average annual global production of half a million tons in the last decade. However, its currently available genome assemblies lack the contiguity and completeness required for accurate genome annotation due to the highly repetitive nature of the genome and technical difficulty in extracting high-quality, high-molecular weight DNA. Here, we report the first chromosome-level whole-genome assembly of P. monodon. The combination of long-read Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and long-range Chicago and Hi-C technologies enabled a successful assembly of this first high-quality genome sequence. The final assembly covered 2.39 Gb (92.3% of the estimated genome size) and contained 44 pseudomolecules, corresponding to the haploid chromosome number. Repetitive elements occupied a substantial portion of the assembly (62.5%), the highest of the figures reported among crustacean species. The availability of this high-quality genome assembly enabled the identification of genes associated with rapid growth in the black tiger shrimp through the comparison of hepatopancreas transcriptome of slow-growing and fast-growing shrimps. The results highlighted several growth-associated genes. Our high-quality genome assembly provides an invaluable resource for genetic improvement and breeding penaeid shrimp in aquaculture. The availability of P. monodon genome enables analyses of ecological impact, environment adaptation and evolution, as well as the role of the genome to protect the ecological resources by promoting sustainable shrimp farming.

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) expression in adrenocortical disease due to PRKAR1A mutations compared to other benign adrenal tumors. Endocrine 2021; 72:823-834.

Abstract
PURPOSE Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF2), a key regulator of cell growth and development, is tightly regulated in its expression by epigenetic control that maintains its monoallelic expression in most tissues. Biallelic expression of IGF2 resulting from loss of imprinting (LOI) has been reported in adrenocortical tumors. In this study, we wanted to check whether adrenocortical lesions due to PRKAR1A mutations lead to increased IGF2 expression from LOI and compare these findings to those in other benign adrenal lesions. METHODS We compared the expression of IGF2 by RNA and protein studies in primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) caused by PRKAR1A gene mutations to that in primary macronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia (PMAH) and cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA) that did not have any mutations in known genes. We also checked LOI in all lesions by DNA allelic studies and the expression of other components of IGF2 signaling at the RNA and protein level. RESULTS We identified cell clusters overexpressing IGF2 in PPNAD; although immunostaining was patchy, overall, by RNA and immunoblotting PPNAD expressed high IGF2 message and protein. However, this was not due to LOI, as there was no correlation between IGF2 expression and the presence of LOI. CONCLUSIONS Our data pointed to over-expression of IGF2 protein in PPNAD compared to other benign adrenocortical lesions, such as PMAH and CPA. However, there was no correlation of IGF2 mRNA levels with LOI of IGF2/H19. The discrepancy between mRNA and protein levels with regards to LOI points, perhaps, to different control of IGF2 gene expression in PPNAD.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) has become a critical therapy for treating growth delay and failure in pediatric chronic kidney disease. Recombinant human GH treatment is safe and significantly improves height and height velocity in these growing patients and improved growth outcomes are associated with decreased morbidity and mortality as well as improved quality of life. However, the utility of recombinant human GH in adults with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease for optimization of body habitus and reducing frailty remains uncertain.

Abstract
Inflammation of ruminal epithelium may occur during ruminal acidosis as a result of translocation and interaction of ruminal epithelial cells (REC) with molecules such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Such inflammation has been reported to alter cellular processes such as nutrient absorption, metabolic regulation, and energy substrate utilization in other cell types but has not been investigated for REC. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of LPS on metabolism of short-chain fatty acids by primary REC, as well as investigating the effects of media containing short-chain fatty acids on the proinflammatory response. Ruminal papillae from 9 yearling Speckle Park beef heifers were used to isolate and culture primary REC. Cells were grown in minimum essential medium (MEM) for 12 d before use and then reseeded in 24-well culture plates. The study was conducted as a 2 × 2 factorial, where cells were grown in unaltered MEM (REG) or medium containing 2 mM butyrate and 5 mM propionate (SCFA) with (50,000 EU/mL; +LPS) or without LPS (-LPS) for 24 h. Supernatant samples were collected for analysis of glucose and SCFA consumption. Cells were collected to determine the expression of mRNA for genes associated with inflammation (TNF, IL1B, CXCL2, CXCL8, PTGS2, and TLR4), purinergic signaling (P2RX7, ADORAB2, and CD73), nutrient transport [SLC16A1 (MCT1), SLC16A3 (MCT4), SLC5A8, and MCU], and cell metabolism [ACAT1, SLC2A1 (GLUT1), IGFBP3, and IGFBP5]. Protein expression of TLR4 and ketogenic enzymes (BDH1 and HMGCS1) were also analyzed using flow cytometry. Statistical analysis was conducted with the MIXED model of SAS version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC) with medium, LPS exposure, and medium × LPS interaction as fixed effects and animal within plate as a random effect. Cells tended to consume more glucose when exposed to LPS as opposed to no LPS exposure (31.8 vs. 28.7 ± 2.7), but consumption of propionate and butyrate was not influenced by LPS. Expression of TNF and IL1B was upregulated when exposed to LPS, and expression of CXCL2 and CXCL8 increased following LPS exposure with SCFA (medium × LPS). For cells exposed to LPS, we found a downregulation of ACAT1 and IGFBP5 and an upregulation of SLC2A1, SLC16A3, MCU, and IGFBP3. Medium with SCFA led to greater expression of MCU. SLC16A1 was upregulated in cells incubated with SCFA and without LPS compared with the other groups. Protein expression of ketogenic enzymes was not affected; however, BDH1 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) expression tended to be less in cells exposed to LPS. These data are interpreted to indicate that when REC are exposed to LPS, they may increase glucose metabolism. Moreover, transport of solutes was affected by SCFA in the medium and by exposure to LPS. Overall, the results suggest that metabolic function of REC in vitro is altered by a proinflammatory response, which may lead to a greater glucose requirement.

