The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) is a receptor-tyrosine kinase that plays a critical role in signaling cell survival and proliferation. IGF-IR binding to its ligand, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) activates phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), promotes cell proliferation by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, and blocks apoptosis by inducing the phosphorylation and inhibition of proapoptotic proteins such as BAD. Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) that is required for c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 activation in response to Fas and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor stimulation, and for oxidative stress- and TNFalpha-induced apoptosis. The results presented here indicate that ASK1 forms a complex with the IGF-IR and becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine residue(s) in a manner dependent on IGF-IR activity. IGF-IR signaling inhibited ASK1 irrespective of TNFalpha-induced ASK1 activation and resulted in decreased ASK1-dependent JNK1 stimulation. Signaling through IGF-IR rescued cells from ASK1-induced apoptotic cell death in a manner independent of PI3K activity. These results indicate that IGF-IR signaling suppresses the ASK-1-mediated stimulation of JNK/p38 and the induction of programmed cell death. The simultaneous activation of MAP kinases and the inhibition of the stress-activated arm of the cascade by IGF-IR may constitute a potent proliferative signaling system and is possibly a mechanism by which IGF-I can stimulate growth and inhibit cell death in a wide variety of cell types and biological settings.  相似文献

The insulin-like growth factor type I (IGF-I) receptor (IGF-IR), activated by its ligands IGF-I and IGF-II, can initiate several signal transduction pathways that mediate suppression of apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. Here we investigated the regulation of IGF-IR activation and function by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B). Coexpression of PTP-1B with a beta-chain construct of the IGF-IR (betaWT) inhibited IGF-IR kinase activity in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in COS cells, and in IGF-IR-deficient fibroblasts. In both spontaneously immortalized and simian virus 40 T antigen-transformed embryonic fibroblast cell lines derived from PTP-1B knockout mice, IGF-I induced higher levels of IGF-IR autophosphorylation and kinase activity than were induced in PTP-1B-expressing control cells. PTP-1B-deficient cells exhibited enhanced IGF-I-mediated protection from apoptosis in response to serum withdrawal or etoposide killing, as well as enhanced plating efficiency and IGF-I-mediated motility. Reexpression of PTP-1B in spontaneously immortalized fibroblasts resulted in decreased IGF-IR and AKT activation, as well as decreased protection from apoptosis and decreased motility. These findings demonstrate that PTP-1B can regulate IGF-IR kinase activity and function and that loss of PTP-1B can enhance IGF-I-mediated cell survival, growth, and motility in transformed cells.  相似文献

Ceramide is a sphingolipid bioactive molecule that induces apoptosis and other forms of cell death, and triggers macroautophagy (referred to below as autophagy). Like amino acid starvation, ceramide triggers autophagy by interfering with the mTOR-signaling pathway, and by dissociating the Beclin 1:Bcl-2 complex in a c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1)-mediated Bcl-2 phosphorylation-dependent manner. Dissociation of the Beclin 1:Bcl-2 complex, and the subsequent stimulation of autophagy have been observed in various contexts in which the cellular level of long-chain ceramides was increased. It is notable that the conversion of short-chain ceramides (C2-ceramide and C6-ceramide) into long-chain ceramide via the activity of ceramide synthase is required to trigger autophagy. The dissociation of the Beclin 1:Bcl-2 complex has also been observed in response to tamoxifen and PDMP (an inhibitor of the enzyme that converts ceramide to glucosylceramide), drugs that increase the intracellular level of long-chain ceramides. However, and in contrast to starvation, overexpression of Bcl-2 does not blunt ceramide-induced autophagy. Whether this autophagy that is unchecked by forced dissociation of the Beclin 1:Bcl-2 complex is related to the ability of ceramide to trigger cell death remains an open question. More generally, the question of whether ceramide-induced autophagy is a dedicated cell death mechanism deserves closer scrutiny.  相似文献

