Serum Factors Inhibit Melanoma Cell Surface Expression of Type I and Type II IGF Receptors

Abstract: We have identified one class of IGF-I-binding sites and two classes of IGF-II-binding sites at the surface of the melanoma cell line IGR39. By means of affinity labeling with 125I-IGF-I, 290-300 kDa form was characterized. Using 125I-IGF-II, a 270 kDa polypeptide was labeled, corresponding to the type II IGF receptor. In the two serials of experiments, the order of potency in inhibiting 125I-IGF-I or 125I-IGF-II labeling of IGF-related peptides and alpha IR3, an antibody directed against type I receptor alpha … Show more

“…The possibility that the lack of effects of CH-275 on [Ca 2+ ] i is due to an altered sst 1 receptor expression can be excluded by the finding that GC cells express sst 1 receptors irrespective of their culture conditions. Indeed, different culture conditions are known to influence protein expression in various cell types [33, 34, 35]. Another possibility is the difference in time scales of CH-275 application used for [Ca 2+ ] i measurements and GH experiments.…”

“…IGF-I is a primary mitogen for a number of malignant melanoma cell lines (45). Studies on melanoma cell lines (46,47) indicate synthesis of a range of IGFBPs (IGFBP-2, -3, -4, -5, and -6), with regulation by serum or IGF-I. It is thus possible that aberrantly expressed IGFBPs play a more significant role in regulating the IGF-I response of melanoma cells.…”
