IGFBP-3 Is a Metastasis Suppression Gene for Prostate Cancer.

Abstract: The insulin-like growth factor binding protein IGFBP-3 is a pro-apoptotic and anti-angiogenic protein in prostate cancer (CaP). Epidemiological studies suggest that low IGFBP-3 is associated with greater risk of aggressive, metastatic prostate cancers, but in vivo functional data are lacking. Here we show that mice that are genetically deficient in IGFBP-3 exhibit weaker growth of primary prostate tumors growth but higher incidence of metastatic disease. Prostates in IGFBP-3 knockout mice (IGFBP-3KO mice) fail… Show more

“…The functions of IGFBP-3 have largely been explored in the context of cancer as a pivot that can determine cell fate, that is, the likelihood of survival and proliferation vs. death (2,34). In the current study, we demonstrate that IGFBP-3 may have a general anti-inflammatory effect under conditions of lipotoxic stress and that deficiency of IGFBP-3 increases IL-8, a well-known proinflammatory cytokine, and would thus be expected to contribute to the hepatic and systemic inflammatory state in patients with NAFL or NASH.…”

“…EMT is a genetic program whereby epithelial cells lose their polarity and adopt mesenchymal properties by disrupting cell-cell contact. In clinical settings, the transition from adenocarcinoma to CaP metastasis is correlated with EMT status [58]. On the other hand, inhibiting the expression of EMT molecules has resulted in the inhibition of metastatic potential of CaP cells [18].…”

“…1C). IGF binding protein 3 knockout mice (BP3KO) is another interesting model that has normal GH levels but enhanced IGF-I activity due to increased levels of free IGF-I, increased body size, and a reduced lifespan (Yakar et al, 2009;Mehta et al, 2011). BP3KO mice had a 70% decrease in plasma HN levels (Fig.…”
