Conversely, induction of the WT1(-KTS) isoform, whose role as transcriptional regulator has been firmly established, significantly increased IGFBP5 mRNA and protein levels in osteosarcoma cells.
Adenoviral mediated overexpression and knockdown of IGFBP5 in the MG63 and MG63.2 cell lines, as well as other OS lines (143B and MNNG/HOS) that are independent of our MG63 lines, were employed to examine the role of IGFBP5.
Activation of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 promoter by parathyroid hormone in osteosarcoma cells requires activation of an activated protein-2 element.
We evaluated the effect of mitogenic doses of AlF(4)(-) and NaF on the mRNA levels and the protein level (in conditioned media [CM]) of several components of the IGF system (i.e., IGF-2, IGF binding protein [IGFBP]-4, and IGFBP-5) in human TE85 osteosarcoma cells.