Abstract
Gliomas have substantial mortality to incidence rate ratio and a dismal clinical course. Newer molecular insights, therefore, are imperative to refine glioma diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. Meningioma 1 (MN1) gene is a transcriptional co-regulator implicated in other malignancies, albeit its significance in glioma pathology remains to be explored. IGFBP5 is regulated transcriptionally by MN1 and IGF1 and is associated with higher glioma grade and shorter survival time, prompting us to ascertain their correlation in these tumors. We quantified the expression of MN1, IGFBP5 and IGF1 in 40 glioma samples and examined their interrelatedness. MN1 mRNA-protein inter-correlation and the gene’s copy number were evaluated in these tumors. Publicly available TCGA datasets were used to examine the association of MN1 expression levels with patient survival and for validating our findings. We observed MN1 overexpression correlated with low-grade (LGGs) and not high-grade gliomas and is not determined by the copy number alteration of the gene. Notably, gliomas with upregulated MN1 have better overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). IGFBP5 expression associated inversely with MN1 expression levels in gliomas but correlated positively with IGF1 expression in only LGGs. This suggests a potential grade-specific interplay between repressive and activating roles of MN1 and IGF1, respectively, in the regulation of IGFBP5. Thus, MN1 overexpression, a promising predictor of OS and PFS in gliomas, may serve as a prognostic biomarker in clinical practice to categorize patients with survival advantage.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system stimulates growth, proliferation, and regulates differentiation of cells in a tissue-specific manner. It is composed of two insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2), six insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs), and two insulin-like growth factor receptors (IGF-1R and IGF-2R). IGF actions take place mostly through the activation of the plasma membrane-bound IGF-Rs by the circulating ligands (IGFs) released from the IGFBPs that stabilize their levels in the serum. This review focuses on the IGF-1 part of the system. The IGF-1 gene, which is expressed mainly in the liver as well as in other tissues, comprises six alternatively spliced exons that code for three protein isoforms (pro-IGF-1A, pro-IGF-1B, and pro-IGF-1C), which are processed to mature IGF-1 and E-peptides. The IGF-1R undergoes autophosphorylation, resulting in a signaling cascade involving numerous cytoplasmic proteins such as AKT and MAPKs, which regulate the expression of target genes. However, a more complex picture of the axis has recently emerged with all its components being translocated to the nuclear compartment. IGF-1R takes part in the regulation of gene expression by forming transcription complexes, modifying the activity of chromatin remodeling proteins, and participating in DNA damage tolerance mechanisms. Four IGFBPs contain a nuclear localization signal (NLS), which targets them to the nucleus, where they regulate gene expression (IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-5, IGFBP-6) and DNA damage repair (IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-6). Last but not least, the IGF-1B isoform has been reported to be localized in the nuclear compartment. However, no specific molecular actions have been assigned to the nuclear pro-IGF-1B or its derivative EB peptide. Therefore, further studies are needed to shed light on their nuclear activity. These recently uncovered nuclear actions of different components of the IGF-1 axis are relevant in cancer cell biology and are discussed in this review.

Abstract
The IGF-binding protein family contains six members that share significant structural homology. Their principal function is to regulate the actions of IGF1 and IGF2. These proteins are present in plasma and extracellular fluids and regulate access of both IGF1 and II to the type I IGF receptor. Additionally, they have functions that are independent of their ability to bind IGFs. Each protein is regulated independently of IGF1 and IGF2, and this provides an important mechanism by which other hormones and physiologic variables can regulate IGF actions indirectly. Several members of the family are sensitive to changes in intermediary metabolism. Specifically the presence of obesity/insulin resistance can significantly alter the expression of these proteins. Similarly changes in nutrition or catabolism can alter their synthesis and degradation. Multiple hormones such as glucocorticoids, androgens, estrogen and insulin regulate IGFBP synthesis and bioavailability. In addition to their ability to regulate IGF access to receptors these proteins can bind to distinct cell surface proteins or proteins in extracellular matrix and several cellular functions are influenced by these interactions. IGFBPs can be transported intracellularly and interact with nuclear proteins to alter cellular physiology. In pathophysiologic states, there is significant dysregulation between the changes in IGFBP synthesis and bioavailability and changes in IGF1 and IGF2. These discordant changes can lead to marked alterations in IGF action. Although binding protein physiology and pathophysiology are complex, experimental results have provided an important avenue for understanding how IGF actions are regulated in a variety of physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone (TH) is essential for skeletal development from the late fetal life to the onset of puberty. During this large window of actions, TH has key roles in endochondral and intramembranous ossifications and in the longitudinal bone growth. There is evidence that TH acts directly in skeletal cells but also indirectly, specially via the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 axis, to control the linear skeletal growth and maturation. The presence of receptors, plasma membrane transporters, and activating and inactivating enzymes of TH in skeletal cells suggests that direct actions of TH in these cells are crucial for skeletal development, which has been confirmed by several in vitro and in vivo studies, including mouse genetic studies, and clinical studies in patients with resistance to thyroid hormone due to dominant-negative mutations in TH receptors. This review examines progress made on understanding the mechanisms by which TH regulates the skeletal development.

Abstract
Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) feature significant challenges to the maintenance of adequate nutrition and linear growth. Moreover, the impaired nutritional state contributes directly to poor growth. Therefore, it is necessary to consider nutritional status in the assessment of etiology and treatment of sub-optimal linear growth. The major causes of poor linear growth including dysregulation of the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis, nutritional deficiency, metabolic acidosis, anemia, renal osteodystrophy/bone mineral disease, and inflammation. This review summarizes the causes and assessment tools of growth and nutrition while providing a summary of state of the art therapies for these co-morbidities of pediatric CKD.

Nutrition, infection and stunting: the roles of deficiencies of individual nutrients and foods, and of inflammation, as determinants of reduced linear growth of children. Nutr Res Rev 2017; 30:50-72.