Exposure of PC12 cells to C(2)-ceramide results in dose- dependent apoptosis. Here, we investigate the involvement of death-associated protein (DAP) kinase, initially identified as a positive mediator of the interferon-gamma-induced apoptosis of HeLa cells, in the C(2)-ceramide-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells. DAP kinase is endogenously expressed in these cells. On exposure of PC12 cells to 30 microm C(2)-ceramide, both the total (assayed in the presence of Ca(2+)/calmodulin) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent (assayed in the presence of EGTA) DAP kinase activities were transiently increased 5.0- and 12.2-fold, respectively, at 10 min, and then decreased to 1.7- and 3.4-fold at 90 min. After 10 min exposure to 30 microm C(2)-ceramide, the Ca(2+)/calmodulin independent activity/ total activity ratio increased from 0.22 to 0.60. These effects were dependent on the C(2)-ceramide concentration. C(8)-ceramide, another active ceramide analog, also induced apoptosis and activated DAP kinase, while C(2)-dihydroceramide, an inactive ceramide analog, failed to induce apoptosis and increase DAP kinase activity. Furthermore, transfection studies revealed that overexpression of wild-type DAP kinase enhanced the sensitivity to C(2)- and C(8)-ceramide, while a catalytically inactive DAP kinase mutant and a construct containing the death domain and C-terminal tail of DAP kinase, which act in a dominant-negative manner, rescued cells from C(2)-, and C(8)-ceramide-induced apoptosis. These findings demonstrate that DAP kinase is an important component of the apoptotic machinery involved in ceramide-induced apoptosis, and that the intrinsic DAP kinase activity is critical for ceramide-induced apoptosis.  相似文献

Continuous stimulation of cells with insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in G(1) phase is a well established requirement for IGF-induced cell proliferation; however, the molecular components of this prolonged signaling pathway that is essential for cell cycle progression from G(1) to S phase are unclear. IGF-I activates IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) tyrosine kinase, followed by phosphorylation of substrates such as insulin receptor substrates (IRS) leading to binding of signaling molecules containing SH2 domains, including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) to IRS and activation of the downstream signaling pathways. In this study, we found prolonged (>9 h) association of PI3K with IGF-IR induced by IGF-I stimulation. PI3K activity was present in this complex in thyrocytes and fibroblasts, although tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS was not yet evident after 9 h of IGF-I stimulation. IGF-I withdrawal in mid-G(1) phase impaired the association of PI3K with IGF-IR and suppressed DNA synthesis the same as when PI3K inhibitor was added. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Tyr(1316)-X-X-Met of IGF-IR functioned as a PI3K binding sequence when this tyrosine is phosphorylated. We then analyzed IGF signaling and proliferation of IGF-IR(-/-) fibroblasts expressing exogenous mutant IGF-IR in which Tyr(1316) was substituted with Phe (Y1316F). In these cells, IGF-I stimulation induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IGF-IR and IRS-1/2, but mutated IGF-IR failed to bind PI3K and to induce maximal phosphorylation of GSK3β and cell proliferation in response to IGF-I. Based on these results, we concluded that PI3K activity bound to IGF-IR, which is continuously sustained by IGF-I stimulation, is required for IGF-I-induced cell proliferation.  相似文献

We investigated the ceramide-induced apoptosis and potential mechanism in A-431 cells. Ceramide treatment causes the round up and the death of A-431 cells that is associated with p38 activation and can be observed in 10 h. Short-time ceramide treatment-induced cell death is not associated with the typical apoptotic phenotypes, such as the translocation of phosphatidylserine (PS) from inner layer to outer layer of the plasma membrane, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, DNA fragmentation, caspase activation, and PARP or PKC-delta degradation. SB202190, a specific inhibitor of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, but not caspase inhibitor, blocks the cell death induced by short-time ceramide treatment (within 12 h). Whereas neither inhibition of p38 MAP kinase nor inhibition of caspases blocks cell death induced by prolonged ceramide treatment. Moreover, incubation of cells with ceramide for a long time (over 12 h) results in the reduction of proportion of S phase accompanied with typical apoptotic cell death phenotypes that are different from the cell death induced by short-time ceramide treatment. Our data demonstrated that ceramide-induced apoptotic cell death involves both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent signaling pathways. The caspase-independent cell death that occurred in relatively early stage of ceramide treatment is mediated via p38 MAP kinase, which can progress into a stage that is associated with changes of cell cycle events and involves both caspase-dependent and -independent mechanisms.  相似文献

