β¦ Synopsis
Insulinlike growth factor binding proteins modulate the action of the insulinlike growth factors in various bioassays and may regulate the bioavailability of the insulinlike growth factors in uiuo. Because the insulinlike growth factors may influence hepatic regeneration, we have examined the effect of partial hepatectomy on serum insulinlike growth factor binding proteins and on the abundance of insulinlike growth factor binding protein-1 messenger RNA in the liver. All rats were fasted before and after partial hepatectomy or sham operation to avoid the confounding effects of difference in food intake. Using a conventional protocol, 70% of the liver was removed, and groups of four or five rats were killed at different intervals after partial hepatectomy. Sham-operated rats served as controls. Pooled sera from each group of rats were analyzed by ligand blotting with lZsIinsulinlike growth factor-I. Liver RNA from individual rats was analyzed by slot-blot and Northern-blot hybridization. A small decrease in the 39-to 42-kD insulinlike growth factor binding protein was apparent in sera from both the sham-operated and partial hepatectomized rats. In contrast, a dramatic increase (fivefold) in the 29-kD serum insulinlike growth factor binding protein (insulinlike growth factor binding protein-1) was apparent only in the partial hepatectomized rats. Hepatic insulinlike growth factor binding protein-1 messenger RNA abundance was significantly increased (1.99 f 0.18-fold; p < 0.05) at 1 hr, reached a peak of 2.32 f 0.22-fold (p < 0.01) at 3 hr after partial hepatectomy and returned to basal levels over the subsequent 6 to 12 hr. Interestingly, the abundance of insulinlike growth factor binding protein-1 messenger RNA was also significantly increased in the kidneys of partially hepatectomized rats at 3 hr (1.47 f 0.23-fold; p < 0.05), and peaked at 6 hr (2.50 * 0.39-fold; p < 0.05) after partial hepatectomy.

## Abstract Insulinβlike growth factor binding proteinβ1 (IGFBPβ1) is synthesized in the liver and regulates the mitogenic effects of the insulinβlike growth factors (IGFs). The evidence that IGFBPβ1 plays a role in hepatocarcinogenesis, however, is equivocal. We have, therefore, investigated the d
Epidermal growth factor (EGF), a mitogen in vitro for hepatocytes, produces in various cell lines changes similar to those observed very rapidly in hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy (PH). These changes include ion movements, membrane hyperpolarization and proto-oncogene expression. A stimulatory
## Abstract Suramin has been shown to have antiproliferative activity, either by blocking the binding of growth factors to their receptors or by inhibiting critical cellular enzymes. In 6 different cell lines from 5 tumour types (MCFβ7, MCFβ7/ADR^R^, PC3, HTβ29, UMβSCCβIIB and SWβ1573/1R500), we st
We have demonstrated previously that insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 alone has little growth inhibitory effect on Hs578T human breast cancer cells, but that it can dramatically accentuate the apoptotic response to the physiological trigger, ceramide, in an IGF-independent manner
