Inbred carcinogen-resistant DRH rat strain developed from the closed colony Donryu rats on the basis of selective markers such as poor induction of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and marked reduced incidences of liver tumors during 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3'-Me-DAB) administration, which took more than 10 years. Previously, we observed that the Donryu rat liver was quite sensitive to both DNA-damaging and cytotoxic effects of 3'-Me-DAB, while the DRH rat liver showed tolerance to 3'-Me-DAB under the same conditions. In the present study, we examined mRNA levels related to the cytotoxic drug resistance mechanism in the livers of DRH and Donryu rats using RT-PCR. Contrary to our expectation, we observed rather similar levels of mRNAs between the two rat strains under the following conditions: i) mdr1 mRNA induction after 3'-Me-DAB administration. ii) MLP-2 mRNA reduction by 3'-Me-DAB administration, iii) MLP-2 mRNA induction after cholestasis and iv) constitutive levels of cMOAT gene expression. On the other hand, the levels of p53 mRNA and p53 protein in the Donryu rat liver were higher than those in DRH rat liver during 3'-Me-DAB administration, suggesting that the former were more sensitive to 3'-Me-DAB than DRH rat under these conditions. In conclusion, we failed to demonstrate the difference in the cytotoxic drug resistance mechanism between DRH and Donryu rats at least under the conditions examined in this study. 相似文献

Carcinogen-resistant inbred DRH rat strain was established from closed colony Donryu rats in the presence of 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3'-Me-DAB). Despite using 3'-Me-DAB during the stage of selection, the DRH rats developed normally and did not show any spontaneous tumor at over 1 year of age. In the present study, we examined the polymorphism in mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (M6p/Igf2r) gene and found that the DRH rat showed CCC (Proline)-type polymorphism in exon 48 and the Donryu rat had GCC (Alanine) sequence. Since the DRH rat was developed from the Donryu rat, we examined whether this polymorphism in exon 48 of M6p/Igf2r gene was due to mutation that occurred at the stage of selection in the presence of 3'-Me-DAB, using several other laboratory and wild rats. We detected the presence of polymorphism at the same site of the M6p/Igf2r gene among these rats. It is likely that the polymorphism in exon 48 of the M6p/Igf2r gene is present broadly in rats since ancient times and not due to the mutation during the course of selection unless this site is a hot spot for chemical carcinogens. 相似文献

Vitamin A (VA) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) are important regulators of a wide range of physiological processes. To investigate the IGF system's involvement in the physiological actions of VA, we examined the effects of VA status on components of the IGF system in rats. Male rats (3-wk-old) fed a VA-deficient diet for 11 wk developed VA deficiency, as confirmed by the depletion of serum retinol and hepatic retinyl palmitate. Rats fed the VA-deficient diet had significantly lower body weight (p < 0.05) and lower serum IGF-I concentrations than the rats fed the control diet. The decreases in serum IGF-I levels were accompanied by approximately 40% lower levels of the IGF-I mRNA in the liver and lungs. With respect to the gene expression of other IGF system components, VA deficiency caused a twofold induction of IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) mRNA in the heart and a twofold reduction in IGFBP-6 mRNA in the lungs, but did not alter the expression of IGF-II, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-4 or IGFBP-5 in all tissues examined. When VA-deficient rats received a single injection of retinoic acid (2 mg/rat), tissue IGF-I and IGF-IR gene expression did not change after 4 or 8 h, while the expression of IGF-II, IGFBP-4, and IGFBP-6 mRNAs in some tissues increased rapidly. These results suggest a possible involvement of the IGF system in mediating the physiological actions of VA, including VA-supported growth, in the rat. 相似文献