We have investigated the effects of ceramide on the progression of cell cycle and on apoptotic cell death in ovarian cultured granulosa cells. Rates of cellular proliferation were measured by immunocytochemical staining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and flow cytometric cell cycle analysis. We also examined for morphological and biochemical signs of apoptosis. The PCNA expression was downregulated in a dose-dependent manner after treatment with C6-ceramide. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that the exposure of granulosa cells to C6-ceramide markedly decreased the population associated with G0/G1 DNA content and the reduction of cell numbers in G0/G1 phase was accompanied by the elevation of the A0 phase. The exposure of granulosa cells to exogenous C6-ceramide induced drastic morphological changes including cytoplasmic- or nuclear condensation and typical apoptotic DNA degradation. We also observed that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, significantly inhibited the ceramide-induced apoptosis. These results suggested that ceramide might block the progression of cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and as a consequence, granulosa cells would be committed to apoptosis. Our findings also indicated that down-regulation of the PKC activity might be involved in the ceramide-induced apoptosis in cultured granulosa cells.  相似文献

We studied the novel hypothesis that an up-modulation of channels for outward delayed rectifier K+ current (I(K)) plays a key role in ceramide-induced neuronal apoptosis. Exposure for 6-10 h to the membrane-permeable C2-ceramide (25 microM) or to sphingomyelinase (0.2 unit/ml), but not to the inactive ceramide analogue C2-dihydroceramide (25 microM), enhanced the whole-cell I(K) current without affecting the transient A-type K+ current and increased caspase activity, followed by neuronal apoptosis 24 h after exposure onset. Tetraethylammonium (TEA) or 4-chloro-N,N-diethyl-N-heptylbenzenebutanaminium tosylate (clofilium), at concentrations inhibiting I(K), attenuated the C2-ceramide-induced caspase-3-like activation as well as neuronal apoptosis. Raising extracellular K+ to 25 mM similarly blocked the C2-ceramide-induced cell death; the neuroprotection by 25 mM K+ or TEA was not eliminated by blocking voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. An inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, herbimycin A (10 nM) or lavendustin A (0.1-1 microM), suppressed I(K) enhancement and/or apoptosis induced by C2-ceramide. It is suggested that ceramide-induced I(K) current enhancement is mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation and plays a critical role in neuronal apoptosis.  相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase mediates cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell survival by regulating signaling pathways activated by receptor protein tyrosine kinases (RPTKs), including the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-IR). We analyzed the upstream signaling components of the MAP kinase pathway, including RPTKs, in human breast cancer cell lines and found that some of those components were overexpressed. Importantly, signaling molecules such as IGF-IR, insulin receptor, and insulin receptor substrate 1, leading to the MAP kinase pathway, were found to be concomitantly overexpressed within certain tumor lines, i.e., MCF-7 and T-47D. When compared with the nonmalignant and other breast tumor lines examined, MCF-7 and T-47D cells displayed a more rapid, robust, and sustained MAP kinase activation in response to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulation. By contrast, IGF-I treatment led to a sustained down-regulation of MAP kinase in those lines overexpressing ErbB2-related RPTKs. Interestingly, blocking the MAP kinase pathway with PD098059 had the greatest antiproliferative effect on MCF-7 and T-47D among the normal and tumor lines tested. Furthermore, addition of an IGF-IR blocking antibody to growth medium attenuated the ability of PD098059 to suppress the growth of MCF-7 and T-47D cells. Thus, our study suggests that concomitant overexpression of multiple signaling components of the IGF-IR pathway leads to the amplification of IGF-I-mediated MAP kinase signaling and resultant sensitization to PD098059. The enhanced sensitivity to PD098059 implies an increased requirement for the MAP kinase pathway in those breast cancer cells, making this pathway a potential target in the treatment of selected breast malignancies.  相似文献

