We observed that all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) down-regulated insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in cultured human hepatoma cells (Hep 3B, PLC/PRF/5, and Hep G2); therefore, we characterized the role of this down-regulation in cell growth. Treatment with 10 micromol/L RA revealed a

## Abstract Glucocorticoids (GCs) modulate insulinβlike growth factor action in cartilage through mechanisms that are complex and insufficiently defined, especially in the context of cranioβfacial growth. Because the family of IGFβbinding proteins (IGFBPβ1 to β6) is important in the regulation of I
Cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the cell type primarily involved in the progression of liver fibrosis, secrete insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF binding protein (IGFBP) activity. IGF-I exerts a mitogenic effect on HSCs, thus potentially contributing to the fibrogenic process in an
The mitogenic effects of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are regulated by a family of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). One member of this family, IGFBP-3, mediates the growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects of a number of growth factors and hormones such as transfor
A sensitive RIA was used to examine regulation of IGFBP-1 in H411E rat hepatoma cells. IGFBP-1 was stimulated up to tenfold by dexamethasone and corticosterone, and this stimulation was abolished by RU486. The effect of dexamethasone increased with time in culture. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (P
