72 8942023 Pregnancy itself is diabetogenic caused by increased insulin resistance due to the production of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) and human placental lactogen (hPL).
73 9704223 Similar frequencies of HLA-DR2, DR3, and DR4 antigens in healthy pregnant women and women with GDM and low prevalences of markers for autoimmune destruction of the beta-cells in GDM pregnancy rule out the possibility that GDM is a disease of autoimmune origin.
74 9704223 Insulin receptor binding to target tissues is largely unaffected by normal and GDM pregnancy; the same is true for basal and insulin-stimulated insulin receptor-bound tyrosine kinase activity.
75 9704223 Hormones that circulate in high concentrations in pregnancy (e.g., progesterone, cortisol, prolactin, human placental lactogen, and estrogen) have all been shown, in animal models, to be able to influence beta-cell function and/or the peripheral tissue sensitivity to insulin, but whether they play similar roles in human pregnancy remains to be investigated.
76 9930929 Increased mitotic activity has been seen both in vivo and in vitro in islets exposed to placental lactogen (PL), prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH).
77 9930929 Thus the mitotic signaling only requires the membrane proximal part of the receptor and activation of the tyrosine kinase JAK2 and the transcription factors STAT1 and 3.

79 10619404 The human growth hormone/chorionic somatomammotropin (hGH/CS) family consists of five genes, one of which (GH-N) is expressed efficiently in pituitary while the other four (CS-A, B, L, and hGH-V) are expressed in placenta and represent ultimate placental differentiation markers.
80 10619404 Specifically, normal term placentas express higher relative levels of hCS-L, lower relative hGH-V levels and a 70-fold lower hGH-V/CS-L mRNA ratio compared to early placentas.
81 10619404 Also, many term placentas from diabetic pregnancies express lower relative levels of hCS-L mRNA and a much higher hGH-V/CS-L mRNA ratio compared to normal term placenta, resembling more an early placenta pattern of expression.
82 10671817 Basal levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I, prolactin, glucagon, estradiol, progesterone, human placental lactogen and human chorionic gonadotropin were investigated in 15 nonobese women with GDM and 26 matched normal pregnant women (N).
83 10809775 In order to explore the role of murine placental lactogen (PL)-I (mPL-I) in islet mass regulation in vivo, we developed transgenic mice in which mPL-I is targeted to the beta cell using the rat insulin II promoter.
84 11723058 We have developed three transgenic models in which growth factors (hepatocyte growth factor [HGF], placental lactogen, or parathyroid hormone-related protein) have been targeted to the beta-cell using rat insulin promoter (RIP).
85 11723058 RIP-HGF islets, P < 0.01), have two- to threefold higher GLUT2 and glucokinase steady-state mRNA levels, take up and metabolize glucose more effectively, and most importantly, function at least twice as effectively after transplantation.
86 12086951 TNF-alpha is a predictor of insulin resistance in human pregnancy.
87 12086951 The purpose of this study was to test this hypothesis by correlating the longitudinal changes in insulin sensitivity during pregnancy with changes in placental hormones, cortisol, leptin, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha.
88 12086951 Body composition, plasma TNF-alpha, leptin, cortisol, and reproductive hormones (human chorionic gonadotropin, estradiol, progesterone, human placental lactogen, and prolactin) were measured in conjunction with the clamps.
89 12086951 TNF-alpha, leptin, cortisol, all reproductive hormones, and fat mass were increased in late pregnancy (P < 0.001).
90 12086951 During late pregnancy, TNF-alpha was inversely correlated with insulin sensitivity (r = -0.69, P < 0.006).
91 12086951 Furthermore, among all of the hormonal changes measured in this study, the change in TNF-alpha from pregravid to late pregnancy was the only significant predictor of the change in insulin sensitivity (r = -0.60, P < 0.02).
92 12086951 Multivariate stepwise regression analysis revealed that TNF-alpha was the most significant independent predictor of insulin sensitivity (r = -0.67, P < 0.0001), even after adjustment for fat mass by covariance (r = 0.46, P < 0.01).
93 12086951 These observations challenge the view that the classical reproductive hormones are the primary mediators of change in insulin sensitivity during gestation and provide the basis for including TNF-alpha in a new paradigm to explain insulin resistance in pregnancy.