Previous studies have indicated that proapoptotic stresses downregulate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase [PI(3)K]/Akt survival pathway via the activation of acid-sphingomyelinase (A-SMase) and ceramide production. Ceramide induces apoptosis and inhibits PI(3)K activity without altering expression, association, or phosphorylation of receptors, adapter proteins, or PI(3)K subunits. PI(3)K inhibition by ceramide is associated with recruitment of caveolin 1 to PI(3)K-associated receptor complexes within lipid raft microdomains. Overexpression of caveolin 1 alone is sufficient to alter PI(3)K activity and sensitizes fibroblasts to ceramide-induced cell death. Most importantly, antisense expression of caveolin 1 dramatically reduces ceramide-induced PI(3)K deregulation and results in a loss-of-function stress response similar to that in A-SMase-deficient cells. Stress-induced recruitment of caveolin 1 to receptor complexes was found to be dependent on A-SMase since cell lines deficient in A-SMase did not exhibit caveolin 1 association with PI(3)K receptor complexes. Thus, a genetic link between A-SMase activation and caveolin 1-induced inhibition of PI(3)K activity exists. These results led us to propose that stress-induced changes in raft microdomains lead to altered receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction through the modulation of caveolin 1 by ceramide.  相似文献

Ceramides are potent lipid second messengers that are involved in apoptotic and hypoxic/ischaemic neurone death. We investigated the role of mitochondria and the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway in ceramide-induced cell death using human D283 medulloblastoma cells with a reduced mitochondrial DNA copy number (rho- cells) and a corresponding defect in mitochondrial respiration. Treatment with the complex I inhibitor rotenone, C2- or C8-ceramide induced cell death in D283 control cells, while rho- cells were significantly protected. In contrast, activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway by transient overexpression of the pro-apoptotic Bax protein or exposure to the kinase inhibitor staurosporine induced apoptosis to a similar extent in control and rho- cells. Overexpression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL failed to inhibit the toxic effect of C2-ceramide in D283 control cells, and no significant increase in caspase-3-like protease activity could be detected during the death process. Despite this, C2-ceramide induced significant chromatin condensation and cell shrinkage in D283 control cells, reminiscent of apoptosis. These morphological alterations were associated with the activation of calpains. Both apoptotic morphology and calpain activation were attenuated in rho- cells. Our data indicate that the apoptosis-inducing effect of C2-ceramide may require mitochondrial respiratory chain activity and can occur independently of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, but involves the activation of calpains.  相似文献

The activation of ceramide-generating enzymes, the blockade of ceramide degradation, or the addition of ceramide analogues can trigger apoptosis or necrosis in human cancer cells. Moreover, endogenous ceramide plays a decisive role in the killing of neoplastic cells by conventional anticancer chemotherapeutics. Here, we explored the possibility that membrane-permeable C2-ceramide might kill budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells under fermentative conditions, where they exhibit rapid proliferation and a Warburg-like metabolism that is reminiscent of cancer cells. C2-ceramide efficiently induced the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as apoptotic and necrotic cell death, and this effect was not influenced by deletion of the sole yeast metacaspase. However, C2-ceramide largely failed to cause ROS hypergeneration and cell death upon deletion of the mitochondrial genome. Thus, mitochondrial function is strictly required for C2-ceramide-induced yeast lethality. Accordingly, mitochondria from C2-ceramide-treated yeast cells exhibited major morphological alterations including organelle fragmentation and aggregation. Altogether, our results point to a pivotal role of mitochondria in ceramide-induced yeast cell death.  相似文献

