A pituitary tumor is considered to be composed of a heterogeneous population of hormone-producing endocrine cells, folliculo-stellate
(FS) cells, and potential hormone-inactive progenitor cells to maintain a microenvironment such as that in angiogenesis for
tumor development cooperatively. However, the system that maintains such a heterogeneous cell population has not been clarified
yet. In the present study, we examined the mechanism for maintaining a heterogeneous cell population using two rat cell lines,
MtT/S and MtT/E cells, which are known growth hormone (GH)-producing cells, and their progenitor cells, respectively. We found
that conditioned medium of MtT/S cells could stimulate the growth of MtT/E cells. In addition, GH and insulin-like growth
factor I (IGF-I) stimulated the growth of MtT/E cells. The messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of receptors for IGF-I and GH were expressed
in the MtT/E cells. Moreover, IGF-I receptor inhibitor AG1024 could abolish the growth stimulatory activity in the conditioned
medium of MtT/S cells. Therefore, we concluded that somatotropes (MtT/S) maintain their progenitor cells (MtT/E) through the
GH–IGF-I signaling and IGF-I directly, which might be involved in the maintenance of progenitors of GH-producing cells and
might contribute to pituitary tumor development. 相似文献

Diabetic polyneuropathy is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus and the most frequent neuropathy worldwide. Aim: This study was designed to investigate the possible beneficial effects of evening primrose oil (EPO) on histopathological changes of sciatic nerves in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Materials and methods: The rats were randomly allotted into three experimental groups: A (control), B (diabetic untreated), and C (diabetic treated with EPO); each group contained 10 animals. Groups B and C received streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes. The rats in group C were given EPO for 2 weeks after 6 weeks of STZ injection. Blood and tissue samples were obtained for biochemical and histopathological investigation. Results: STZ-treated diabetic rats showed reduction of the size of islets of Langerhans, fatty degeneration in the pancreatic acini with dilation, irregularity, and increased thickness of blood vessels. Electron micrography of sciatic nerves of diabetic rats showed multiple vaculations and partial separation of myelinated nerve fibers with axonal atrophy, endoneural edema, and increased collagen fibers. Compared with diabetic rats, EPO induced partial recovery from diabetes-induced pancreatic and nerve damage. Conclusions: Histologic evaluation of the tissues in diabetic animals treated with EPO showed fewer morphologic alterations with significant decrease of myelin breakdown. Furthermore, the ultrastructural features of axons showed partial improvement. It is believed that further preclinical research into the utility of EPO may indicate its usefulness as a potential treatment on peripheral neuropathy in STZ-induced diabetic rats. 相似文献

The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) plays an essential role in mammalian growth and development, and has emerged as a candidate therapeutic target in the treatment of cancer. While the pleiotropic cellular responses elicited following tyrosine phosphorylation of the IGF-1R is usually seen to involve the direct recruitment/activation of classical intracellular effector proteins, it is now clear that cross-talk between the IGF-1R and members of distinct receptor families also plays a significant role in effecting intracellular signalling. In recent years, a number of studies have highlighted the interaction(s) between the IGF-1R and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), another transmembrane tyrosine kinase that is an established cancer target. This review describes the components of the IGF signalling system and gives an overview of the emerging picture of the interrelationship that is now known to exist between the IGF and EGF receptors. 相似文献

糖尿病神经病变与微循环的关系 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32
为研究糖尿病神经病变与微循环的关系,对117例非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(NIDDM)并发糖尿病周围神经病变(DPN)患者甲襞微循环进行了观察,并与无DPN组(36例)进行比较。结果显示,DPN患者有明显的微循环障碍,DPN组微血管形态、流态和袢周状态均有显著异常。与无DPN组比较,DPN患者血液流速明显减慢(P<0.05),并有明显的血细胞聚集(P<0.05)、袢周渗出(P<0.01)与出血(P<0.05)。Logistic逐步回归分析显示,微循环障碍是糖尿病神经病变发病的独立危险因素(OR:1.57;95%CI:1.182.09)。 相似文献

Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Promotes Nerve Regeneration: An Experimental Study on Rat Sciatic Nerve
《Growth factors (Chur, Switzerland)》2013,31(4):309-318
AbstractGrowth without growth hormone (GH) is often observed in the setup of obesity; however, the missing link between adipocytes and linear growth was until now not identified. 3T3L1 cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes and their conditioned medium (CM) (adipocytes CM, CMA) was added to metatarsals bone culture and compared to CM derived from undifferentiated cells. CMA significantly increased metatarsals bone elongation. Adipogenic differentiation increased the expression of growth and differentiation factor (GDF)-5, also found to be secreted into the CMA. GDF-5 significantly increased metatarsal length in culture; treatment of the CMA with anti-GDF-5 antibody significantly reduced the stimulatory effect on bone length. The presence of GDF-5 receptor (bone morphogenetic protein receptor; BMPR1) in metatarsal bone was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Animal studies in rodents subjected to food restriction followed by re-feeding showed an increase in GDF-5 serum levels concomitant with nutritional induced catch up growth. These results show that adipocytes may stimulate bone growth and suggest an additional explanation to the growth without GH phenomenon. 相似文献

A major goal of modern medicine is to identify key genes and their products that are altered in the diseased state and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying disease development, progression, and resistance to therapy. This is a daunting task given the exceptionally high complexity of the human genome. The paradigm for research has historically been hypothesis-driven despite the fact that the hypotheses under scrutiny often rest on tenuous subjective grounds or are derived from and dependent on chance observation. The imminent deciphering of the complete human genome, coupled with recent advances in high-throughput bioanalytical technology, has made possible a new paradigm in which data-based hypothesis-generation is the initial step in the investigative process, followed by hypothesis-testing. Genomics technologies are the primary source of the new hypothesis-generating capabilities that are now empowering biomedical researchers. The synergistic interaction between contemporary genomics technologies and the hypothesis-generation paradigm is well-illustrated by the discovery and subsequent ongoing study of the role of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) in human glioma biology. Using gene expression microarray technology, the IGFBP2 gene was recently found to be highly and differentially overexpressed in the most advanced grade of human glioma, glioblastoma. Based on this discovery, subsequent functional studies were initiated that suggest that IGFBP2 overexpression may contribute to the invasive nature of glioblastoma, and that IGFBP2 may exert its function via a newly identified novel binding protein. The IGFBP2 story is but one example of the power and potential of the new molecular methodologies that are transforming modern diagnostic and investigative neuropathology. 相似文献

糖尿病周围神经病变(DPN)是糖尿病最常见的慢性并发症之一,患者可出现肢体的麻木、疼痛及感觉异常,其中以远端对称性多发性周围神经病变(DSPN)最为多见。目前DPN的筛查方式多样,其中五项筛查、单丝和音叉检查是临床常用的初筛方式,各类量表可为DPN作等级评估,神经传导速度(NCV)是目前公认的诊断金标准。此外,高频超声、角膜共聚焦显微镜、磁共振神经成像等新兴检查方法优势逐步显露。由于DPN是炎症、氧化应激、免疫损伤等多种因素共同作用的结果,因此医师们也在积极探索相关血清学指标,以求为DPN的早期诊断提供更多临床依据。 相似文献

We examined effects of recombinant hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on cutaneous wound healing, using a full-thickness cutaneous excision model in diabetic mice. Topical administration of HGF, as well as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), promoted the rate of wound closure and re-epithelialization. Both HGF and bFGF enhanced expansion of the granulation tissue and stimulated neovascularization on day 7 postwounding, wherein the increase in microvessel density in HGF-treated wounds was higher than that in bFGF-treated wounds. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) activities involved in cell migration, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, were enhanced by HGF-treatment on day 7. On day 28 postwounding (later stages of wound healing), granulation tissue in bFGF-treated wounds remained to a greater extent than that seen in saline- and HGF-treated wounds. Likewise, bFGF- but not HGF-treatment stimulated DNA synthesis of fibroblasts in granulation tissue, suggesting that HGF stimulates wound healing with lesser degree of susceptibility to cutaneous scarring. We propose that supplement of HGF may be a potential therapeutic approach for treatment of cutaneous ulcer. 相似文献
