IGF-binding protein-5: flexible player in the IGF system and effector on its own

Abstract: The multiple activities of IGF-I and -II are modulated by a family of IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6). Although structurally related, each IGFBP has unique properties and exerts specific functions. IGFBP-5 is the most conserved IGFBP across species and was identified as an essential regulator of physiological processes in bone, kidney and mammary gland. In addition, IGFBP-5 appears to play a decisive role in the control of proliferation of specific tumour cell types. In many situations IGFBP-5 exerts biol… Show more

“…In our study, we find that IGFBP5 suppresses metastatic phenotypes in OS. These findings are supported by the reported functions of the three conserved domains of this protein, the N-terminal, C-terminal and L domains (Schneider et al, 2002;Akkiprik et al, 2008). In particular, the C-terminal domain might be involved in the inhibition of OS migration, invasion and metastasis.…”

“…Although little is known about the role of IGFBP5 in OS, the IGF pathway has been implicated in a number of human cancers, including Ewing's sarcoma and OS (Manara et al, 2007;Avnet et al, 2009). The IGFBPs are associated with a variety of pathologic and physiologic pathways (Schneider et al, 2002). However, there is conflicting data on the relationship between IGFBP expression and human cancers.…”

“…This is the first report on the association between genetic variations of the IGFBP5 gene and adiponectin. The exact role of IGFBP5, the most conserved gene of this family 11 in adipose tissue remains to be determined. Thus, it is of a great interest to study further the molecular mechanisms between the IGFBP5 and adiponectin in adipose tissue and their relation with metabolic syndrome and obesity.…”

“…8 While all IGFBPs (IGFBP1-IGFBP7) are structurally related, their functions are non-redundant from each other and they exert their effects also independently from IGF. [9][10][11] IGFBPs have been linked to several human disorders, such as different growth disorders 12,13 and insulin resistance. 14 IGFBP3 is the major circulating IGFBP, which binds 75% of IGFs in healthy people, forming 140 kDa complexes.…”
