Insulin-like growth factor I 1 (IGF II) regulated tissue-specific gene expression in hepatoma cell lines, but had no effect on expression of tissue-specific genes in primary cultures of E l 4 and newborn rat liver cells depleted of erythroid cells. No change was observed in these primary cultures wi

## Abstract Apart from hepatic stellate cells (HSC), liver myofibroblasts (MF) represent a second mesenchymal cell population involved in hepatic fibrogenesis. The IGF system including the insulinβlike growth factors I and II (IGFβI, βII), their receptors (IGFβI receptor, IGFβIR; IGFβII/mannose 6βp
Insulin-like growth factor I1 is believed to play an important role in fetal growth and development. The insulin-like growth factor I1 gene expression is tissue specific and developmentally regulated. We have previously shown an enhanced level of insulin-like growth factor I1 messenger RNA and prote
## Abstract The expression of the insulin like growth factor (IGF) II gene has been examined in the developing equine fetus. It was found that IGF II transcripts were present in abundant quantities in third trimester embryonic and extraembryonic tissues as for example the placenta. The expression o
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
