Somatomedin-C/insulin-like growth factor I (SM-C/IGF-I) binds to both cultured keratinocytes trypsinized to single-cell suspensions and fresh epidermal sheets derived from 1 M NaBr-treated 6-mm punch biopsies. A gradual increase of 1-4% in specific binding of SM-C/IGF-I to fresh epidermal sheets was observed during a 5-hour incubation period at 15 degrees C. The human keratinocyte SM-C/IGF-I receptor was isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after cross-linking with iodinated SM-C/IGF-I and migrated at 135,000 daltons under reducing conditions. Both a partially purified preparation of SM-C/IGF-I, as well as recombinant DNA-derived thr-59-SM-C/IGF-I (25-100 ng/ml), stimulated keratinocyte replication in a serum-free system, with an approximately equivalent effect as insulin (10 micrograms/ml). Since fibroblasts produce SM-C/IGF-I, our data suggest that some dermal-epidermal interactions in diseases such as psoriasis may be mediated, in part, by SM-C/IGF-I.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

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.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