Abstract
The regulation of linear growth by nutritional and inflammatory influences is examined in terms of growth-plate endochondral ossification, in order to better understand stunted growth in children. Linear growth is controlled by complex genetic, physiological, and nutrient-sensitive endocrine/paracrine/autocrine mediated molecular signalling mechanisms, possibly including sleep adequacy through its influence on growth hormone secretion. Inflammation, which accompanies most infections and environmental enteric dysfunction, inhibits endochondral ossification through the action of mediators including proinflammatory cytokines, the activin A-follistatin system, glucocorticoids and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). In animal models linear growth is particularly sensitive to dietary protein as well as Zn intake, which act through insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its binding proteins, triiodothyronine, amino acids and Zn2+ to stimulate growth-plate protein and proteoglycan synthesis and cell cycle progression, actions which are blocked by corticosteroids and inflammatory cytokines. Observational human studies indicate stunting to be associated with nutritionally poor, mainly plant-based diets. Intervention studies provide some support for deficiencies of energy, protein, Zn and iodine and for multiple micronutrient deficiencies, at least during pregnancy. Of the animal-source foods, only milk has been specifically and repeatedly shown to exert an important influence on linear growth in both undernourished and well-nourished children. However, inflammation, caused by infections, environmental enteric dysfunction, which may be widespread in the absence of clean water, adequate sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and endogenous inflammation associated with excess adiposity, in each case contributes to stunting, and may explain why nutritional interventions are often unsuccessful. Current interventions to reduce stunting are targeting WASH as well as nutrition.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of dietary copper on serum growth-related hormones levels and growth performance, a total of 60 weanling pigs were randomly assigned to six groups each containing 10 pigs, fed on basal diets supplemented with 0 (control), 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mg/kg copper sulfate for 80 days, respectively. The average daily gain (ADG), feed to gain ratio (F/G), feed intake and serum growth hormone (GH), insulin (INS), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) levels were detected at interval of 20 days. The results revealed that ADG, and serum GH, INS, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 concentrations were increased significantly in the pigs fed on diets added with 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mg/kg copper sulfate. Meanwhile, in the pigs supplemented with 250 mg/kg copper sulfate, ADG was increased significantly from the 40th to the 60th day of the experiment (P < 0.01), and the levels of GH, INS, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 in serum were elevated significantly from the 20th to the 40th day of the experiment (P < 0.01). It is concluded that effects of copper supplemented in the diet on the growth of pigs were related to the increasing levels of GH, INS, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 in serum which were induced by copper. High dietary copper increase the concentrations of growth-related hormones in serum, resulting in improving the growth performance of weanling pigs.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate whether female adult offspring born with intrauterine growth retardation induced by prenatal nicotine exposure (PNE) are susceptible to osteoarthritis (OA) and to explore the underlying programming mechanisms. Pregnant rats were treated with nicotine or saline at 2.0 mg/kg/d from gestational d 11 to 20. The female adult offspring with or without PNE were forced with a strenuous treadmill running for 6 wk to induce OA. Nicotine's effects on fetal articular chondrocytes were studied by exposing chondrocytes to nicotine for 10 d, and dihydro-β-erythroidine, a selective α4β2-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) inhibitor, was used to identify the change of nicotine's effect. For adult offspring, increased cartilage destruction and accelerated OA progression were observed in the PNE group with running; the expression of α1 chain of type II collagen (Col2A1), aggrecan, SRY-type high mobility group box 9 (Sox9), and IGF1 signaling molecules in the cartilage of PNE offspring were decreased. For fetuses, elevated serum corticosteroid and nicotine levels and suppressed IGF1 levels were observed; expression of Col2A1, aggrecan, Sox9, and IGF1 were reduced. The result of chondrocytes revealed that nicotine impeded the expression of Col2A1, aggrecan, and IGF1; blocking α4β2-nAChR rescued nicotine's suppression. In conclusion, PNE increases the susceptibility of adult offspring to OA; the potential mechanism involves IGF1 low-functional programming in articular cartilage caused directly by the action of nicotine on α4β2-nAChR.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) signaling is essential for postnatal linear bone growth, but the relative importance of GHs actions on the liver and/or growth plate cartilage remains unclear. The importance of liver derived insulin like‐growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) for endochondral growth has recently been challenged. Here, we investigate linear growth in Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling‐2 (SOCS2) knockout mice, which have enhanced growth despite normal systemic GH/IGF‐1 levels. Wild‐type embryonic ex vivo metatarsals failed to exhibit increased linear growth in response to GH, but displayed increased Socs2 transcript levels (P < 0.01). In the absence of SOCS2, GH treatment enhanced metatarsal linear growth over a 12 day period. Despite this increase, IGF‐1 transcript and protein levels were not increased in response to GH. In accordance with these data, IGF‐1 levels were unchanged in GH‐challenged postnatal Socs2‐/‐ conditioned medium despite metatarsals showing enhanced linear growth. Growth‐plate Igf1 mRNA levels were not elevated in juvenile Socs2‐/‐ mice. GH did however elevate IGF‐binding protein 3 levels in conditioned medium from GH challenged metatarsals and this was more apparent in Socs2‐/‐ metatarsals. GH did not enhance the growth of Socs2‐/‐ metatarsals when the IGF receptor was inhibited, suggesting that IGF receptor mediated mechanisms are required. IGF‐2 may be responsible as IGF‐2 promoted metatarsal growth and Igf2 expression was elevated in Socs2‐/‐ (but not WT) metatarsals in response to GH. These studies emphasise the critical importance of SOCS2 in regulating GHs ability to promote bone growth. Also, GH appears to act directly on the metatarsals of Socs2‐/‐ mice, promoting growth via a mechanism that is independent of IGF‐1. J. Cell.

Abstract
Damage to cartilage causes a loss of type II collagen (Col-II) and glycosaminoglycans
(GAG). To restore the original cartilage architecture, cell factors that stimulate
Col-II and GAG production are needed. Insulin-like growth factor I
(IGF-I) and transcription factor SOX9are
essential for the synthesis of cartilage matrix, chondrocyte proliferation, and
phenotype maintenance. We evaluated the combined effect of IGF-I and
SOX9 transgene expression on Col-II and GAG production by
cultured human articular chondrocytes. Transient transfection and cotransfection were
performed using two mammalian expression plasmids (pCMV-SPORT6), one for each
transgene. At day 9 post-transfection, the chondrocytes that were over-expressing
IGF-I/SOX9 showed 2-fold increased mRNA
expression of the Col-II gene, as well as a 57% increase in Col-II
protein, whereas type I collagen expression (Col-I) was decreased by
59.3% compared with controls. The production of GAG by these cells increased
significantly compared with the controls at day 9 (3.3- vs
1.8-times, an increase of almost 83%). Thus,
IGF-I/SOX9 cotransfected chondrocytes may be
useful for cell-based articular cartilage therapies.

Abstract
This study examined whether IGF-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) is involved in the high glucose-induced deteriorating effects in cardiac cells. Cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes were isolated from the hearts of 1- to 3-day-old Sprague Dawley rats. Treatment of fibroblasts with 25 mM glucose increased the number of cells and the mRNA levels of collagen III, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), and MMP9. High glucose increased ERK1/2 activity, and the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 suppressed high glucose-mediated fibroblast proliferation and increased collagen III mRNA levels. Whereas high glucose increased both mRNA and protein levels of IGFBP5 in fibroblasts, high glucose did not affect IGFBP5 protein levels in cardiomyocytes. The high glucose-induced increase in IGFBP5 protein levels was inhibited by PD98059 in fibroblasts. While recombinant IGFBP5 increased ERK phosphorylation, cell proliferation, and the mRNA levels of collagen III, MMP2, and MMP9 in fibroblasts, IGFBP5 increased c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation and induced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. The knockdown of IGFBP5 inhibited high glucose-induced cell proliferation and collagen III mRNA levels in fibroblasts. Although high glucose increased IGF1 levels, IGF1 did not increase IGFBP5 levels in fibroblasts. The hearts of Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats and the cardiac fibroblasts of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats showed increased IGFBP5 expression. These results suggest that IGFBP5 mediates high glucose-induced profibrotic effects in cardiac fibroblasts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The etiology of Condylar hyperplasia (CH) of human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) remains largely unknown. Our previous study has demonstrated that enriched insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) was expressed in the proliferation and hypertrophic layers of CH cartilage. Accordingly, this study was aimed to investigate whether IGF-1 regulates CH chondrocytes proliferation in condylar cartilage overgrowth and explore the molecular mechanism of IGF-1 involved in. METHODS Chondrocytes were isolated from 6 CH and 3 normal cartilage (NC) specimens and cultured in alginate beads or monolayer, treated with IGF-1 or specific inhibitors such as 7-[trans-3-[(azetidin-1-yl)methyl]cyclobutyl]-5-(3-benzyloxyphenyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (NVP-AEW541), U0126, and LY294002. Thereafter, cellular proliferation capacity was evaluated by Cell Viability Analyzer (alginate beads culture) or 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazo(-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) (monolayer culture). Gene expression levels of IGF-1, IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R), collagen type II, type X and those genes associated with proliferation were evaluated by realtime PCR. Protein levels of IGF-1 and IGF-1R synthesized by CH chondrocytes were accessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and western blotting. RESULTS CH chondrocytes enhanced cellular proliferation capacity and expressed significantly higher levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expressions of IGF-1 and IGF-1R, as compared with NC chondrocytes. Furthermore, enriched IGF-1 enhanced CH chondrocytes proliferation, up-regulated the expressions of specific genes associated with cellular proliferation and elevated the gene expression of collagen type II A1 (COL2A1). Besides, IGF-1-mediated CH chondrocytes proliferation mainly depended on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-ERK pathway. CONCLUSIONS IGF-1 promotes human TMJ cartilage overgrowth in the developing process of CH by enhancing chondrocytes proliferation via MAPK-ERK pathway.

