研究方向
IGFBP-3 蛋白是胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白 (IGFBP) 的成员,在延长胰岛素样生长因子 (IGF) 的半衰期和调节其对细胞培养的生长促进作用方面发挥着至关重要的作用。IGFBP-3 具有抑制或刺激 IGF 诱导的细胞反应的能力,通过改变 IGF 与其各自的细胞表面受体之间的相互作用动力学来发挥其调节影响。此外,IGFBP-3 还表现出由其受体 TMEM219/IGFBP-3R 介导的不依赖于 IGF 的抗增殖和凋亡作用。此外,IGFBP-3 抑制护脑素对胰岛素敏感性的积极作用并促进睾丸生殖细胞凋亡。与 XLKD1 的相互作用以及与 IGF1 或 IGF2 和糖蛋白 (ALS) 形成的三元复合物进一步强调了 IGFBP-3 的多种作用。复杂的相互作用网络,包括与护脑素和 TMEM219 的相互作用,凸显了 IGFBP-3 在调节与生长和凋亡相关的细胞过程和信号通路方面的多方面性质。

背景信息
The Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) signaling system plays a central role in cellular growth, differentiation, and proliferation. IGFBP3 is the most abundant IGF binding protein in human serum and is a growth inhibitory, apoptosis-inducing molecule, capable of acting via IGF-dependent and IGF-independent mechanisms. It appears to function both by cell cycle blockade and the induction of apoptosis. IGFBP3 can be transported to the nucleus by an importin beta mediated mechanism, where it has been shown to interact with the retinoid X receptor alpha and possibly other nuclear elements. IGFBP3 antiproliferative signaling appears to require an active transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathway, and IGFBP3 stimulates phosphorylation of the TGF-beta signaling intermediates Smad2 and Smad3. IGFBP3 has IGF-independent roles in inhibiting cell proliferation in cancer cell lines. Nuclear transcription factor, retinoid X receptor (RXR)-alpha, and IGFBP3 functionally interact to reduce prostate tumor growth and prostate-specific antigen in vivo. Several clinical studies have proposed that individuals with IGFBP3 levels in the upper range of normal may have a decreased risk for certain common cancers. This includes evidence of a protective effect against breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer. Moreover, IGFBP3 inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose uptake into adipocytes independent of IGF.
