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
Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene imprinting has been demonstrated to be promoter-specific, in that expression from the P1 promoter is biallelic whereas that from the P2-P4 promoters is monoallelic. In the present study, in order to investigate IGF2 gene imprinting status at the cellular leve
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
