| Popis: | Modern lifestyle with its lack of exercise and healthy diet often leads to obesity which is accompanied by a decreasing biological effect of insulin and the onset of hyperinsulinemia, and consequently type 2 diabetes. Persistently high levels of insulin stimulate signalling pathways with growth effects; cells thus become more sensitive to mitogenic effects of all growth factors which may even lead to the loss of control over cell proliferation and the rise of various malignancies. Due to a high degree of structure homology of insulin, IGF-I/II as well as particular IR (existing in "mitogenic" IR-A isoform and "metabolic" IR-B isoform) and IGF-1R, there are a number of cross- interaction among hormones and receptors; nevertheless, the biological response may be different during the binding to a receptor. The determination of the crucial structural regions in insulin and IGF which are responsible for binding to the receptors could lead to the evolution of selective insulin analogues with strengthen metabolic effects, or could lead to the evolution of selective antagonism of IGF which would, in turn, suppress the mitogenic effect. The highest overlap is between insulin and IGF-II since both hormones are able to bind to the isoform A of an insulin receptor (IR-A) with a high affinity, and to activate... |