Abstract
The protein kinase C (PKC) family of enzymes regulates cell physiology through phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues of many proteins in most cell types. Here we identify PKC-β1 and PKC-γ as isoforms that are essential for rod photoreceptor differentiation in mouse retinas. Using ex vivo retinal explants, we found that phorbol ester 12-myristate 13-acetate and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) induced rod differentiation, as defined by opsin or Crx expression, in a PKC-dependent manner days ahead of rod development in untreated explants. PKC-β1 and PKC-γ were colocalized with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)- and STAT3-positive progenitors through the later differentiation period. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of either isoform resulted in a partial reduction in the appearance of rods, whereas removing both isoforms resulted in their complete absence. Furthermore, a significant decline of STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation was observed by activation of PKC, while inhibition of PKC resulted in an increase of phosphorylated STAT3 along with a delayed cell cycle exit of progenitors with prolonged PCNA expression. In adult retinas, IGF1 activates PI-3 kinase (PI3K), but in neonatal retinas its action is identical to the action of an PI3K inhibitor. These data unveil a novel signaling cascade that coordinates and regulates rod differentiation through specific PKC isoforms in mammals.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) are critical regulators of the mitogenic activity of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). IGFBP5, one of these IGFBPs, has special structural features, including a nuclear transport domain, heparin-binding motif, and IGF/extracellular matrix/acid-labile subunit-binding sites. Furthermore, IGFBP5 has several functional effects on carcinogenesis and even normal cell processes, such as cell growth, death, motility, and tissue remodeling. These biological effects are sometimes related with IGF (IGF-dependent effects) and sometimes not (IGF-independent effects). The functional role of IGFBP5 is most likely determined in a cell-type and tissue-type specific manner but also depends on cell context, especially in terms of the diversity of interacting proteins and the potential for nuclear localization. Clinical findings show that IGFBP5 has the potential to be a useful clinical biomarker for predicting response to therapy and clinical outcome of cancer patients. In this review, we summarize the functional diversity and clinical importance of IGFBP5 in different types of cancers.

Abstract
Chondrocytes from the lateral trochlear ridge of the distal femur taken from 1-day-old piglets were cultured in medium supplemented with 0, 7.8, 15.6, 31.2, and 62.5 μmol/L copper. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) levels in culture medium were determined by radioimmunoassay. DNA synthesis in chondrocytes was measured by tritiated thymidine ((3)H-TdR) incorporation. Proliferation-promoting activity and incorporation of (3)H-TdR in chondrocytes were increased in all culture media supplemented with copper and 15% fetal calf serum (FCS). The contents of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 were also enhanced significantly in culture media containing 15% FCS and supplemented with copper at 15.6, 31.2, and 62.5 μmol/L. The optimal copper concentration for promoting chondrocyte proliferation and autocrine secretion of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 was 31.2 μmol/L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To the best of our knowledge, no studies to date have evaluated roles of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) polymorphisms in risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). METHODS A hospital-based study of 1082 patients with SCCHN and 1120 cancer-free controls was performed to investigate associations between 2 functional polymorphisms, -1195T>C and -709G>C, in the IGFBP5 promoter region and SCCHN risk. RESULTS We demonstrated that the transcription factor, activator protein 1 (AP-1), differentially bound to T or C variants at -1195 in the promoter to regulate the IGFBP5 promoter activity and that the C variant genotypes were associated with deferential risk of late-stage SCCHN, compared to the TT genotype, particularly for human papillomavirus (HPV)-unrelated sites (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-4.11 for CC vs TT). CONCLUSION The IGFBP5 -1195T>C polymorphism is functional and may potentially be a biomarker for susceptibility to late-stage SCCHN.

