## 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

We have previously shown that insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is produced by bone cells and that IGF-II stimulates cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in bone cells. We now extend these in vitro findings by demonstrating specific IGF-I1 binding to bone cells derived from newborn mouse c
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
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
ity of IGFs can be modified by IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) (Rechler, 1993). There are six known IGFBPs,
