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

β¦ Synopsis
Recent studies of early development in a number of invertebrate and vertebrate species have suggested that growth factors and their receptors may play important roles in diferentiation as well as cell prolijeration. In the mouse embryo, the expression of the receptors for insulin and insulin-like growth factors I and 11 (IGF-I and -I0 are temporally regulated. The ontogeny of receptor and ligand expression within the insulin and IGF genejumily suggests that the very earliest stages of mammalian embryogenesis may he subject to regulation bv autocrine and paracrine factors ,from maternal and embryonic sources.

Haemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumour originating from the contractile pericapillary cells. Relatively little is known about its molecular pathogenesis. To address this issue, the insulin-like growth factor family (IGFs) was analysed in 19 tumours collected from a human tumour bank networ
The role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in regulating estrogen receptor-β£ (ER-β£) gene expression and activity was investigated in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Treatment of cells with 40 ng/ml IGF-I resulted in a 60% decrease in ER-β£ protein concentration by 3 h, and the amount o
