Abstract:
IGF2BP3 (also known as IMP3, KOC), a member of the insulin-like growth factor mRNA-binding protein family (IMPs), has been a research target in recent studies of promoting embryo development and exacerbating cancer. IGF2BP3 is ubiquitously expressed in early embryogenesis stages but limited in postembryonic stages, which is important in many physiological aspects such as stem cell renewal, morphological development and metabolism. A large number of studies show that IGF2BP3 interacts with many kinds of non-coding RNAs and proteins to promote cancer cell proliferation and metastasis and inhibit cancer cell apoptosis. As IGF2BP3 is highly expressed in advanced cancers and associated with poor overall survival rates of patients, it may be a potential molecular marker in cancer diagnosis for the detection of cancerous tissues and an indicator of cancer stages. Therefore, anti-IGF2BP3 drugs or monoclonal antibodies are expected as new therapeutic methods in cancer treatment. This review summarizes recent findings among IGF2BP3, RNA and proteins in cancer processes, with a focus on its cancer-promoting mechanisms and potential application as a new biomarker for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract:
At least a proportion of patients suffering from chronic inflammatory airway diseases respond poorly to the bronchodilator and corticosteroid therapies. There is a need for the development of improved anti-inflammatory treatment. Insulin Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) and insulin participate in not only metabolism and glucose homeostasis, but also many other physiological and pathophysiological processes, including growth and inflammation. Recently, it was shown that not only the classical IGF1 and IGF1 Receptor (IGF1R), but also the other molecules in the IGF1/insulin network, including insulin, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP), and IGFBP protease, have roles in chronic inflammatory airway diseases. This review aims to provide a comprehensive insight into recent endeavors devoted to the role of the IGF1/insulin network in chronic inflammatory airway diseases. Its participation in airway inflammation, remodeling, and hyper-responsiveness (AHR), as well as acute exacerbation, has been conclusively demonstrated. Its possible relation to glucocorticoid insensitivity has also been indicated. A better understanding of the IGF1/insulin network by further bench-to-bedside research may provide us with rational clinical therapeutic approaches against chronic inflammatory airway diseases.

Abstract:
The insulin signaling (IIS) pathway plays an important role in the metabolism, growth, development, reproduction, and longevity of an organism. As a key member of the IIS pathway, insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are widely distributed a family in invertebrates and vertebrates that are critical in various aspects of physiology. As an important mariculture species, the growth of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, is one of the most concerning characteristics in this area of study. In this study, we identified three IGFBP genes in the genome of L. vannamei and analyzed their gene structures, phylogenetics, and expression profiles. LvIGFBP1 was found to contain three domains (the insulin growth factor binding (IB) domain, the Kazal-type serine proteinase inhibitor (Kazal) domain, and the immunoglobulin C-2 (IGc2) domain), while LvIGFBP2 and LvIGFBP3 only contained a single IB domain. LvIGFBP1 exhibited high expression in most tissues and different developmental stages, while LvIGFBP2 and LvIGFBP3 were only slightly expressed in hemocytes. The RNA interference of LvIGFBP1 resulted in a significantly smaller increment of body weight than that of control groups. These results will improve our understanding of the conservative structure and function of IGFBPs and show potential applications for the growth of shrimp.