Rats were administered cysteine at a dose of 100 mg/kg b.w. 5 times per week after 2-amino-3, 8-dimethylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoxaline (MeIQx) treatment. Significant decrease in numbers and areas of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive foci, putative preneoplastic lesions, and silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions were evident in the livers of rats treated with cysteine after MeIQx treatment. Morever, post-initiation stage cysteine treatment resulted in decreased hepatic insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I mRNA expression. Thus post-initiation cysteine treatment may exert chemopreventive effect on MeIQx hepatocarcinogenesis. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of L-carnitine on insulin-like growth factor-I/II (IGF-I/II) and insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Each rat in the three L-carnitine-treated groups was injected subcutaneously with L-carnitine, 50 (D50), 100 (D100), or 200 (D200) mg/kg body weight every other day for four weeks, and animals in normal (N) and diabetic (DM) groups received saline by the same method. Diabetic rats had significantly lower carnitine concentrations in serum and liver compared with normal rats. Total carnitine concentrations were increased dose-dependently by carnitine treatment. Total IGF-I in serum from diabetic rats was increased dose-dependently by carnitine treatment, but was statistically significant only in the D200 group. The expression of liver IGF-I mRNA was lower in diabetic rats than in normal rats and increased by L-carnitine treatment. L-Carnitine treatment of diabetic rats had no effect on the levels of IGF-II in serum, liver, and kidney. Although the levels of IGF-II in serum and kidney of diabetic rats were increased in comparison with normal rats, IGF-II mRNA was not expressed in liver. Diabetic rats had markedly lower IGFBP-3 than normal rats did, and IGFBP-3 was increased by L-carnitine treatment. These results demonstrate that L-carnitine treatment of diabetic rats modulates the IGFs/IGFBPs axis. Especially note-worthy is that L-carnitine at a dose of 200 mg/kg/48 h for four weeks was able to restore serum total IGF-I in STZ-induced diabetic rats to nearly normal levels. 相似文献

Maternal cortisol levels increase during pregnancy. Although this change is important for optimal fetal growth, the mechanisms of the changes in growth remain unclear. The hypothesis examined was that alterations in maternal plasma cortisol concentrations are associated with changes in the fetal insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis. Pregnant ewes in late gestation (115 ± 0.4 days) were studied: six control animals, five ewes given 1 mg kg(-1) day(-1) cortisol (high cortisol) and five adrenalectomised ewes given 0.5-0.6 mg kg(-1) day(-1) cortisol (low cortisol). Blood samples were taken throughout the experiment and at necropsy (130 ± 0.2 days) and fetal liver was frozen for mRNA analysis. Fetal IGF-I and insulin plasma concentrations were lower and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) concentrations were higher in the low cortisol group compared with those in the control group (P < 0.05). Fetal liver IGF-II and IGFBP-3 mRNA were decreased in low cortisol animals compared with controls (P < 0.05). There were no significant changes in these parameters in the high cortisol group, and there were no changes in fetal liver IGF-I, growth hormone receptor, IGF-I receptor, IGF-II receptor, IGFBP-1 or IGFBP-2 mRNA levels between the groups. These data suggest that reduced fetal IGF availability contributes to reduced fetal growth when maternal cortisol secretion is impaired, but not during exposure to moderate increases in cortisol. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) belong to a family of growth factors with structural homology to proinsulin. In our previous studies, we found that both IGF-I and IGF-II gene expression showed growth hormone (GH) dependence in the brain and liver of juvenile common carp when treated in vivo with GH for a short time. This present work aimed to study the effects of both the short-term and long-term GH induction of IGF gene expression using cysteamine (CSH) and fasting/re-feeding. CSH is an agent that can deplete somatostatin to increase circulating GH level. IGF mRNA levels in the flesh (muscle) and liver of common carp were determined using real-time PCR.The chronic treatment of common carp with CSH was carried out for 63 d, with growth enhancement of the treated fish noted. Hepatic IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA levels increased in a dose-dependent manner with short-term CSH treatment, whereas IGF-I decreased and IGF-II increased in the liver after chronic CSH treatment. IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA levels in muscle were found to be elevated with the high-dose, long-term CSH treatment. Under the experimentally induced catabolic states of fasting, both hepatic IGF-I and IGF-II gene expression were significantly reduced, whereas they showed no change in muscle. After re-feeding, the hepatic expression of IGF-I in liver and muscle rebounded significantly. The hepatic IGF-II expression level showed no rebound after re-feeding, but the IGF-II level in muscle rebounded to the level of the fed group after re-feeding. 相似文献

