Longitudinal Study of Insulin-like Growth Factor, Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3, and their Polymorphisms: Risk of Neoplastic Progression in Barrett's Esophagus

Abstract: Background: Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a potent mitogen. IGF-I and its main binding protein, IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), and their polymorphisms have been investigated in relation to risk of many cancers, but not esophageal adenocarcinoma. Materials and Methods:We used data and specimens from a longitudinal study of persons with Barrett's esophagus (n = 344; median, 5.4 years follow up) to determine whether baseline serum concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 and associated polymorphisms were r… Show more

“…However, the relatively good prognosis of PC (5-year relative survival of 71% in England and Wales by 2000-2001 [12]) has allowed a mean follow-up of 4-years in this study. Greater levels of IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor-I), a ''noted mitogen'', are seen in both PC [26] and OAC [27]. As this is registry data, information on risk factors such as obesity, smoking, gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms and diet are unfortunately not available.…”

“…The expression of IGFBP-3 has been reported to be repressed by polymorphism or hypermethylation in the promoter region of the gene [27][28][29]31]. The polymorphism of −202 A > C has most intensively been studied in various cancers, and has been shown to be significantly related to decrease of circulating IGFBP-3 levels [19,28,29,35,36] as well as increase of breast cancer risk in Caucasians [27]. However, polymorphisms among the epigenetic changes of IGFBP-3 gene that confers individual susceptibility to lung cancer have rarely been examined so far [32].…”