Abstract:
Abstract IGFs are required for normal prenatal and postnatal growth. Although actions of IGFs can be modulated by a family of IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) in vitro, these studies have identified a complicated pattern of stimulatory and inhibitory IGFBP effects, so that understanding relevant aspects of IGFBP action in vivo has been limited. Here we have produced a null mutation of one specific IGFBP, IGFBP-4, which is coexpressed with IGF-II early in development. Surprisingly, mutation of IGFBP-4, believed from in vitro studies to be exclusively inhibitory, leads to a prenatal growth deficit that is apparent from the time that the IGF-II growth deficit first arises, which strongly suggests that IGFBP-4 is required for optimal IGF-II-promoted growth during fetal development. Mice encoding a mutant IGFBP-4 protease (pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A), which facilitates IGF-II release from an inactive IGF-II/IGFBP-4 complex in vitro, are even smaller than IGFBP-4 mutant mice. However, the more modest IGFBP-4 growth deficit is completely restored in double IGFBP-4/pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A-deficient mice. Taken together these results indicate not only that IGFBP-4 functions as a local reservoir to optimize IGF-II actions needed for normal embryogenesis, but also establish that IGFBP-4 proteolysis is required to activate most, if not all, IGF-II mediated growth-promoting activity.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) exert both pro- and antiangiogenic functions by the release of cytokines or proteolytically generated angiogenic inhibitors from extracellular matrix and basement membrane remodeling. In the Mmp2 −/− mouse neovascularization is greatly reduced, but the mechanistic aspects of this remain unclear. Using isotope-coded affinity tag labeling of proteins analyzed by multidimensional liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry we explored proteome differences between Mmp2 −/− cells and those rescued by MMP-2 transfection. Proteome signatures that are hallmarks of proteolysis revealed cleavage of many known MMP-2 substrates in the cellular context. Proteomic evidence of MMP-2 processing of novel substrates was found. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6, follistatin-like 1, and cystatin C protein cleavage by MMP-2 was biochemically confirmed, and the cleavage sites in heparin affin regulatory peptide (HARP; pleiotrophin) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) were sequenced by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. MMP-2 processing of HARP and CTGF released vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from angiogenic inhibitory complexes. The cleaved HARP N-terminal domain increased HARP-induced cell proliferation, whereas the HARP C-terminal domain was antagonistic and decreased cell proliferation and migration. Hence the unmasking of cytokines, such as VEGF, by metalloproteinase processing of their binding proteins is a new mechanism in the control of cytokine activation and angiogenesis.

Abstract:
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is a dynamic network of proteins, which includes cognate ligands, membrane receptors, ligand binding proteins and functional downstream effectors. It plays a critical role in regulating several important physiological processes including cell growth, metabolism and differentiation. Importantly, alterations in expression levels or activation of components of the IGF network are implicated in many pathological conditions including diabetes, obesity and cancer initiation and progression. In this review we will initially cover some general aspects of IGF action and regulation in cancer and then focus in particular on the role of transcriptional regulators and novel interacting proteins, which functionally contribute in fine tuning IGF1R signaling in several cancer models. A deeper understanding of the biological relevance of this network of IGF1R modulators might provide novel therapeutic opportunities to block this system in neoplasia.

Abstract:
The majority of the genome is transcribed into pieces of non-(protein) coding RNA, among which long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a large group of particularly versatile molecules that govern basic cellular processes including transcription, splicing, RNA stability, and translation. The frequent deregulation of numerous lncRNAs in cancer is known to contribute to virtually all hallmarks of cancer. An important regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs is the post-transcriptional regulation mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). So far, however, only a small number of known cancer-associated lncRNAs have been found to be regulated by the interaction with RBPs like human antigen R (HuR), ARE/poly(U)-binding/degradation factor 1 (AUF1), insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1), and tristetraprolin (TTP). These RBPs regulate, by various means, two aspects in particular, namely the stability and the localization of lncRNAs. Importantly, these RBPs themselves are commonly deregulated in cancer and might thus play a major role in the deregulation of cancer-related lncRNAs. There are, however, still many open questions, for example regarding the context specificity of these regulatory mechanisms that, in part, is based on the synergistic or competitive interaction between different RBPs. There is also a lack of knowledge on how RBPs facilitate the transport of lncRNAs between different cellular compartments.

