Insulin‐like growth factor I messenger RNA and protein are expressed in the human lymph node and distinctly confined to subtypes of macrophages, antigen‐presenting cells, lymphocytes and endothelial cells

Abstract: Summary Insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐I) is a potent hormone that stimulates growth and differentiation and inhibits apoptosis in numerous tissues. Preliminary evidence suggests that IGF‐I exerts differentiating, mitogenic and restoring activities in the immune system but the sites of synthesis of local IGF‐I are unknown. Identification of these sites would allow the functional role of local IGF‐I to be clarified. The presence of IGF‐I in non‐immune cells suggests that it acts as a trophic factor, while it… Show more

“…7a) or in CD3+ T lymphocytes (data not shown). The absence of IGF-I in lymphocytes of the human lymph node is similar to our previous findings in CD3+ T lymphocytes and CD20+ B lymphocytes in the non-malignant lymph node (Oberlin et al 2009;present study). The absence of IGF-I in non-reactive B cells in our study is also in accordance with observations by other groups that freshly isolated B lymphocytes do not secrete IGF-I in vitro (Merrimee et al 1989).…”

“…In the present study, we detected IGF-I-immunoreactive material in macrophages and high endothelial venules of HL lesions, as previously described in non-tumoral lymph nodes in which we proposed a role for IGF-I in the differentiation of the special endothelium and attraction of lymphocytes and, particularly, in the support of macrophages during immune challenge (Oberlin et al 2009). Thus, IGF-I might contribute to the constitution and maintenance of the tumour microenvironment, in addition to its local presence in the tumour cells themselves.…”
