Abstract

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors/medulloblastoma (PNET/MB) have similarities to neuroectodermal progenitor cells of the developing CNS. Since insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) exerts pleiotrophic effects on cells in the developing CNS, we evaluated the production, mitogenic effects and signaling pathways of IGF-I in PNET/MB cells and found that IGF-I is an autocrine growth factor in human PNET/MB cell lines tested. Stimulation of DAOY cells by IGF-I led to phosphorylation of its cognate receptor (IGF-IR) and resulted in cell proliferation. These effects of IGF-I were suppressed by IGF-IR blocking antibodies and by PD 98059, MAP kinase pathway inhibitor. The results demonstrate the existence of an autocrine IGF-I/IGF-IR loop and indicate that IGF-I promotes proliferation via MAP kinase pathway.
