IGF-I has been shown to play a role in the progression of atherosclerosis in experimental animal models. IGF-binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) binds to IGF-I and prevents its association with receptors. Overexpression of a protease-resistant form of IGFBP-4 has been shown to inhibit the ability of IGF-I to stimulate normal smooth muscle cell growth in mice. Based on these observations, we prepared a protease-resistant form of IGFBP-4 and infused it into hypercholesterolemic pigs. Infusion of the… 
Expression of a protease-resistant insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-4 inhibits tumour growth in a murine model of breast cancer
TLDR
Protease-resistant IGFBP4 blocks IGF activity, tumour growth and angiogenesis, and was accompanied by the increased endothelial cell apoptosis.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-4 is both a positive and negative regulator of IGF activity in vivo.
TLDR
Results indicate not only that IGFBP-4 functions as a local reservoir to optimize IGF-II actions needed for normal embryogenesis, but also establish that IGF BP-4 proteolysis is required to activate most, if not all, IGF- II mediated growth-promoting activity.
Recombinant PAPPA resistant insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4 ( dBP 4 ) inhibits angiogenesis and metastasis in a murine model of breast cancer
TLDR
DBP4 inhibited IGF1induced angiogenesis in vitro and in Matrigel implants in vivo, and highlights the therapeutic potential of dBP4 as an approach to block the tumour-promoting actions of IGF1.
Recombinant PAPP-A resistant insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4 (dBP4) inhibits angiogenesis and metastasis in a murine model of breast cancer
TLDR
The engineered, PAPP-A resistant IGFBP4 (dBP4) retained IGF1 binding capacity and inhibited IGF1 activation of Akt as well as IGF1-induced migration and invasion by 4T1.2luc cells, highlighting the therapeutic potential of dBP4 as an approach to block the tumour-promoting actions of IGF1.
IGF binding protein-4 is required for the growth effects of glucagon-like peptide-2 in murine intestine.
TLDR
Results indicate that the IGF-I-modulating protein, IGFBP-4, exerts a negative effect on basal intestinal growth but plays a positive regulatory role in the intestinotropic actions of GLP-2.
The role of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-2 in the insulin-mediated decrease in IGF-I bioactivity.
TLDR
The data indicate that insulin acutely decreases IGF-I bioactivity through differential modulation of IGFBPs, thereby providing a further explanation for its association with the metabolic syndrome.
Smooth Muscle Cell-Specific Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Overexpression in Apoe−/− Mice Does Not Alter Atherosclerotic Plaque Burden but Increases Features of Plaque Stability
TLDR
Findings indicate that stimulation of VSMC IGF-1 signaling does not alter total atherosclerotic plaque burden and may improve atherosclerosis plaque stability.
IGF-I increases markers of osteoblastic activity and reduces bone resorption via osteoprotegerin and RANK-ligand
TLDR
This work confirms that the simple partial IGF-I deficiency is responsible for osteopenia, determined by densitometry and histopathology, and identifies a reduced gene expression of osteoprotegerin, sclerostin, calcitonin receptor, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 and RUNX2.
Insulin-Like Growth Factor Signaling during Myogenesis.
TLDR
It is suggested that IGFBP-5 promotes muscle cell differentiation by binding to and switching on the IGF-II auto-regulation loop.
IGF-Binding Proteins: Why Do They Exist and Why Are There So Many?
TLDR
The emerging explanation that many IGFBP functions have evolved to allow the targeted adjustment of IGF signaling under stressful or irregular conditions, which would likely not be revealed in a standard laboratory setting are explored.

A protease-resistant form of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein 4 inhibits IGF-1 actions.
TLDR
The results suggest that IGFBP-4 can act as a potent inhibitor of the anabolic effects of IGF-1 and that the variables that regulate protease activity may indirectly regulate IGF- 1 actions.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding proteins inhibit the smooth muscle cell migration responses to IGF-I and IGF-II.
TLDR
In summary, IGF-I and -II stimulate smooth muscle cell migration after wounding, and this migratory response is modulated by IGFBPs, which appears to neutralize the effects of the IGFs by inhibiting their interaction with IGF receptors.
Protease-resistant form of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 is an inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor-I actions on porcine smooth muscle cells in culture.
TLDR
It is suggested that proteolysis can prevent IGFBP-5 from acting as an inhibitor of IGF-I-stimulated effects and that it serves as an important mechanism for regulating cellular responsiveness to IGF- I.
Cleavage Analysis of Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF)-dependent IGF-binding Protein-4 Proteolysis and Expression of Protease-resistant IGF-binding Protein-4 Mutants (*)
TLDR
Biological studies suggest that the IGF BP-4/IGFBP-4 protease system may play a role modulating local cellular response to IGF-I, and suggests that the protease-resistant mutant IGFBPs-4, but not wild-type IGFBP- 4, suppressed IGF-II enhancement of IGF- I-stimulated DNA synthesis.
Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) Regulates IGF-binding Protein-5 Synthesis through Transcriptional Activation of the Gene in Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (*)
TLDR
It is demonstrated that porcine SMCs express IGFBP-5 mRNA and synthesize and secrete the protein and that IGF-I up-regulates IGF BP-5 synthesis by transcriptionally activating the IGFBP -5 gene in aortic SMCs.
Targeted Expression of a Protease-resistant IGFBP-4 Mutant in Smooth Muscle of Transgenic Mice Results in IGFBP-4 Stabilization and Smooth Muscle Hypotrophy*
TLDR
A mutant IGFBP-4 with the cleavage domain substitution 119-KHMAKVRDRSKMK-133 to 119-AAMAAVADASAMA-133 results in greater growth inhibition than equivalent levels of native IGF BP-4 in vivo, demonstrating a role for IGFbp-4 proteolysis in the regulation of IGF-I action.

Targeted disruption of the pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A gene is associated with diminished smooth muscle cell response to insulin-like growth factor-I and resistance to neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury.
TLDR
P APP-A-deficient mice are resistant to neointimal formation after injury, which may be explained in part by the ability of PAPP-A to enhance local IGF-I stimulation of vascular SMCs through proteolysis of IGFBP-4.
Properties of an insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-4 protease that is secreted by smooth muscle cells.
TLDR
As IGFBP-4 is a potent inhibitor of IGF action, and the activity of this protease is regulated by IGF exposure, the protease represents a novel system for regulating the actions of IGF-I in this cell type.
Binding of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-5 to smooth-muscle cell extracellular matrix is a major determinant of the cellular response to IGF-I.
TLDR
The findings suggest that specific basic amino acids at positions 207 and 214 mediate the binding of IGFBP-5 to pSMC/ECM, which is an important variable that determines cellular responsiveness.