Abstract:
Precision-cut liver tissue slice (PCLS) contains all major cell types of the liver parenchyma and preserves the original cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts. It represents a promising ex vivo model to study liver fibrosis and test the antifibrotic effect of experimental compounds in a physiological environment. In this study using RNA sequencing, we demonstrated that various pathways functionally related to fibrotic mechanisms were dysregulated in PCLSs derived from rats subjected to bile duct ligation. The activin receptor-like kinase-5 (Alk5) inhibitor SB525334, nintedanib, and sorafenib each reversed a subset of genes dysregulated in fibrotic PCLSs, and of those genes we identified 608 genes whose expression was reversed by all three compounds. These genes define a molecular signature characterizing many aspects of liver fibrosis pathology and its attenuation in the model. A panel of 12 genes and 4 secreted biomarkers including procollagen I, hyaluronic acid (HA), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5), and WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP1) were further validated as efficacy end points for the evaluation of antifibrotic activity of experimental compounds. Finally, we showed that blockade of αV-integrins with a small molecule inhibitor attenuated the fibrotic phenotype in the model. Overall, our results suggest that the rat fibrotic PCLS model may represent a valuable system for target validation and determining the efficacy of experimental compounds. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We investigated the antifibrotic activity of three compounds, the activin receptor-like kinase-5 (Alk5) inhibitor SB525334, nintedanib, and sorafenib, in a rat fibrotic precision-cut liver tissue slice model using RNA sequencing analysis. A panel of 12 genes and 4 secreted biomarkers including procollagen I, hyaluronic acid (HA), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5), and WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP1) were then established as efficacy end points to validate the antifibrotic activity of the αV-integrin inhibitor CWHM12. This study demonstrated the value of the rat fibrotic PCLS model for the evaluation of antifibrotic drugs.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor (TNF) has a critical role in skeletal muscle atrophy. The catabolic effect of TNF is partially due to abrogation of the anabolic insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signalling pathway. However, the precise signalling events that lead to the loss of myofibrillar protein following activation of TNF receptor are unknown. The over arching aim of the study is to determine the mechanisms of by which TNF induces atrophy in differentiated muscles cells. To achieve this aim a series of experiments were performed to: 1) investigate the molecular events that lead to TNF mediated myofibre atrophy, 2) determine to what extent c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) signalling plays a part in TNF induced myotube atrophy, and in TNF-mediated inhibition of IGF-1 induced hypertrophy, and 3) use inhibitors of JNK to block the catabolic effects of TNF. 1) To investigate the molecular events that lead to TNF mediated myofibre atrophy, the experiments were conducted using C2C12 mouse myotube cultures and primary myotube cultures derived from FVB mice, and transgenic mice which over-express Class 2 IGF-1 Ea in skeletal muscles (IGF:C2). The treatment of mature C2C12 and FVB primary myotubes (respectively at 7 and 4 days after fusion medium) with 10 ng/mL of TNF for 3 days resulted in statistically significant myotube atrophy (decreased mean width). The observed TNF-mediated atrophy has not previously been demonstrated in tissue cultured myotubes. In contrast, addition of IGF-1 (20 ng/ml) to 7 day C2C12 myotubes for 3 days resulted in significant hypertrophy. ... The most suitable inhibitor was TAT-TIJIP and was thus used in subsequent studies. Inhibition of JNK activity by TAT-TIJIP was confirmed indirectly by detecting nuclear translocation of c- Jun, which is a downstream target of phosphorylated JNK. Immunohistochemical analyses showed nuclear localisation and phosphorylation of c-Jun in TNF treated myotubes. Nuclear localisation and phosphorylation of c-Jun was not observed in cultures pre-treated with TAT-TIJIP before TNF treatment, nor in the untreated control myotubes. 3) The use of JNK inhibitors to block the catabolic effects of TNF was tested using C2C12 and primary myotube cultures. Pre-treatment of C2C12 and primary FVB myotubes with the JNK inhibitor TAT-TIJIP, 30 min before TNF administration (for 3 days) prevented myotube atrophy. The mean width of myotubes pre-treated with TATTIJIP prior to TNF treatment closely resembled that of the control myotubes. Administration of TNF in combination with TAT-TIJIP for 3 days to C2C12 myotubes prevented myotube atrophy and unexpectedly resulted in hypertrophy when compared to the mean widths of untreated and TAT-TIJIP treated myotubes. This trend was also demonstrated in the FVB primary cultures. These combined results strongly support the role of JNK in TNF-mediated atrophy. Preliminary studies were carried out in vivo using the mdx mouse model of muscular dystrophy, TAT-TIJIP was administered via intraperitoneal injection to the mice for 3 days at a dose of 10 mg/ml, however the results form this study are inconclusive. These novel observations are of considerable interest to the field of muscle wasting because they demonstrate for the first time TNF-mediated myotube atrophy, the role of JNK in situations of TNF induced muscle atrophy, and explore the use of JNK inhibitors to prevent muscle atrophy.

