| Abstract | Blocking αVβ3 integrin occupancy results in attenuation of the cellular migration response to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). To determine whether integrin antagonists alter other IGF-I-stimulated biologic actions, quiescent smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were exposed to echistatin and their ability to respond to IGF-I was determined. Echistatin (10−7 M) inhibited IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis by 80%, and the protein synthesis response also was inhibited. Therefore blocking occupancy of αVβ3 inhibited multiple target cell actions of IGF-I. To determine whether blocking αVβ3 occupancy could alter IGF-I receptor-mediated signal transduction, the ability of IGF-I to stimulate phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) was analyzed. A 10-min exposure to 100 ng/ml of IGF-I resulted in a substantial increase in phosphorylated IRS-1, and echistatin (10−7 M) blocked the IGF-I-induced IRS-1 phosphorylation response. Echistatin also attenuated downstream signaling because the capacity of the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase) to bind to IRS-1 was blocked. In contrast, exposure of SMCs to vitronectin (1.0 μg/cm2) or thrombospondin (0.25 μg/cm2), two known ligands for αVβ3, resulted in enhancement of the IGF-I-stimulated IRS-1 response. To determine whether these effects were caused by alterations in receptor kinase activity, the IGF-I receptor was immunoprecipitated and then analyzed for phosphotyrosine. Echistatin (10−7 M) significantly reduced IGF-I-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the IGF-I receptor β subunit. We conclude that occupancy of the αVβ3 integrin is necessary for IGF-I to fully activate the kinase activity of the IGF-I receptor and phosphorylate IRS-1. Activation of the αVβ3 receptor results in an interaction with the IGF-I signal transduction pathway, which modulates SMCs responsiveness to IGF-I. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
