We have previously shown that insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is produced by bone cells and that IGF-II stimulates cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in bone cells. We now extend these in vitro findings by demonstrating specific IGF-I1 binding to bone cells derived from newborn mouse c

In this study we investigated the regulation of insulin-like growth factor II gene expression to explain a role for this growth factor in concert with hepatitis B virus involvement in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma from cirrhosis. Sections of normal liver and tumor and non-tumor-bearing
Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) plays significant roles in the growth and development of mammals through the regulation of mitogenesis and cell survival. Previously, IGF-II mRNA transcripts within the CNS were detected in the choroid plexus and leptomeninges (DeChiara et al., 1991). The objec
We investigated expression of insulin-like growth factor II (Igf2) in primary cultured hepatocytes, liver epithelial (LE) cell lines derived from normal hepatocytes, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines from crosses between C3H/HeJ (C3H) and Mus musculus molossinus mice (MSM). Igf2 mRNA was
## Abstract The mannose 6βphosphate/insulinβlike growth factor II receptor (M6P/IGF2R) mediates biosynthetic sorting and endocytosis of various factors that impinge on the proliferation, migration and invasiveness of tumour cells. The gene encoding M6P/IGF2R is frequently lost or mutated in a wide
