1 18653623 Insulin-like growth factor-1 delays Fas-mediated apoptosis in human neutrophils through the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase pathway.
2 18653623 We previously showed that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) delays spontaneous neutrophil apoptosis without influencing the secretion of cytokines by these cells.
3 18653623 We show that IGF1 delays neutrophil apoptosis triggered by the agonistic anti-Fas antibody CH11 and that the effect of IGF1 is comparable in magnitude to that of the acknowledged anti-apoptotic cytokines interferon-gamma (IFNG) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; now known as CSF2).
4 18653623 IGF1 did not affect Fas expression or activation by anti-Fas of caspase-8, but inhibited the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane.
5 18653623 Inhibitor studies indicate that the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway, but not the MEK-ERK pathway, mediates the effects of IGF1.
6 18653623 However, in contrast to CSF2, IGF1 did not induce phosphorylation and translocation to the membrane of AKT, the canonical downstream target of PI3K.
7 18653623 We therefore speculate that other downstream targets of PI3K are involved in the delay of neutrophil apoptosis by IGF1, possibly through stabilization of the mitochondrial membrane.
8 19129516 The present study was conducted to explore the source of acetylcholine (ACH) in the corpus luteum (CL) and to test our hypothesis of an antiapoptotic role of ACH in the bovine CL and, further, to investigate whether nerve growth factor (NGF), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFB1) influence the expression of choline acetyltransferase (CHAT), the biosynthetic enzyme of ACH, in cultured bovine luteal cells.
9 19129516 Cell viability and TUNEL assays were performed on cultured midluteal cells treated with or without tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)/interferon gamma (IFNG) in the presence of ACH and its muscarinic (atropine) and nicotinic (mecamylamine) receptor antagonists.
10 19129516 ACH increased cell viability and prevented cell death induced by TNF/IFNG.
11 19129516 TNF/IFNG treatment downregulated CHAT expression, whereas NGF, IGF1, and TGFB1 upregulated CHAT expression, in cultured luteal cells.
12 19129516 Locally produced ACH appears to be regulated by NGF, IGF1, and TGFB1.
