Glucocorticoids inhibit the proliferation, but induce the differentiation, of bone marrow stromal cells into osteoblast-like cells. The mechanisms, however, are still conjectural. Since insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) have profound effects on osteoblast growth and differentiation, it is possible

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is essential for normal epidermal homeostasis; however, the role of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), regulators of IGF action, remains unclear. Here we examine the regulation of human keratinocyte-produced IGFBPs by epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growt
Osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1 or BMP-7) stimulates new bone formation in vivo and induces cell proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro. Previous studies from our laboratory revealed that OP-1 led to a two-to threefold increase in steady-state insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and I
Insulin-like growth factor-1, IGF-1, is believed to be an important anabolic modulator of cartilage metabolism whose action is mediated by high affinity cell surface receptors and bioactivity and bioavailability regulated, in part, by IGF-1 binding proteins (IGFBPs). Prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) stimu
