摘要: Antibodies against the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) or IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) directly initiate a rapid (within 6 h) hypertrophy of isolated adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes cultured in absence serum. Further, treated with either these agonistic antibodies upregulate expression their genes for factor-II (IGF-II) and IGF-II (IGF-IIR). Genistein, an inhibitor tyrosine kinase IGF-IR, also induces to hypertrophy. Anti-IGF-II antibody inhibits cardiomyocyte induced by anti-IGF-I anti-IGF-IR genistein. Results are consistent model which local production is upregulated when IGF-IR signaling pathway blocked IGF-II-mediated pathway, likely involving IGF-IIR, then stimulates cardiomyocytes.