Abstract
We measured the mRNA transcript expression patterns for members of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system during embryonic and postnatal development in epiphyseal cartilage from Langshan (LS) and Arbor Acres (AA) chickens. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2 expression was positively correlated with IGF-I from embryonic day (E) 14 to postnatal d (P) 0 and with IGF-II from E14 to P14 but negatively correlated with IGF-I from P0 to P42 and IGF-II from P14 to P42. Expression of IGFBP-5 correlated positively with IGF-I from E14 to P0 but negatively from P0 to P28. The results suggest that these genes are regulated in a coordinated fashion during development. A negative correlation was found between IGFBP-7 and IGF-II during P0 to P42. A positive correlation was found between IGFBP-3 (E14 to E18, P14 to P42) and IGF-IR and between IGFBP-3 (E14 to P0, P14 to P42) and IGF-I. The endocrine factors can be integrated with nutrition to regulate animal growth. In our study, AA chickens were fed a nutrient-rich AA diet, and LS chickens were fed either an AA diet or a less-rich diet. The LS and AA chickens fed the same AA diet showed no differences in IGF-I, IGF-I receptor, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-5, IGFBP-7, and IGFBP-3 but did still show differences in IGF-II. Our data indicate that these select genes may show linked expression during certain periods of development and that differences in gene expression respond differently to nutrient intake in LS and AA chickens.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone regulates terminal differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes in part through modulation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been described as a stabilizer of beta-catenin, and thyroid hormone is a known stimulator of IGF-1 receptor expression. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that IGF-1 signaling is involved in the interaction between the thyroid hormone and the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathways in regulating growth plate chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. The results show that IGF-1 and the IGF- receptor (IGF1R) stimulate Wnt-4 expression and beta-catenin activation in growth plate chondrocytes. The positive effects of IGF-1/IGF1R on chondrocyte proliferation and terminal differentiation are partially inhibited by the Wnt antagonists sFRP3 and Dkk1. T(3) activates IGF-1/IGF1R signaling and IGF-1-dependent PI3K/Akt/GSK-3beta signaling in growth plate chondrocytes undergoing proliferation and differentiation to prehypertrophy. T(3)-mediated Wnt-4 expression, beta-catenin activation, cell proliferation, and terminal differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes are partially prevented by the IGF1R inhibitor picropodophyllin as well as by the PI3K/Akt signaling inhibitors LY294002 and Akti1/2. These data indicate that the interactions between thyroid hormone and beta-catenin signaling in regulating growth plate chondrocyte proliferation and terminal differentiation are modulated by IGF-1/IGF1R signaling through both the Wnt and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. While chondrocyte proliferation may be triggered by the IGF-1/IGF1R-mediated PI3K/Akt/GSK3beta pathway, cell hypertrophy is likely due to activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which is at least in part initiated by IGF-1 signaling or the IGF-1-activated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Muscle wasting in chronic kidney disease (CKD) begins with impaired insulin/IGF-1 signaling, causing abnormal protein metabolism. In certain models of muscle atrophy, reduced satellite cell function contributes to atrophy, but how CKD affects satellite cell function is unknown. Here, we found that isolated satellite cells from mice with CKD had less MyoD, the master switch of satellite cell activation, and suppressed myotube formation compared with control mice. In vivo, CKD delayed the regeneration of injured muscle and decreased MyoD and myogenin expression, suggesting that CKD impairs proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells. In isolated satellite cells from control mice, IGF-1 increased the expression of myogenic genes through an Akt-dependent pathway. CKD impaired Akt phosphorylation in satellite cells after muscle injury. To test whether impaired IGF-1 signaling could be responsible for decreased satellite cell function in CKD, we created an inducible IGF-1 receptor knockout mouse and found impaired satellite cell function and muscle regeneration. In addition, both CKD and IGF-1 receptor knockout mice developed fibrosis in regenerating muscles. Taken together, impaired IGF-1 signaling in CKD not only leads to abnormal protein metabolism in muscle but also impairs satellite cell function and promotes fibrosis in regenerating muscle. These signaling pathways may hold potential therapeutic targets to reduce CKD-related muscle wasting.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that bovine epiphyseal chondrocytes separated by density gradient centrifugation differ in proliferative response to IGF-I and IGF-I receptor number. To identify novel modifiers of IGF-I action at the growth plate, we used microarray analyses to compare bovine hypertrophic and reserve zones and identified several receptors differentially expressed across the growth plate: NTRK2 [receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)], KIT [receptor for stem cell factor (SCF)], and MER and AXL [two receptors for growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6)]. The corresponding ligands were tested for their ability to stimulate either proliferation of isolated chondrocytes or differentiation in ATDC5 cells. Each factor inhibited IGF-I-mediated proliferation in isolated chondrocytes by attenuating ERK1/2 activation. SCF, BDNF, Gas6, and C-type natriuretic peptide promoted differentiation in ATDC5 cells, each factor producing different expression patterns for collagen X, collagen 2, aggrecan, and lysyl oxidase. Whereas multiple factors stimulated ATDC5 differentiation, only IGF-I and high-dose insulin, out of several factors implicated in chondrocyte maturation, stimulated proliferation of isolated chondrocytes. IGF-I appears to be the primary proliferative signal in growth plate chondrocytes, whereas multiple factors including SCF, BDNF, and Gas6 regulate the pace of differentiation at the growth plate.

Abstract
A family of IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) exerts biological actions both dependent on and independent of IGF-I. A major effector of the insulin/IGF-I signaling pathway, the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt, mediates cellular processes such as glucose uptake, protein synthesis, cell survival, and growth. IGF-I is required for normal organismal growth, and in the pancreatic beta-cell, the insulin/IGF-I signaling pathway is critical for normal and adaptive maintenance of beta-cell mass. Expression of myrAkt1, an activated form of Akt, in the endocrine pancreas drives beta-cell expansion through dramatic increases in both islet and beta-cell size and number. Herein we present a comparative expression profiling of myrAkt1 transgenic islets that demonstrates the increased abundance of transcripts encoding proteins associated with growth, suppression of apoptosis, RNA processing, and metabolism. Although IGFBP5 is identified as a gene induced by Akt1 activation in the beta-cell, Igfbp5 expression is not necessary for myrAkt1 to augment beta-cell size or mass in vivo. However, in the absence of Igfbp5, mice demonstrate an increase in size and mild glucose intolerance. This is accentuated during diet-induced obesity, when Igfbp5-deficient mice have increased adiposity compared with wild-type mice on the same diet. These studies reveal a novel role for Igfbp5 in the control of growth and metabolism.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play a vital role in regulating the biological activities of IGFs. In this study, we cloned and determined full-length cDNA sequences of yellowtail IGFBP-1, -2, -3 and -5. Their tissue distribution was determined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, which revealed that IGFBP-1, -2, -3 and -5 are widely distributed in yellowtail tissues. In yellowtail, both IGFBP-1 and -2 are highly expressed in the liver, IGFBP-3 is predominantly expressed in the heart and skin, with the lowest expression in the liver, and IGFBP-5 is highly expressed in the liver and kidneys. The widespread tissue expression of the yellowtail IGFBPs suggests that they may act in an autocrine and/or paracrine manner in the regulation of IGF activity. The effects of nutritional deprivation on yellowtail IGFBPs and IGF-I were also examined. During a 15-day starvation period, significant elevation was observed in hepatic yellowtail IGFBP-1. Refeeding restored its level to that of the control. No significant change was observed in the hepatic yellowtail IGFBP-2 mRNA levels in starved fish compared with control fish during the starvation period. Interestingly, during the early period of food deprivation, a significant increase was observed in hepatic yellowtail IGFBP-3 and -5 mRNA levels, concomitant to the significant elevation in hepatic IGF-I mRNA from day 3 to day 9. The unexpected increase in growth stimulatory IGFBPs and IGF-I during nutritional deprivation may represent a species-specific response to changes in nutritional condition.

Abstract
IGF-I action is essential for the regulation of tissue formation and remodeling, bone growth, prenatal growth, brain development, and muscle metabolism. Cellular effects of IGF-I are mediated through the IGF-I receptor, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates intracellular substrates, resulting in the activation of multiple intracellular signaling cascades. Dysregulation of IGF-I actions due to impairment in the postreceptor signaling machinery may contribute to multiple diseases in humans. This article will review current information on IGF-I signaling and illustrate recent results demonstrating how impaired IGF-I signaling and action may contribute to the pathogenesis of human diseases, including osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disorders, and reduced fetal growth in utero.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is an important regulator of endochondral ossification. However, little is known about the signaling pathways activated by IGF-I in growth plate chondrocytes. We have previously shown that NF-kappaB-p65 facilitates growth plate chondrogenesis. In this study, we first cultured rat metatarsal bones with IGF-I and/or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a known NF-kappaB inhibitor. The IGF-I-mediated stimulation of metatarsal growth and growth plate chondrogenesis was neutralized by PDTC. In rat growth plate chondrocytes, IGF-I induced NF-kappaB-p65 nuclear translocation. The inhibition of NF-kappaB-p65 expression and activity (by p65 short interfering RNA and PDTC, respectively) in chondrocytes reversed the IGF-I-mediated induction of cell proliferation and differentiation and the IGF-I-mediated prevention of cell apoptosis. Moreover, the inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Akt abolished the effects of IGF-I on NF-kappaB activation. In conclusion, our findings indicate that IGF-I stimulates growth plate chondrogenesis by activating NF-kappaB-p65 in chondrocytes.

