Insulin and IGF-1 induce different patterns of gene expression in mouse fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells: identification by cDNA microarray analysis

Abstract

The IGF-1 receptor and the related insulin receptor are similar in structure and activate many of the same postreceptor signaling pathways, yet they mediate distinct biological functions. It is still not understood how the specificity of insulin vs. IGF-1 signaling is controlled. In this study, we have used cDNA microarrays to monitor the gene expression patterns that are regulated by insulin and IGF-1. Mouse fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells expressing either the wild-type human IGF receptor or the insulin receptor were stimulated with either IGF-1 or insulin, respectively. Thirty genes, 27 of which were not previously known to be IGF-1 responsive, were up-regulated by IGF-1 but not by insulin. Nine genes, none of which was previously known to be insulin responsive, were up-regulated by insulin but not by IGF-1. The IGF- and insulin-induced regulation of 10 of these genes was confirmed by Northern blot analysis. Interestingly, more than half of the genes up-regulated by IGF-1 are associated with mitogenesis and differentiation, whereas none of the genes specifically up-regulated by insulin are associated with these processes. Our results indicate that under the conditions used in this study, IGF-1 is a more potent activator of the mito...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
