Expression of insulin-like growth factor receptor, IGF-1, and IGF-2 in primary and metastatic osteosarcoma

Abstract: Background and Objectives:We have previously shown that insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-responsive murine sarcomas demonstrate inhibition of local and metastatic disease growth when implanted in an IGF-deficient host animal. In this experiment, we tested whether IGF receptor (IGF-R) and ligands were expressed in human primary and metastatic osteosarcomas. Methods: Fifty-two specimens of human osteosarcoma tumor from 48 patients were assayed for IGF-R, IGF-1, and IGF-2 using reverse transcriptase polymerase ch… Show more

“…Because many of the receptors and downstream signaling molecules are tyrosine kinases [18,22], inhibitors of these kinases are a majority of the most promising anticancer drugs [4,10,21,27]. Although osteosarcoma has not been as well studied as other types of cancer, overexpression in osteosarcoma has been reported for both growth factors and their tyrosine kinase receptors, and overexpression of some of these molecules correlates with metastasis and poor survival in patients with osteosarcoma [5,8,9,15,17,20,23,28,33,36,47,49,60,65].…”

“…For example, in osteosarcomas, several of which (6/8) expressed hCRD-BP, upregulated c-myc expression is frequently not associated with gene amplification. 17 The role of IGF is complex since these tumors show either an abnormal IGF pattern of expression 18 or an altered dependence or sensitivity to these factors. 19,20 In Ewing's sarcomas, c-myc expression is upregulated, conceivably because EWS/ FLI can act as a transactivator of the c-myc promoter.…”

“…Many pediatric tumors including neuroblastoma, Wilms' tumor, osteosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma are embryonal tumors of the childhood and exhibit increased expression of IGF-II and IGF-IR establishing autocrine loops to perpetuate growth and survival (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). The role of IGF-I in the development of Ewing's sarcoma has also been well documented in addition to the induction of IGF-IR expression by the Ewing's sarcoma fusion protein (16)(17)(18)(19).…”