Abstract
The IGF/IGF binding protein (IGFBP) system is an important component in the hormonal regulation of longitudinal growth. Evidence from in vitro studies indicates that IGFBPs may have IGF-independent effects. We analyzed the biological activity of intact IGFBP-2 and defined carboxy-terminal IGFBP-2 fragments isolated from human hemofiltrate in two cell culture systems of the growth plate: rat growth plate chondrocytes in primary culture and the mesenchymal chondrogenic cell line RCJ3.1C5.18. The IGFBP-2 fragments IGFBP-2(167-279), IGFBP-2(167-289), and IGFBP-2(104-289) exerted a strong (2- to 3-fold) mitogenic effect on growth plate chondrocytes, which was comparable with IGF-I in equimolar concentrations (7.8 nm) but was not mediated through the type 1 IGF receptor. In a dose-response experiment, the most effective concentration of IGFBP-2(104-289) for the stimulation of cell proliferation was 10 nm. This biological activity of IGFBP-2 fragments was associated with cell membrane binding, demonstrated by Western blot analysis of fractionated cell lysates and immunohistochemistry. Whereas intact IGFBP-2 did not modulate chondrocyte proliferation, partially reduced (by dithiothreitol) full-length IGFBP-2 stimulated cell proliferation to a comparable extent (3.4-fold) as carboxy-terminal IGFBP-2 fragments. The mitogenic activity of these IGFBP-2 fragments and of partially reduced full-length IGFBP-2 was mediated through the use of the MAPK/ERK 1/2. These data imply a novel role of naturally occurring IGFBP-2 fragments for the endocrine and paracrine/autocrine regulation of longitudinal growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma or degenerative diseases of the joints are common clinical problems resulting in high morbidity. Although various orthopedic treatments have been developed and evaluated, the low repair capacities of articular cartilage renders functional results unsatisfactory in the long term. Over the last decade, a different approach (tissue engineering) has emerged that aims not only to repair impaired cartilage, but also to fully regenerate it, by combining cells, biomaterials mimicking extracellular matrix (scaffolds) and regulatory signals. The latter is of high importance as growth factors have the potency to induce, support or enhance the growth and differentiation of various cell types towards the chondrogenic lineage. Therefore, the controlled release of different growth factors from scaffolds appears to have great potential to orchestrate tissue repair effectively. OBJECTIVE This review aims to highlight considerations and limitations of the design, materials and processing methods available to create scaffolds, in relation to the suitability to incorporate and release growth factors in a safe and defined manner. Furthermore, the current state of the art of signalling molecules release from scaffolds and the impact on cartilage regeneration in vitro and in vivo is reported and critically discussed. METHODS The strict aspects of biomaterials, scaffolds and growth factor release from scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering applications are considered. CONCLUSION Engineering defined scaffolds that deliver growth factors in a controlled way is a task seldom attained. If growth factor delivery appears to be beneficial overall, the optimal delivery conditions for cartilage reconstruction should be more thoroughly investigated.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF2) is essential for fetal development as well as maintenance of adult organs such as brain and liver. Although genetic polymorphisms of IGF2 are linked to cytoskeletal variations little is known about the mechanisms of IGF2 action in proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes for skeletal growth. A genome-wide mRNA expression analysis using C28/I2 chondrocyte cells studied potential signaling pathways underlying the responses to IGF2. Microarray data predicted involvement of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) signaling pathways. Protein analyses revealed IGF2 administration activated phosphorylation of Akt and GSK3beta in the PI3K pathway. LY294002 (selective inhibitor of PI3K) blocked Akt phosphorylation and abolished IGF2-driven elevation of the mRNA levels of the proteoglycans, Aggrecan and Versican. LY294002 did not suppress upregulation of TGFbeta mRNA induced by IGF2, so IGF2 activates PI3K and TGFbeta pathways. IGF2-driven transcriptional activation of proteoglycan genes such as Aggrecan and Versican is mediated by the PI3K pathway.

Abstract
Endogenous insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is known to affect the growth and development of condylar cartilage. However, the critical effect of IGF-I on cell survival is still unknown. We hypothesized that endogenous IGF-I could regulate the survival of cells of the mandibular condylar cartilage. Mandibular condyles dissected from 12-day-old rats were cultured for 1, 3, and 5 days in medium containing antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AS-ODN) for IGF-I. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that the levels of IGF-I and IGF binding protein (IGFBP)3 mRNAs in the AS-ODN group were significantly decreased. After 3 days' culture, the number of necrotic cells was observed in the undifferentiated mesenchymal cell layer. These cells were TUNEL-positive and confirmed to be apoptotic by electron microscopic observation. Immunoblotting revealed that expression of cleaved caspase3 was increased with AS-ODN. These results may suggest that the cells in the undifferentiated mesenchymal cell layer of the mandibular condyle require IGF-I for survival.

Abstract
IGF-I regulates bone acquisition and maintenance, even though the cellular targets and signaling pathways responsible for its action in human bone cells are poorly understood. Whether abnormalities in IGF-I action and signaling occur in human osteoblasts under conditions of net bone loss has not been determined. Herein we carried out a comparative analysis of IGF-I signaling in primary cultures of human osteoblasts from osteoporotic and control donors. In comparison with control cells, osteoporotic osteoblasts showed increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the IGF-I receptor in the basal state and blunted stimulation of receptor phosphorylation by IGF-I. Augmentation of basal IGF-I receptor phosphorylation was associated with coordinate increases in basal tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-2 and activation of Erk, which were also minimally responsive to IGF-I stimulation. By contrast, phosphorylation levels of IRS-1, Akt, and glycogen synthase kinase-3 were similar in the basal state in control and osteoporotic osteoblasts and showed marked increases after IGF-I stimulation in both cell populations, even though these responses were significantly lower in the osteoporotic osteoblasts. The IGF-I signaling abnormalities in osteoporotic osteoblasts were associated with reduced DNA synthesis both under basal conditions and after stimulation with IGF-I. Interestingly, treatment of the osteoporotic osteoblasts with the MAPK kinase inhibitor PD098059 reduced the elevated levels of Erk phosphorylation and increased basal DNA synthesis. Collectively, our data show that altered osteoblast proliferation in human osteoporosis may result from dysregulation of IGF-I receptor signaling, including constitutive activation of the IRS-2/Erk signaling pathway, which becomes unresponsive to IGF-I, and defective induction of the IRS-1/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer frequently metastasizes to bone. Androgen suppression treatment is initially highly effective, but eventually results in resistant cancer cells. This study evaluates the effects of androgen suppression on the bone and bone marrow (BM). In particular we questioned whether the androgen therapy could adversely facilitate prostate cancer progression through an increase growth factor secretion by the bone microenvironment. METHODS Global gene expression is analyzed on mPEDB DNA microarrays. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP5) is detected by immunohistochemistry in mouse tissues and its regulation measured by qPCR and Western blotting in human BM stromal cells. Effects of extracellular matrix-associated IGFBP5 on human prostate epithelial cells are tested in an MTS cell-growth assay. RESULTS Castration increases expression of 159 genes (including 4 secreted cytokines) and suppresses expression of 84 genes. IGFBP5 is most consistently increased and the increase in expression is reversed by testosterone administration. IGFBP5 protein is detected in vivo in osteoblasts, BM stromal cells, and endothelial cells. Primary human stromal cell cultures secrete IGFBP5. In vitro, treatment of immortalized human marrow stromal cells with charcoal-stripped serum increases IGFBP5 mRNA expression, which is reversed by androgen supplementation. IGFBP5 is incorporated into the extracellular matrix. Further, IGFBP5 immobilized on extracellular matrices of stromal cells enhances the growth of immortalized prostate epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS Androgen suppressive therapy increases IGFBP5 in the BM microenvironment and thereby may facilitate the progression of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Short stature due to SHOX deficiency represents a common congenital form of growth failure and is involved in the aetiology of 'idiopathic' short stature and the growth deficits and skeletal anomalies in Leri-Weill, Langer and Turner syndromes. Although much is known on the clinical and molecular aspects of SHOX haploinsufficiency, the integration of SHOX in the signalling pathways regulating bone growth is currently not defined. Here we identify NPPB encoding the natriuretic peptide, BNP, a well-known cardiac and natriuretic peptide hormone, as a transcriptional target of SHOX. The ability of SHOX to transactivate the NPPB endogenous promoter was demonstrated in luciferase reporter assays using serial deletions of the NPPB promotor region. Binding of SHOX to the NPPB promoter was also demonstrated in vivo by chromatin fixation and immunoprecipitation. We also demonstrate the lack of promoter activation in two SHOX mutants from patients with Leri-Weill syndrome. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis of human growth plate sections showed for the first time a co-expression of BNP and SHOX in late proliferative and hypertrophic chondrocytes. Together these data strongly suggest that BNP represents a direct target of SHOX.