Forced overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in intestinal cells has been shown to be associated with resistance to apoptosis. However, the role of physiologically-induced COX-2 in the regulation of apoptosis remains unclear. In the present study, we examined whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced COX-2 affects ceramide-induced apoptosis in RGM-1 gastric epithelial cells. An externally applied cell permeable ceramide analogue, C2-ceramide, caused RGM-1 cell death in a dose-dependent manner, whereas an inactive ceramide analogue, C2-dihydroceramide, did not. TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay showed that the C2-ceramide-induced cell death was apoptosis. Application of HGF rapidly induced the expression of COX-2, and HGF prevented the apoptotic cell death induced by C2-ceramide. However, the anti-apoptotic action of HGF was antagonized by coapplication of NS-398, a selective inhibitor of COX-2. Thus, these results indicate that COX-2 is involved in the survival signaling from HGF in gastric epithelial cells, and suggest a role for physiologically-induced COX-2 in the protection of the cells from apoptosis.  相似文献

In lymphocytes, Fas activation leads to both apoptosis and necrosis, whereby the latter form of cell death is linked to delayed production of endogenous ceramide and is mimicked by exogenous administration of long- and short-chain ceramides. Here molecular events associated with noncanonical necrotic cell death downstream of ceramide were investigated in A20 B lymphoma and Jurkat T cells. Cell-permeable, C6-ceramide (C6), but not dihydro-C6-ceramide (DH-C6), induced necrosis in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. Rapid formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within 30 min of C6 addition detected by a dihydrorhodamine fluorescence assay, as well as by electron spin resonance, was accompanied by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. The presence of N-acetylcysteine or ROS scavengers like Tiron, but not Trolox, attenuated ceramide-induced necrosis. Alternatively, adenovirus-mediated expression of catalase in A20 cells also attenuated cell necrosis but not apoptosis. Necrotic cell death observed following C6 exposure was associated with a pronounced decrease in ATP levels and Tiron significantly delayed ATP depletion in both A20 and Jurkat cells. Thus, apoptotic and necrotic death induced by ceramide in lymphocytes occurs via distinct mechanisms. Furthermore, ceramide-induced necrotic cell death is linked here to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, production of ROS, and intracellular ATP depletion.  相似文献

Although recent studies have demonstrated that ovarian follicular atresia occurs by apoptosis of granulosa cells, the intracellular signaling pathways involved in apoptotic cell death are still poorly characterized. We examined the role of ceramide as a candidate intracellular mediator of Fas-mediated signaling in cultured granulosa cells. Expression of Fas antigen was demonstrated by Western blot of granulosa cell lysates and immunostaining of cultured granulosa cells. Exposure of granulosa cells to anti-Fas monoclonal antibody (anti-Fas mAb) resulted in significant sphingomyelin hydrolysis, which was accompanied by a progressive increase in endogenous levels of ceramide. The addition of exogenous C6-ceramide induced drastic morphological change, including nuclear fragmentation and typical apoptotic DNA degradation. Furthermore, both anti-Fas mAb and C6-ceramide decreased phospholipase D (PLD) activity and diacylglycerol (DAG) concentrations in a time- or a dose-dependent manner. In addition, treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate completely attenuated the ceramide-induced inhibition of PLD activity and partially suppressed ceramide-induced apoptosis. These results indicate that the Fas/ceramide signaling pathway might play a role in granulosa cell apoptosis and suggest that the PLD/DAG pathway might be cross-linked to the Fas/ceramide pathway in apoptotic processes of granulosa cells.  相似文献