Specific decrease in liver insulin-like growth factor-I and brain insulin-like growth factor-II gene expression in energy-restricted rats. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Four-week-old male rats were maintained for 10 d on a series of diets containing a constant high level of dietary protein and total energy at 100, 70, 60 or 50% of the ad libitum intake rate. Under these conditions, growth rate varied as a function of dietary energy. Serum insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I was decreased in the energy-restricted animals. Total hepatic IGF-I mRNA was decreased by approximately the same factor as circulating IGF-I protein. In contrast to previous results obtained with protein-restricted animals, serum albumin mRNA was not decreased in the energy-restricted animals. Brain IGF-II mRNA was slightly decreased in animals fed the 70 and 60% energy diets and was decreased by 50% in animals fed the 50% energy diet. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) gene expression was increased in the liver but not in the brain of the energy-restricted animals, indicating that dietary energy regulates IGFBP-2 gene expression differently in liver and brain. The results demonstrate specific changes in liver IGF-I and IGFBP-2 gene expression and brain IGF-II gene expression in animals that are growth-retarded because of a restriction of dietary energy. 相似文献

Effect of dietary proteins on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) messenger ribonucleic acid content in rat liver. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Effects of quantity and quality of dietary proteins on plasma immunoreactive insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentration, and content of IGF-1 mRNA in rat liver were investigated in rats. Plasma immunoreactive IGF-1 concentration in rats given a casein diet was higher than that in rats given a soya-bean-protein or protein-free diet. The IGF-1 mRNA content in liver was estimated by the Northern blot hybridization technique employing 32P-labelled rat IGF-1 complementary DNA (cDNA). At least four molecular species of IGF-1 mRNA of different molecular weight were found in rat liver. The sizes were 0.8-1.2, 2.0, 3.6-4.0 and 7.4 kb. Most of the mRNA species decreased in the livers of rats given a gluten diet (120 g gluten/kg diet) compared with rats given the casein diet. In particular, mRNA of 7.4 kb decreased markedly. When rats were fed on the protein-free diet, mRNA of all species decreased significantly. The estimated IGF-1 mRNA in the livers of rats fed on the gluten or protein-free diet was almost 0.4 of that of the rats given the casein diet. Feeding the soya-bean-protein diet did not result in a marked effect on the hepatic content of mRNA species of IGF-1. The results showed that liver IGF-1 mRNA content is sensitively regulated by quantity and nutritional quality of dietary proteins. 相似文献

Subchronic toxicity of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was examined by inhalation exposure of F344 rats and BDF1 mice of both sexes to 0, 10, 30, 90, 270 or 810 ppm (v/v) CCl4 vapor for 13 wk (6 h/d and 5 d/wk). In the high exposure levels at 270 and 810 ppm, altered cell foci in the livers of both rats and mice, and fibrosis and cirrhosis in the rat liver were observed. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained altered cell foci of rats were recognized as glutathione-S-transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci, which are preneoplastic lesions of hepatocarcinogenesis. The most sensitive endpoint of CCl4-induced toxicity was fatty change with large droplets in rats of both sexes and male mice, and cytoplasmic globules in male mice, as well as increased relative liver weight in male rats. Those endpoints were manifested at 10 ppm and the LOAEL was determined as 10 ppm for the hepatic endpoints in rats and mice. Enhanced cytolytic release of liver transaminases into plasma in rats and mice and its close association with hepatic collapse in mice were observed at medium and high levels of inhalation exposure. Both CCl4-induced hematotoxicity and nephrotoxicity were observed in both rats and mice, but those toxicities were manifested at higher exposure concentrations than hepatotoxicity. The LOAEL for the hepatic endpoint and the GST-P-stained altered cell foci provide relevant animal data for reconsidering the occupational exposure limit val1ue of 5 ppm for CCl4 and strengthen the evidence of CCl4-induced hepatocarcinogenicity which is used in its carcinogenicity classification. 相似文献

Fetal growth has been linked with increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease later in life. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis has recently been proposed as a predictor of risk of subsequent cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, only few data are available on the possible association between fetal growth and levels of IGFs later in life. We examined the association between markers of fetal growth, i.e. birth weight, birth length and Ponderal Index, from birth records and serum IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) levels in 545 middle-aged Danish men and women. We fitted separate multivariate models including birth weight, birth length, Ponderal Index and serum IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGFBP-3, respectively. After adjustment for age, alcohol intake, smoking, diabetes mellitus, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum total cholesterol and current height and weight, we found negative associations between birth weight and Ponderal Index, respectively, and serum IGF-II in men, i.e. the mean regression coefficients were -49.41 (95% CI: -87.06-11.77) (microg/l)/kg and -3.49 (95% CI: -6.73-0.25) (microg/l)/(kg/m3), respectively. Furthermore, in men birth weight was negatively associated with the (IGF-I + IGF-II)/IGFBP-3 and IGF-II/IGFBP-3 ratios, which are believed to be indicators of bioavailable IGF and IGF-II, respectively. However, no other associations were found in any of the models. Between 1 and 16% of the variance in serum IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGFBP-3, respectively, could be explained by the statistical models used in the analyses. We found very little support to the hypothesis of an association between fetal growth and the IGF axis throughout life. 相似文献