Abstract
Components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system were investigated in chondrocytes isolated from the avian growth plate. The genes for IGF-I, IGF-II, type 1 IGF receptor (IGF-R), IGF binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2), IGFBP-3, IGFBP-5 and IGFBP-7 were found to be expressed in both proliferative and hypertrophic chondrocytes. The expression of IGF-II in proliferative chondrocytes was extremely high relative to IGF-I. Although IGF-I expression was significantly increased in hypertrophic chondrocytes, the level was still low relative to IGF-II. In cell culture, IGF-I stimulated proteoglycan synthesis and increased the expression of Indian hedgehog (Ihh) and type X collagen, markers of chondrocyte differentiation. IGF-II was found to be equally efficacious in stimulating proteoglycan biosynthesis. These observations suggest that IGF-II may play a significant role in avian growth plate physiology, which is consistent with several reports on mammalian endochondral bone growth.

Abstract
Of the many factors that regulate linear growth, IGF-I has a central role in epiphyseal chondrocyte development. Whether IGF-I is solely of systemic or also of local origin is uncertain, as is how other growth factors interact with IGF-I at the growth plate. We studied the proliferative effects of IGF-I on juvenile bovine epiphyseal chondrocytes fractionated by density gradient centrifugation. Cell density correlated with size, glycogen content, and gene expression patterns. There was a gradient of response to IGF-I, with the greatest proliferative response in high-density cells corresponding to the reserve zone, as measured by [3H]thymidine uptake. Low-density (hypertrophic zone) cells proliferated only when exposed to IGF-I and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF). The gradient of IGF-I response correlated with [125I]IGF-I binding as determined by Scatchard analysis: IGF-I receptor number was 10-fold greater in reserve zone cells than in hypertrophic cells. When exposed to basic FGF for 24 hours, IGF-I binding in hypertrophic cells increased 3-fold. In contrast, no specific binding of GH was demonstrated in juvenile bovine chondrocytes. GH produced neither signal transducer and activator of transcription phosphorylation, increased proliferation, nor increased IGF-I mRNA levels in any chondrocyte fraction. IGF-I mRNA levels were extremely low at 800-1100 copies/microg 18S RNA in bovine chondrocytes. These results suggest that the major regulator of chondrocyte proliferation is systemic IGF-I; FGFs may influence the actions of IGF-I at the growth plate by altering its receptor number in chondrocytes.

Abstract
Growth failure is a common yet complex problem of childhood chronic kidney disease caused by multiple factors encountered due to the primary disease or secondary to the renal impairment. This review seeks to describe the various patho-physiological mechanisms contributing to growth failure in the various stages of childhood with particular emphasis on nutritional problems and endocrine dysfunction encountered whilst managing these children. In addition, we shall examine the role of body composition in chronic kidney disease, their relationship with growth and nutrition and the potential effect of abnormalities in fat mass and lean mass on long-term morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
The actions of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-system are controlled by six IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). The IGFBPs are thought to affect local effects of IGF-I and IGF-II due to higher affinity if compared to IGF-I receptors and due to cell-type specific IGFBP expression patterns. It was found in IGFBP knockout models that the IGFBP family is functionally redundant. Thus, functional analysis of potential effects of IGFBPs is dependent on descriptive studies and models of IGFBP overexposure in vitro and in vivo. In the literature, the role of the IGFBPs for bone growth is highly controversial and, to date, no systematic look has been taken at IGFBPs resolving functional aspects of IGFBPs at levels of cell types and specific locations within bones. Since IGFBPs are thought to represent local modulators of the IGF actions and also exert IGF-independent effects, this approach is particularly reasonable on a physiological level. By sorting the huge number of in part controversial results on IGFBP effects in bone present in the literature for distinct cell types and bone sites it is possible to generate a focused, more specific and a less controversial picture of IGFBP functions in bone.

Abstract
It is well established that insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is critical for the regulation of peak bone mineral density (BMD) and bone width. However, the role of systemic vs. local IGF-I is not well understood. To determine the role local IGF-I plays in regulating BMD and bone width, we crossed IGF-I flox/flox mice with procollagen, typeIIalphaI-Cre mice to generate conditional mutants in which chondrocyte-derived IGF-I was disrupted. Bone parameters were measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry at 2, 4, 8, and 12 wk of age and peripheral quantitative computed tomography at 12 wk of age. Body length, areal BMD, and bone mineral content (BMC) were reduced (P < 0.05) between 4 and 12 wk in the conditional mutant mice. Bone width was reduced 7% in the vertebrae and femur (P < 0.05) of conditional mutant mice at 12 wk. Gains in body length and total body BMC and BMD were reduced by 27, 22, and 18%, respectively (P < 0.05) in conditional mutant mice between 2 and 4 wk of age. Expression of parathyroid hormone related protein, parathyroid hormone receptor, distal-less homeobox (Dlx)-5, SRY-box containing gene-9, and IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-5 were reduced 27, 36, 45, 33, and 45%, respectively, in the conditional mutant cartilage (P < 0.05); however, no changes in Indian hedgehog, Dlx-3, growth hormone receptor, IGF-I receptor, and IGFBP-3 expression were observed (P > or = 0.20). In conclusion, IGF-I from cells expressing procollagen type IIalphaI regulates bone accretion that occurs during postnatal growth period.