99 16380478 We hypothesized that combined transgenic overexpression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and placental lactogen in islets would lead to even greater increases in beta-cell mass and replication than either growth factor alone.
100 16380478 We therefore performed the first comprehensive G(1)/S cell cycle survey in islets, cataloguing the broad range of kinases, cyclins, and kinase inhibitors that control the G(1)/S transition in islets from normal, HGF, placental lactogen, and doubly transgenic mice.

129 16380478 Many of the G(1)/S checkpoint regulators (E2Fs; pRb; p107; p130; cyclins D(1),(2),(3), A, and E; cdk-2; cdk-4; p15; p16; p18; p19; p21; p27; MDM2; p53; c-Myc; and Egr-1) are present in the murine islet.
130 16380478 Most of these proteins were unaltered by overexpression of HGF or placental lactogen, either alone or in combination.
131 16380478 In contrast, p21(cip) was uniquely, dramatically, and reproducibly upregulated in placental lactogen and HGF islets. p21(cip) was also present in, and upregulated in, proliferating human islets, localizing specifically in beta-cells and translocating to the nucleus on mitogenic stimulation.
132 16380478 Homozygous p21(cip) loss releases islets from growth inhibition, markedly enhancing proliferation in response to HGF and placental lactogen.
133 16380478 Evaluation of beta-cell replication in mice transgenic for hepatocyte growth factor and placental lactogen: comprehensive characterization of the G1/S regulatory proteins reveals unique involvement of p21cip.
134 16380478 We hypothesized that combined transgenic overexpression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and placental lactogen in islets would lead to even greater increases in beta-cell mass and replication than either growth factor alone.
135 16380478 We therefore performed the first comprehensive G(1)/S cell cycle survey in islets, cataloguing the broad range of kinases, cyclins, and kinase inhibitors that control the G(1)/S transition in islets from normal, HGF, placental lactogen, and doubly transgenic mice.
136 16380478 Many of the G(1)/S checkpoint regulators (E2Fs; pRb; p107; p130; cyclins D(1),(2),(3), A, and E; cdk-2; cdk-4; p15; p16; p18; p19; p21; p27; MDM2; p53; c-Myc; and Egr-1) are present in the murine islet.

140 17130470 We next attempted to drive beta-cell replication in p21-null mice by crossing them with rat insulin II promoter-murine PL-1 (islet-targeted placental lactogen transgenic) mice.
141 17130470 A G(1/S) proteome scan demonstrated that p21(cip1) loss was not associated with compensatory increases in other cell cycle inhibitors (pRb, p107, p130, p16, p19, and p27), although mild increases in p57 were apparent.
142 17130470 In summary, isolated p21(cip1) loss, as for pRb, p53, p18, and p27 and other inhibitors, results in normal beta-cell development and function, either because it is not essential or because its function is subserved or complimented by another protein.
143 17728251 Lactogens promote beta cell survival through JAK2/STAT5 activation and Bcl-XL upregulation.
144 17728251 This study explores the role of lactogenic hormones, prolactin (PRL) and placental lactogen (PL), in beta cell survival.
145 17728251 We have previously shown that transgenic mice expressing mouse placental lactogen-1 (mPL1) in beta cells under the rat insulin II promoter (RIP) are resistant to the diabetogenic and cytotoxic effects of streptozotocin (STZ) in vivo.
146 17728251 The signaling pathway mediating this protective effect is the janus-activated-kinase-2/signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (JAK2/STAT5) pathway.
147 17728251 This is demonstrated in INS-1 cells and primary mouse beta cells using three separate approaches, pharmacological inhibitors, JAK2-specific siRNAs and a dominant-negative STAT5 mutant.
148 17728251 We believe this is the first direct demonstration of lactogens mediating their protective effect through the JAK2/STAT5 pathway in the beta cell and through Bcl-XL in any cell type.

155 19292617 Femur BMD, CSA, and SM were larger in women with higher BMI, but values scaled in proportion to lean and not to fat or total body mass.
156 19292617 BMD, CSA, and SM vary in proportion to total body lean mass, supporting the view that bones adapt to prevalent muscle loads.
157 19292617 Because lean mass is a progressively smaller fraction of total mass in obesity, femur BMD, CSA, and SM decline relative to body weight in higher BMI categories.