BackgroundWeight reduction is effective in preventing T2D however, weight reduction and maintenance is difficult to achieve on a population scale. Serum insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) and IGF-II receptor (IGF2R) have been associated with diabetic status and body weight in prior studies and, in addition, IGF-II has been indicated as predictive of future weight change. We measured these serum markers in participants with obesity/overweight and prediabetes from the New Zealand arm of the PREVIEW lifestyle intervention randomised trial before and after an 8-week low energy diet (LED).MethodsTotal IGF-II (n = 223) and soluble IGF2R (n = 151) were measured using commercial ELISA kits on fasted serum samples taken prior to an 8-week LED and also from participants completing the LED.ResultsIGF-II levels were not correlated with baseline body weight although mean levels did significantly decrease following the LED. Change in IGF-II serum level was correlated to fasting glucose change (p = 0.04) but not to weight change. Baseline serum IGF2R was correlated with BMI (p = 0.007) and was significantly higher in Māori compared to European Caucasian participants independent of body weight (p = 0.0016). Following LED, IGF2R change was positively associated with weight change (p = 0.02) when corrected for ethnicity. Pre-LED levels of these serum markers were not predictive of the magnitude of weight loss over the 8 weeks.ConclusionNeither marker was useful in predicting magnitude of short-term weight loss. IGF2R is positively associated with BMI and is higher in Māori compared to European Caucasian individuals. 相似文献

It has been shown that a statin (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme reductase inhibitor) enhances a suppressive effect of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) blocker (ARB) on injury-induced transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta expression in kidneys. We have shown that TGF-beta plays a crucial role in the development of liver fibrosis. In this study, we tested whether a combinatory use of a statin (pitavastatin) and an ARB (candesartan) may further inhibit liver fibrogenesis in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated rats. Candesartan (8 mg/kg/day) significantly suppressed injury-induced TGF-beta 1 expression in livers, and attenuated fibrogenesis, as evaluated by masson-trichrome staining and hydroxyproline content in livers. Pitavastatin (2 mg/kg/day) alone did not affect liver fibrogenesis. However, it enhanced significantly the suppressive effects of candesartan on TGF-beta 1 expression and fibrogenesis. Although we do not know the underlying molecular mechanisms at this moment, these results suggest that a combinatory use of a statin and an ARB may confer beneficial effects on human liver fibrogenesis. 相似文献

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system, comprising insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II), and their binding proteins (IGFBPs), is linked to cell growth, the development of cardiovascular disease, and several cancers. Little is known about its epidemiology. The authors studied relations of the IGF system to anthropometric and metabolic variables in three population-based ethnic groups in Manchester, England, in 1994-1998 with differing disease risks: African Caribbean (n = 193), Pakistani (n = 130), and local Europeans(n = 142). Standardized anthropometry, glucose tolerance tests, and serum assays were performed. Body mass indices (BMIs) were high in all groups. IGF-I levels were highest in normoglycemic African Caribbeans and declined with age (r = -0.28). IGF-II levels were greatest in Europeans. IGFBP-1 concentrations increased with age in Pakistanis (r = 0.20) and Europeans (r = 0.29), but not in African Caribbeans (r = 0.06), and were inversely related to BMI (r = -0.37). Age- and sex-adjusted IGFBP-1 was inversely related to fasting insulin and proinsulin in all groups; participants with newly detected diabetes were relatively insulinopenic but had higher IGFBP-1 concentrations. Nonesterified (free) fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations increased with declining glucose tolerance. In multiple regression analysis, IGFBP-1 was independently and negatively related to fasting insulin, BMI, and African-Caribbean compared with European ethnicity but positively related to age, fasting glucose, and NEFA. IGF-I was inversely related only to age, NEFA, and Pakistani ethnicity. IGF-II showed a strong ethnic difference but was unrelated to other variables. These data indicate considerable potential for exploring disease-IGF system relations in population samples. 相似文献
