The Role of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in the Physiopathology of Hearing

Abstract: Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) belongs to the family of polypeptides of insulin, which play a central role in embryonic development and adult nervous system homeostasis by endocrine, autocrine, and paracrine mechanisms. IGF-I is fundamental for the regulation of cochlear development, growth, and differentiation, and its mutations are associated with hearing loss in mice and men. Low levels of IGF-I have been shown to correlate with different human syndromes showing hearing loss and with presbyacusis. Ani… Show more

“…ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT [20], metabolic diseases, and cancer [21]. Examples of mechanisms that produce such epigenetic changes are DNA methylation in regions of the IGF-1 promoter that are dense with CpG dinucleotides (CpG islands), and histone modification, each of which alters how the IGF-1 gene is expressed [6,7].…”

“…Human homozygous loss-of-function IGF1 gene mutations cause intrauterine and postnatal growth failure and severe sensorineural deafness (OMIM 608747) [1], [2]. Treatment with recombinant human IGF-I has been shown to improve short stature in patients with severe IGF-I deficiency [3], supporting the key role of IGF-I in skeletal development.…”

“…Two major signal transduction systems activated by binding of IGF1 to the IGF1R are the MAPK pathway, which leads to increases in proliferation, growth, and differentiation, and the PI3K/AKT pathway, which inhibits apoptosis (63). Actions of IGF1 on the preimplantation embryo indicate that both MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways are activated (Figure 2).…”