164 19520781 The hormone adiponectin has been shown to be important in maintaining insulin sensitivity throughout the body, whereas potential effects on the placenta have not been assessed.
165 19520781 Adiponectin's role in regulating peripheral insulin responsiveness suggests it may be a factor in maintaining this balance during gestation as well.
166 19520781 Examination of human cytotrophoblast cells revealed that mRNA for both adiponectin receptors, adipoR1 and adipoR2, are abundantly expressed at term.
167 19520781 Treatment of cytotrophoblasts with adiponectin resulted in a significant drop, as assessed by quantitative RT-PCR, in expression for a number of genes involved in the endocrine function of the placenta, including the chorionic gonadotropin subunits, placental lactogen, and some steroidogenic enzymes.
168 19520781 Immunofluorescent staining for connexin 43 and desmoplakin in primary trophoblasts revealed that adiponectin does not inhibit syncytialization of trophoblast cells in culture.
169 20581837 Increasing insulin resistance in the mother maintains nutrient flow to the growing fetus, whereas prolactin and placental lactogen counterbalance this resistance and prevent maternal hyperglycemia by driving expansion of the maternal population of insulin-producing beta cells.
170 20581837 Inhibition of serotonin synthesis by dietary tryptophan restriction or Tph inhibition blocked beta cell expansion and induced glucose intolerance in pregnant mice without affecting insulin sensitivity.
171 20581837 Expression of the G alpha(q)-linked serotonin receptor 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor-2b (Htr2b) in maternal islets increased during pregnancy and normalized just before parturition, whereas expression of the G alpha(i)-linked receptor Htr1d increased at the end of pregnancy and postpartum.
172 21679697 Lactogens (prolactin, placental lactogen and growth hormone) improve β-cell survival via STAT5 activation but the molecular targets are incompletely characterized.
173 21679697 The aim of this study was to examine the effect of human growth hormone (hGH) on mRNAs of fatty acid transport and binding proteins expressed in pancreatic β-cells, and to examine this in relation to β-cell survival after exposure to fatty acids. hGH decreased mRNA levels of FAT/CD36, whereas mRNAs of GPR40, FASN, FABP2, FATP1 and FATP4 were unchanged.
174 21679697 Over-expression of constitutively active STAT5 was able to mimic hGH's suppression of FAT/CD36 expression, whereas dominant negative STAT5 was unable to block the effect of hGH indicating that STAT5 did not bind directly to the FAT/CD36 promoter.
175 21679697 The hGH-mediated suppression of FAT/CD36 mRNA was associated with a decrease in palmitate uptake and fatty acid-induced basal hyper-secretion of insulin resulting in improved glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
176 21765243 Human placental lactogen (hPL-A) activates signaling pathways linked to cell survival and improves insulin secretion in human pancreatic islets.
177 21765243 Among factors with mitogenic activity on pancreatic β-cells, human placental lactogen (hPL) showed stronger activity when compared to the other lactogen hormones: growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL).
178 21765243 Indeed, the antiapoptotic role of hPL-A was mediated by PI3K, p38 and it was independent by PKA, Erk1/2.
179 21765243 Moreover, hPL-A induced PDX-1 intracellular expression, improving beta cell activity and ameliorating insulin secretion in response to high glucose stimulation.

184 21823053 The lactogens, human placental lactogen and prolactin, are major stimuli for the adaptation of the endocrine pancreas during gestation.
185 21823053 This review discusses the role of lactogens on glucose homeostasis during pregnancy and proposes a mechanism by which the hormonal control of lactation, led by prolactin, may regulate adipocyte biology, glucose and lipid metabolism, and guard postpartum women against type 2 diabetes.
186 22387044 We investigated how the mRNA expression profile of placental GH2, CSH1 and CSH2 genes and their alternative transcripts correlates with maternal pre-eclampsia (PE) and/or gestational diabetes mellitus (GD).
187 23502141 Hormonal factors such as the growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling system, the human placental lactogen, and insulin play an integral role in early growth.
