“…Several rigorously controlled studies demonstrated that nuclear IRS-1 can be found in cells transformed by oncogenic proteins, for example, T antigens of the JCV (Lassak et al, 2002) and SV40 viruses, and v-src (Tu et al, 2002). Nuclear translocation of IRS-1 has also been described in mouse embryo fibroblasts stimulated with IGF-I (Tu et al, 2002;Sun et al, 2003), 32D murine cells (Sciacca et al, 2003), osteoblasts (Seol and Kim, 2003), and hepatocytes (Boylan and Gruppuso, 2002). The mechanism by which IRS-1 is targeted to the nucleus is unknown.…”