Abstract:
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is composed of two ligands (IGF-1 and IGF-2), two receptors (IGF-1R and IGF-2R) and six binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6). IGFs act as endocrine, paracrine and autocrine growth factors and stimulate cell growth, proliferation and metabolism. There is extensive evidence, both from in vitro and in vivo models as well as population studies, that IGF physiology is relevant to neoplasia. IGF-1R is the physiologic receptor for both ligands and its activation elicits a plethora of changes at the cellular level, such as activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Ras/Raf/MAP kinase pathways. Given its role in the maintenance and promotion of neoplasia, the IGF system represents a potential target in the context of cancer therapy.Classically, IGFBPs have been described as carrier proteins for IGFs in the blood and other fluids. They can regulate IGF bioavailability both positively through increases in ligand half-life as well as negatively through competition with the IGF-1R for ligand binding. In addition to their classical roles, there is evidence suggesting that IGFBPs can act independently of IGFs by poorly characterized mechanisms. Additionally, epidemiologic studies have correlated overexpression of certain IGFBPs, in particular IGFBP-2, with poor prognosis in various cancers.Although the role of IGFBPs has been extensively studied in the context of both normal and malignant growth, this thesis describes several new aspects of IGFBPs in neoplasia. In the second chapter, we study the effect of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR cascade on IGFBP-2 gene expression in a breast cancer cell line in vitro. We demonstrate that activation of this pathway essentially leads to an Sp1-dependent increase in IGFBP-2 gene transcription. We further show that Sp-1 is phosphorylated upon PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway activation and accumulates in the nucleus. In the third chapter, we study the effects of 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) on IGF-1:IGFBP-3 complex formation. A recent publication suggested that 2-DG unexpectedly disrupted IGF-1:IGFBP-3 binding leading to increases in IGF-1R and AKT signaling in various cell lines. We show by three different techniques that neither 2-DG nor glucose affect IGF-1:IGFBP-3 complex formation. We additionally show that the 2-DG effects observed are not consistent between cell lines and likely the result of changes in intracellular signaling. In the fourth chapter, we study the effects of a novel therapeutic antibody (BI836845) with high affinity for both IGF-1 and IGF-2. In mouse serum samples ex vivo, we show that the addition of BI836845 leads to a shift of IGF-1 from the IGFBPs to the antibody. In vivo, we demonstrate that BI836845 binds the vast majority of IGF-1. Finally, we demonstrate that BI836845 induces a decrease in IGFBP-3 and an increase in growth hormone levels in C57 BL/6 mice.<br>L'ensemble du système de facteurs de croissance insulinomimétique (IGF) est composé de deux ligands (IGF-1 et IGF-2), de deux récepteurs (IGF- 1R et IGF-2R) et de six protéines de liaison (IGFBP-1 à 6). Les IGFs sont des hormones endocrines, paracrines et autocrines qui stimulent la croissance cellulaire, la prolifération et le métabolisme. Il existe un grand nombre d'études utilisant des approches épidémiologiques ou des modèles in vivo et in vitro qui démontrent l'importance des IGFs dans le contexte du cancer. Le IGF-1R est le récepteur physiologique des deux ligands et son activation mène à d'importants changements cellulaires tels que l'activation des voies de signalisation PI3K/AKT/mTOR et Ras/Raf/MAPK. Étant donné son rôle dans la promotion et dans la