IGF-I and IGF-II are key regulators of growth and metabolism. Still, data about their expression and distribution within the growth plate in different animal models remain contradictory. Inferences drawn from rodent animal models can only be applied to human conditions to a limited extent as the rodent's growth plate never fuses. In this study, we compared the expression of IGF-I and IGF-II in native growth plates of prepubertal piglets and under different cell culture conditions. We detected IGF-I mRNA expression and abundantly expressed IGF-II within the growth plate. IGF-I expression increased during monolayer cell culture while IGF-II expression dramatically decreased. Our studies revealed that these expression patterns remained unaffected by growth hormone stimulation in vitro. The abundant expression of IGF-II in porcine growth plate tissue, both on the mRNA and on the protein level, suggests that IGF-II also has a role in growth regulation at the early postnatal stage.

D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor. IGF-I,Somatomedin C,IGF-1,IGF-I-SmC,Insulin Like Growth Factor I,Insulin-Like Somatomedin Peptide I,Insulin Like Somatomedin Peptide I
D007335 Insulin-Like Growth Factor II A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the LIVER and to circulate in the BLOOD. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on SOMATOTROPIN. It is believed to be a major fetal growth factor in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I, which is a major growth factor in adults.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
