Abstract
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are evolutionarily ancient polypeptides, with potent metabolic actions, affecting cell development and growth. The IGF system consists of two ligands: IGF-I and IGF-II, several binding proteins and high-affinity transmembrane receptors. To understand growth regulation in the teleost shi drum, Umbrina cirrosa, we cloned IGF-I and IGF-II cDNAs, studied their expression and determined the cellular localization of IGF-II peptide by immunohistochemistry. A fragment of 1110 nucleotides, coding for U. cirrosa IGF-I (ucIGF-I), was cloned from liver by PCR. It includes an open reading frame of 561 nucleotides, encoding a 187 amino acid preproIGF-I. A fragment of 938 nucleotides that includes part of the coding sequence and the 3' UTR of IGF-II (ucIGF-II) was cloned as well. Sequence analysis of ucIGF-I and ucIGF-II showed a high degree of homology with known fish IGF-I and IGF-II. Real-Time PCR showed a higher expression of IGF-I and IGF-II in liver, compared to all other tissues analysed. IGF-II peptide was detected in larval liver, intestine, gills and heart musculature. After metamorphosis, reactivity was particularly evident in the kidney and in red fibres of skeletal muscle. These results add nove...Continue Reading