progression du cancer, le système des IGFs représente une cible potentielle pour le traitement du cancer. De façon classique, les protéines de liaison IGFBP ont été décrites comme de simples porteurs d'IGFs dans le sang et autres fluides. Les IGFBPs peuvent modifier la biodisponibilité des IGFs de façon positive en augmentant leur demi-vie ou de façon négative due à leur compétition avec le IGF-1R pour la liaison. En plus de leur rôle classique, il est de plus en plus évident que ces protéines peuvent agir de manière indépendante, mais les mécanismes impliqués restent flous. Également, il existe des études épidémiologiques qui ont corrélé la surexpression de IGFBPs, en particulier IGFBP-2, avec un pronostic défavorable dans plusieurs formes de cancer. Bien que le rôle des IGFBPs ait été largement étudié dans le contexte de la croissance normale et en néoplasie, la présente thèse révèle quelques nouveaux aspects de la physiologie des IGFBPs dans le contexte du cancer. En première partie, nous étudions l'effet de la voie de signalisation PI3K/AKT/mTOR sur l'expression du gène IGFBP-2 dans une lignée cellulaire de cancer du sein. Nous démontrons que l'activation de cette voie mène essentiellement à une augmentation de la transcription de ce gène de manière dépendante au facteur de transcription Sp-1. De plus, nous établissons que Sp-1 est phosphorylé par l'activation de la voie PI3K/AKT/mTOR et s'accumule dans le noyau. En deuxième partie, nous étudions les effets de la molécule 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) sur la liaison entre IGF-1 et IGFBP-3. Un récent article avait suggéré un effet inhibitoire de cette molécule sur la formation de complexes IGF -1 :IGFBP-3. Nous démontrons par trois méthodes différentes que 2-DG ou la molécule apparentée glucose n'ont aucun effet sur la liaison entre IGF-1 et IGFBP-3. De plus, nous démontrons que les effets cellulaires de 2-DG sur l'activation de la voie PI3K/AKT/mTOR observées par les auteurs de l'article en question ne sont pas universels et sont probablement le résultat de signaux intracellulaires. Finalement, en dernière partie, nous étudions les effets d'un nouvel anticorps thérapeutique nommé BI836845 qui possède une grande affinité pour IGF-1 et IGF-2. Dans des échantillons de sérum de souris ex vivo, nous démontrons que l'ajout de BI836845 déplace IGF-1 des complexes naturels contenant les IGFBPs vers des complexes contenant l'anticorps. In vivo, nous démontrons que BI836845 lie la grande majorité d'IGF-1. Nous démontrons aussi que l'anticorps mène à une baisse de la concentration de IGFBP-3 et à une hausse de la concentration de l'hormone de croissance chez des souris C57 BL/6.

Abstract:
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its principle binding protein (IGFBP-3) are believed to play a role in mediating the anabolic effects of exercise. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of 4 months of training on IGF-I and IGFBP-3, and to determine if changes in IGF-I or IGFBP-3 were related to changes in training status. Twelve varsity swimmers (5 males, 7 females) were tested pre-season, and again after 8 and 16 weeks of training. Measures included: VO2 max, nutritional status, athletic performance, subjective symptoms of overtraining, and serum levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-3. There was no significant change across time in VO2 max, athletic performance, IGF-I or IGFBP-3. Resting IGFBP-3 was positively correlated to symptoms of overtraining at week 0 (p=0.017), however, this relationship did not persist at week 8 or 16. These findings can not confirm that resting levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 are sensitive markers of training status.<br>ix, 105 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm.