Increased expression of the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) protein-tyrosine kinase occurs in several kinds of cancer and induces neoplastic transformation in fibroblast cell lines. The transformed phenotype can be reversed by interfering with the function of the IGF-IR. The IGF-IR is required for transformation by a number of viral and cellular oncoproteins, including SV40 large T antigen, Ras, Raf, and Src. The IGF-IR is a substrate for Src in vitro and is phosphorylated in v-Src-transformed cells. We observed that the IGF-IR and IR associated with the C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) following ligand stimulation. We found that the SH2 domain of CSK binds to the tyrosine-phosphorylated form of IGF-IR and IR. We determined the tyrosine residues in the IGF-IR and in the IR responsible for this interaction. We also observed that fibroblasts stimulated with IGF-I or insulin showed a rapid and transient decrease in c-Src tyrosine kinase activity. The results suggest that c-Src and CSK are involved in IGF-IR and IR signaling and that the interaction of CSK with the IGF-IR may play a role in the decrease in c-Src activity following IGF-I stimulation.  相似文献

Endogenous insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) stimulates growth of cultured human intestinal smooth muscle by activating distinct mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-dependent and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathways. In Rat1 and Balb/c3T3 fibroblasts and in neurons the IGF-I receptor is coupled to an inhibitory G protein, G(i), which mediates G(beta)gamma-dependent MAP kinase activation. The present study determined whether in normal human intestinal smooth muscle cells the IGF-I receptor activates a heterotrimeric G protein and the role of G protein activation in mediating IGF-I-induced growth. IGF-I elicited IGF-I receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, resulting in the specific activation of G(i2). G(beta)gamma subunits selectively mediated IGF-I-dependent MAP kinase activation; G(alpha)i2 subunits selectively mediated IGF-I-dependent inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity. IGF-I-stimulated MAP kinase activation and growth were inhibited by pertussis toxin, an inhibitor of G(i)/G(o) activation. Cyclic AMP inhibits growth of human intestinal muscle cells. IGF-I inhibited both basal and forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels. This inhibition was attenuated in the presence of pertussis toxin. IGF-I stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation, in contrast to MAP kinase activation, occurred independently of G(i2) activation. These data suggest that IGF-I specifically activates G(i2), resulting in concurrent G(beta)gamma-dependent stimulation of MAP kinase activity and growth, and G(alpha)i2-dependent inhibition of cAMP levels resulting in disinhibition of cAMP-mediated growth suppression.  相似文献

GH and IGF-I are critical regulators of growth and metabolism. GH interacts with the GH receptor (GHR), a cytokine superfamily receptor, to activate the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), and initiate intracellular signaling cascades. IGF-I, produced in part in response to GH, binds to the heterotetrameric IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), which is an intrinsic tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor that triggers proliferation, antiapoptosis, and other biological actions. Previous in vitro and overexpression studies have suggested that JAKs may interact with IGF-IR and that IGF-I stimulation may activate JAKs. In this study, we explore interactions between GHR-JAK2 and IGF-IR signaling pathway elements utilizing the GH and IGF-I-responsive 3T3-F442A and 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell lines, which endogenously express both the GHR and IGF-IR. We find that GH induces formation of a complex that includes GHR, JAK2, and IGF-IR in these preadipocytes. The assembly of this complex in intact cells is rapid, GH concentration dependent, and can be prevented by a GH antagonist, G120K. However, it is not inhibited by the kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, which markedly inhibits GHR tyrosine phosphorylation. Moreover, complex formation does not appear dependent on GH-induced activation of the ERK or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathways or on the tyrosine phosphorylation of GHR, JAK2, or IGF-IR. These results suggest that GH-induced formation of the GHR-JAK2-IGF-IR complex is governed instead by GH-dependent conformational change(s) in the GHR and/or JAK2. We further demonstrate that GH and IGF-I can synergize in acute aspects of signaling and that IGF-I enhances GH-induced assembly of conformationally active GHRs. These findings suggest the existence of previously unappreciated relationships between these two hormones.  相似文献
