MICROPUBLICATION BIOLOGY 2023; 2023:10.17912/micropub.biology.000955. [PMID: 37767364 PMCID: PMC10520728 DOI: 10.17912/micropub.biology.000955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
The African pygmy mouse ( Mus minutoides ) displays a dwarfism phenotype distinctive from closely related species. This study aimed to investigate the growth hormone receptor (Ghr) gene sequence in M. minutoides . We identified several amino acid variations, including the P469L mutation. Our findings suggest that this mutation affects Ghr protein functionality, decreasing Igf1 expression and contributing to the dwarfism observed in M. minutoides . Further studies utilizing genome editing technology are necessary to elucidate the mechanisms involved in mammalian body size determination.

Abstract
PURPOSE FDA approval of teprotumumab for thyroid eye disease in January 2020 reinforced interest in the pharmacologic potential of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its receptor, IGF-1R. Despite recent approval and adaptation for ophthalmic use, IGF-1R inhibitors are not a new therapeutic class. In 1986, Yamashita described aIR3, a monoclonal antibody to IGF-1R (anti-IGF-1R), that inhibited the effect of IGF-1 on growth hormone release. Given the widespread presence of IGF-1R, interrupting this receptor can lead to systemic physiologic effects, some adverse. We aim to review what is known about IGF-1/IGF-1R in the eye and consider the possible local side effects, unintended consequences, and potential uses of this medication class. METHODS A PubMed database search utilizing the keywords "insulin-like growth factor-1, eye, inhibitor, antibody, side effect" was performed to identify publications discussing IGF-1 in the human eye from January 2011 to August 2021. Criteria for acceptance included studies discussing human subjects or human tissue specifically related to the eye. RESULTS Out of a total of 230 articles, 47 were organized in 3 subject groups for discussion: thyroid-associated orbitopathy, cornea and the ocular surface, and the retina and neovascularization. Review of the literature demonstrated that IGF-1 affects growth and development of the eye, epithelial proliferation, retinal angiogenesis, inflammation, and is associated with thyroid-associated orbitopathy. CONCLUSIONS IGF-1R exists throughout in the human body, including the cornea, retina, and orbit. Research regarding ocular effects of IGF-1/IGF-1R outside thyroid eye disease is limited. Carefully designed studies and clinical assessments of patients undergoing treatment with anti-IGF-1R may identify ocular side effects and foster consideration of the role of anti-IGF-1R in ocular therapeutics. Given the increasing use of anti-IGF-1R antibodies, understanding their ocular effects, side effects, and potential systemic implications for use in disease is critical.

Safety of growth hormone replacement in survivors of cancer and intracranial and pituitary tumours: a consensus statement. Eur J Endocrinol 2022; 186:P35-P52. [PMID: 35319491 PMCID: PMC9066587 DOI: 10.1530/eje-21-1186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) has been used for over 35 years, and its safety and efficacy has been studied extensively. Experimental studies showing the permissive role of GH/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) in carcinogenesis have raised concerns regarding the safety of GH replacement in children and adults who have received treatment for cancer and those with intracranial and pituitary tumours. A consensus statement was produced to guide decision-making on GH replacement in children and adult survivors of cancer, in those treated for intracranial and pituitary tumours and in patients with increased cancer risk. With the support of the European Society of Endocrinology, the Growth Hormone Research Society convened a Workshop, where 55 international key opinion leaders representing 10 professional societies were invited to participate. This consensus statement utilized: (1) a critical review paper produced before the Workshop, (2) five plenary talks, (3) evidence-based comments from four breakout groups, and (4) discussions during report-back sessions. Current evidence reviewed from the proceedings from the Workshop does not support an association between GH replacement and primary tumour or cancer recurrence. The effect of GH replacement on secondary neoplasia risk is minor compared to host- and tumour treatment-related factors. There is no evidence for an association between GH replacement and increased mortality from cancer amongst GH-deficient childhood cancer survivors. Patients with pituitary tumour or craniopharyngioma remnants receiving GH replacement do not need to be treated or monitored differently than those not receiving GH. GH replacement might be considered in GH-deficient adult cancer survivors in remission after careful individual risk/benefit analysis. In children with cancer predisposition syndromes, GH treatment is generally contraindicated but may be considered cautiously in select patients.

The Olfactory Receptor Gene Product, OR5H2, Modulates Endometrial Cancer Cells Proliferation via Interaction with the IGF1 Signaling Pathway. Cells 2021; 10:cells10061483. [PMID: 34204736 PMCID: PMC8231575 DOI: 10.3390/cells10061483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in Western countries. The insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) axis has an important role in endometrial cancer biology and emerged as a promising therapeutic target in oncology. However, there is an urgent need to identify biomarkers that may help in patient stratification and prognosis. Laron syndrome (LS) is a type of dwarfism that results from the mutation of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene, leading to congenital IGF1 deficiency. While high circulating IGF1 is regarded as a risk factor in cancer, epidemiological studies have shown that LS patients are protected from cancer development. Recent genome-wide profilings conducted on LS-derived lymphoblastoid cells led to the identification of a series of genes whose over- or under-representation in this condition might be mechanistically linked to cancer protection. The olfactory receptor 5 subfamily H member 2 (OR5H2) was the top downregulated gene in LS, its expression level being 5.8-fold lower than in the control cells. In addition to their typical role in the olfactory epithelium, olfactory receptors (ORs) are expressed in multiple tissues and play non-classical roles in various pathologies, including cancer. The aim of our study was to investigate the regulation of OR5H2 gene expression by IGF1 in endometrial cancer. Data showed that IGF1 and insulin stimulate OR5H2 mRNA and the protein levels in uterine cancer cell lines expressing either a wild-type or a mutant p53. OR5H2 silencing led to IGF1R downregulation, with ensuing reductions in the downstream cytoplasmic mediators. In addition, OR5H2 knockdown reduced the proliferation rate and cell cycle progression. Analyses of olfr196 (the mouse orthologue of OR5H2) mRNA expression in animal models of GHR deficiency or GH overexpression corroborated the human data. In summary, OR5H2 emerged as a novel target for positive regulation by IGF1, with potential relevance in endometrial cancer.