Abstract
Many tumors have chronically elevated activity of PI 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathways, caused largely by oncogenic mutation of PI 3-kinase itself or loss of the opposing tumor suppressor lipid phosphatase, PTEN. Several PI 3-kinase-dependent feedback mechanisms have been identified that may affect the sensitivity of upstream receptor signaling, but the events required to initiate an inhibited state have not been addressed. We show that in a variety of cell types, loss of PTEN via experimental knockdown or in tumor cell lines correlates with a block in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1)/insulin signaling, without affecting the sensitivity of platelet-derived growth factor or epidermal growth factor signaling. These effects on IGF/insulin signaling include a reduction of up to five- to tenfold in IGF-stimulated PI 3-kinase activation, a failure to activate the ERK kinases and, in some cells, reduced expression of insulin receptor substrate 1, and both IGF1 and insulin receptors. These data indicate that chronically elevated PI 3-kinase-dependent signaling to the degree seen in many tumors causes a selective loss of sensitivity in IGF1/insulin signaling that could significantly reduce the selective advantage of deregulated activation of IGF1/IGF1-R signaling in tumor development.

Abstract
Ligands of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R), known to be important for supporting tissue development particularly in the gut and brain, have also been implicated in regulating postnatal somatic growth. Although optimal levels of both milk-borne and endogenous EGF-R ligands are important for supporting postnatal somatic growth through regulating gastrointestinal growth and maturation, supraphysiological levels of EGF-R ligands can cause retarded and disproportionate growth and alter body composition because they can increase growth of epithelial tissues but decrease masses of muscle, fat, and bone. Apart from their indirect roles in influencing growth, possibly via regulating levels of IGF-I and IGF binding proteins, EGF-R ligands can regulate bone growth and modeling directly because they can enhance proliferation but suppress maturation of growth plate chondrocytes (for building a calcified cartilage scaffold for bone deposition), stimulate proliferation but inhibit differentiation of osteoblasts (for depositing bone matrix), and promote formation and function of osteoclasts (for resorption of calcified cartilage or bone). In addition, EGF-like ligands, particularly amphiregulin, can be strongly regulated by PTH, an important regulatory factor in bone modeling and remodeling. Finally, EGF-R ligands can regulate bone homeostasis by regulating a pool of progenitor cells in the bone marrow through promoting proliferation but suppressing differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) signaling and functions are mediated through the activities of a complex molecular network of positive (e.g., type I IGF) and negative (e.g., the type II IGF receptor, IGF-IIR) effectors. Under normal physiological conditions, the balance between the expression and activities of these molecules is tightly controlled. Changes in this delicate balance (e.g., overexpression of one effector) may trigger a cascade of molecular events that can ultimately lead to malignancy. In recent years, evidence has been mounting that the IGF axis may be involved in human cancer progression and can be targeted for therapeutic intervention. Here we review old and more recent evidence on the role the IGF system in malignancy and highlight experimental and clinical studies that provide novel insights into the complex mechanisms that contribute to its oncogenic potential. Controversies arising from conflicting evidence on the relevance of IGF-IR and its ligands to human cancer are discussed. Our review highlights the importance of viewing the IGF axis as a complex multifactorial system and shows that changes in the expression levels of any one component of the axis, in a given malignancy, should be interpreted with caution and viewed in a wider context that takes into account the expression levels, state of activation, accessibility, and functionality of other interacting components. Because IGF targeting for anticancer therapy is rapidly becoming a clinical reality, an understanding of this complexity is timely because it is likely to have an impact on the design, mode of action, and clinical outcomes of newly developed drugs.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether catabolic stimuli that induce muscle atrophy alter the muscle mRNA abundance of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-4 and -5, and if so determine the physiological mechanism for such a change. Catabolic insults produced by endotoxin (LPS) and sepsis decreased IGFBP-5 mRNA time- and dose-dependently in gastrocnemius muscle. This reduction did not result from muscle disuse because hindlimb immobilization increased IGFBP-5. Continuous infusion of a nonlethal dose of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) decreased IGFBP-5 mRNA 70%, whereas pretreatment of septic rats with a neutralizing TNF binding protein completely prevented the reduction in muscle IGFBP-5. The addition of LPS or TNF-α to cultured C2C12myoblasts also decreased IGFBP-5 expression. Although exogenously administered growth hormone (GH) increased IGFBP-5 mRNA 2-fold in muscle from control rats, muscle from septic animals was GH resistant and no such elevation was detected. In contrast, exogenous administration of IGF-I as part of a binary complex composed of IGF-I/IGFBP-3 produced comparable increases in IGFBP-5 mRNA in both control and septic muscle. Concomitant determinations of IGF-I mRNA content revealed a positive linear relationship between IGF-I and IGFBP-5 mRNA in the same muscle in response to LPS, sepsis, TNF-α, and GH treatment. Although dexamethasone decreased muscle IGFBP-5, pretreatment of rats with the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU486 did not prevent the sepsis-induced decrease in IGFBP-5 mRNA. In contrast, muscle IGFBP-4 mRNA abundance was not significantly altered by LPS, sepsis, or hindlimb immobilization. In summary, these data demonstrate that various inflammatory insults decrease muscle IGFBP-5 mRNA, without altering IGFBP-4, by a TNF-dependent glucocorticoid-independent mechanism. Finally, IGF-I appears to be a dominant positive regulator of IGFBP-5 gene expression in muscle under both normal and catabolic conditions.

Abstract
The growth plate is an important target tissue for insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), but little is known about the regulation of the IGF system during the developmental sequence of chondrocytes. We therefore examined the expression profile of IGF system components in proliferating vs. differentiating growth plate chondrocytes by use of two cell culture models of the growth cartilage. In rat growth plate chondrocytes in primary culture, IGF-I expression increased twofold during the process of differentiation. IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) expression showed a biphasic pattern of with a twofold increase at the onset of differentiation and a downregulation in late differentiating chondrocytes to 25% of baseline levels; the expression patterns of IGFBP-2, -4 and -6 were not dependent on the developmental stage. In IGF- and IGFBP-3-deficient RCJ3.1C5.18 (RCJ) mesenchymal chondrogenic cells, IGFBP-2 and -6 synthesis declined by 50% during differentiation. IGFBP-5 expression was markedly upregulated during the process of differentiation in both cell culture models. Although IGFBP-5 overexpression did not have an IGF-independent effect on RCJ cell differentiation, it promoted IGF-I-enhanced differentiation of these cells. A potential mechanism for this effect is the specific increase of Akt phosphorylation in IGFBP-5-overexpressing cells in the presence of IGF-I, indicating an increased activity of the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase pathway. These data suggest that the developmental stage of the chondrocyte is an important determinant of IGF and IGFBP expression and imply a functional role for IGFBP-5 for upregulating IGF action during chondrocyte differentiation in vivo.
