Abstract:
The insulin-like growth factors induce a signal network, which is vital to modulation of different cell processes, like growth, cell survival, proliferation and differentiation. IGF-system consists of ligands (IGF-I, IGF-II, insulin) receptors, like IGF-IR, IGF-IIR, IR and hybrid receptor, insuline-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP-1-6) and proteases (PAPP-A, MMPs etc.). IGF-IR has complex downstream pathways, including MAPK-patway and PI3-K pathway, through which its biological effects are realized. Diverse effects of IGF-axis provide regenerative, regulatory, protective functions in many tissues and organs in human. However the deviations of IGF-system may provide carcinogenesis through upregulation of cyclin D1, CDK4 and inhibition of PTEN, which affects cell cycle. Interactions with bcl-2 system increase cell survival. IGF-system is also involved in tumor angiogenesis and lympangiogenesis, through induction of HIF-1α expression and activation of VEGF. Another effect of IGF-system is intensification of invasion and metastasis, as a result of regulation of MMPs and uPAR/uPA-system. In bone tumors IGF axis plays important role in tumorogenesis. Overexpression of IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-IR has been found in osteosarcoma. In Ewing's sarcoma transformed cells depend on IGF-IR signalization, аnd cell survival is linked with IGFs. In DSRCT cells expression of IGF-IR is stimulated by some isoforms of EWS-WT1 protein. IGF-system causes non-islet hypoglycemia in malignant fibrous histiocytoma. IGF-I-II plays role of autoctine factor of differentiation in chondrosarcoma cell line HCS 2/8. Accordingly, the IGF-system can be an important target in diagnostics, detection, prognosis and treatment of cancer.