Abstract:
Insulin like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs) 1 to 6 have important physiological functions of regulating half life and bioavailability of Insulin like Growth Factors (IGFs). Consequently, these have been known to play important roles in embryonic development, postnatal growth and disease conditions like cancer. However, the physiological roles of IGFBPs are diverse and not restricted only to the IGF regulation. These molecules are found to be tumor suppressors or promoters depending on the physiological contexts. IGFBP-2 has been established as a tumor promoter and found to be unregulated in several cancers including breast, ovarian, prostate cancer and glioblastoma (GBM). Various in vitro and in vivo studies have convincingly demonstrated the role of IGFBP-2 in inducing tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion and chemoresistance. Increased plasma and tissue levels of IGFBP-2 have been associated with poor clinical outcome with respect to patients’ response to the therapy, relapse and overall survival. Various studies so far have demonstrated the role of IGFBP-2 in promoting glioma cell proliferation, migration, invasion, chemoresistance and determining stamens of GICs (Glioma Initiating Cells). However, the exact mechanisms underlying these functions remain unknown. Apart from being a diagnostic and prognostic indicator, IGFBP-2 has also been proposed as a therapeutic target. Therefore it is essential to understand mechanistic insights into pro-tumorigenic functions of IGFBP-2. Apart from the conventional function of regulating IGFs, IGFBP-2 has been shown to have several IGF independent functions. In a previous study, we reported IGFBP-2 as an upstream regulator of β-catenin signaling pathway in breast cancer. Interestingly, this study linked the association of higher expression of IGFBP-2 and β-catenin with the lymph node metastasis status of breast cancer. β-catenin signaling has been considered as one of the most important pro-tumorigenic pathways in several cancers including glioblastoma. Considering the importance of IGFBP-2 and β-catenin signaling pathways in glioblastoma, it becomes important to evaluate regulation of β-catenin activity by IGFBP-2 in glioma and address its clinical relevance. With this aim, the objectives of this study are,  To study mechanism of IGFBP-2 mediated regulation of β-catenin signaling in glioma cells and prognostic significance of IGFBP-2 and β-catenin expression in GBM tissues.  Isolation of human single chain variable fragment (scFv) against IGFBP-2 and its characterization as an inhibitor for IGFBP-2 pro-tumorigenic functions. Towards this, we established stable IGFBP-2 knockdown U251 cell line and IGFBP-2 over expressing LN229 and U87 cell lines. IGFBP-2 modulation in these glioma cell lines did not alter the rate of proliferation but there was a significant effect on cellular migration and invasion. In case of U251 cell line, there was a significant decrease in the intracellular levels of β-catenin while in IGFBP-2 over expressing cell lines there was a marked increase in intracellular β-catenin suggesting that IGFBP-2 is involved in the regulation of β-catenin in these cells. It was observed that this regulation of β-catenin was not because of its transcriptional regulation or regulation of canonical Wnt ligands Wnt1, Wnt2 and Wnt3a. To further delineate the pathway and understand the mechanism behind regulation of β-catenin, upstream regulators of β-catenin were analyzed. GSK3β is an important negative regulator of β-catenin which primes it for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Phosphorylation of GSK3β at Ser9 position renders this enzyme inactive. In our study, it was observed that there was a significant downregulation of p-GSK3β in U251 cells with IGFBP-2 knockdown and upregulation in IGFBP-2 over expressing cell lines. Overexpression of IGFBP-2 in LN229 and U87 cell lines resulted in considerable decrease in the GSK3β mediated phosphorylation of β-catenin. This study unequivocally established that regulation of β-catenin by IGFBP-2 is via inactivation of GSK3β. Furthermore, regulation of GSK3β was found to be due to action of FAK following binding of IGFBP-2 to integrins. The expression pattern of IGFBP-2 and β-catenin protein in the tumor tissues of 112 GBM patients was studied and its correlation with patient survival was analysed. In this analysis it was observed that co-expression of IGFBP-2 and β-catenin is a strong predictor of patient prognosis. These results further implied the importance of understanding IGFBP-2 and β-catenin association in GBM pathology. One of the interesting observations in our study is that, not only full length IGFBP-2 protein but also C-terminal domain of IGFBP-2 was sufficient to regulate β-catenin and other IGFBP-2 mediated functions. This strongly asserts the importance of C-terminal region of IGFBP-2 as a tumor promoter. Towards an attempt to develop an inhibitor for IGFBP-2 actions, we screened a human single chain variable fragment (scFv) library using phage display technique. From this screening, one scFv (B7J) was identified which was a binder of full length IGFBP-2 as well as C-terminal domain of IGFBP-2. This scFv showed inhibition of IGFBP-2-cell surface interaction and also efficiently inhibited IGFBP-2-induced signaling pathways like ERK, FAK and GSK3β/β-catenin. B7J treatment also neutralized regulation of IGFBP-2 transcriptional targets like MMP2 and CD24. Gelatin zymography indicated the ability of B7J to decrease matrix metalloprotease activity in the conditioned medium of glioma cells. These effects ultimately reflected on the IGFBP-2-induced cellular migratory and invasive behaviour which was largely abrogated by B7J scFv treatment. Considering the therapeutic importance of scFvs because of their small size, better tumor penetration and tumor retention capacity than full length antibody molecules, such kind of strategy could be of great importance in the management of GBM. Altogether, this study provides a mechanistic insight of IGFBP-2 mediated actions involving integrin/FAK/GSK3β/β-catenin pathways and the possible role of this crosstalk in the aggressiveness of glioblastoma. This study also provides a proof of principle that an inhibitor like anti IGFBP-2 scFv could be of importance for controlling invasive glioblastoma.

Abstract:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive neuromuscular disease; it occurs due to a mutation in the dystrophin protein gene; as a result, the protein is not synthesized and muscle tissue dies. On the one hand, we can say that this disease has been sufficiently studied; however, it is still incurable, and there are a number of issues remaining unclear in terms of the development of progressive dementia as a symptom in 30% of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We conducted a study at the intersection of molecular genetic, neurological, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent patients’ blood tests and experiments in organotypic culture, which allowed us to determine important points in the development of cognitive disorders in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and identify a significant effect of growth factor concentration in patients. The chapter will present data on neurotrophic regulation in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (by the best-studied neurotrophins), demonstrate special aspects of neuron-myocyte interaction, and broaden the understanding of the role of apoptosis and synthase proteins in the development of this disease. We would like to highlight the importance of prognostic criteria for the development of cognitive impairment and possible therapeutic measures to prevent progressive dementia

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Human studies suggest tobacco smoking is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, experimental data linking tobacco smoke exposures to underlying mediators of neurodegeneration, including impairments in brain insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling in AD are lacking. Objective: This study tests the hypothesis that cigarette smoke (CS) exposures can impair brain insulin/IGF signaling and alter expression of AD-associated proteins. Methods: Adult male A/J mice were exposed to air for 8 weeks (A8), CS for 4 or 8 weeks (CS4, CS8), or CS8 followed by 2 weeks recovery (CS8+R). Gene expression was measured by qRT-PCR analysis and proteins were measured by multiplex bead-based or direct binding duplex ELISAs. Results: CS exposure effects on insulin/IGF and insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins and phosphorylated proteins were striking compared with the mRNA. The main consequences of CS4 or CS8 exposures were to significantly reduce insulin R, IGF-1R, IRS-1, and tyrosine phosphorylated insulin R and IGF-1R proteins. Paradoxically, these effects were even greater in the CS8+R group. In addition, relative levels of S312-IRS-1, which inhibits downstream signaling, were increased in the CS4, CS8, and CS8+R groups. Correspondingly, CS and CS8+R exposures inhibited expression of proteins and phosphoproteins required for signaling through Akt, PRAS40, and/or p70S6K, increased AβPP-Aβ, and reduced ASPH protein, which is a target of insulin/IGF-1 signaling. Conclusion: Secondhand CS exposures caused molecular and biochemical abnormalities in brain that overlap with the findings in AD, and many of these effects were sustained or worsened despite short-term CS withdrawal.
