  • Title: Overexpression of the human type-1 insulin-like growth factor receptor in rat L6 myoblasts induces ligand-dependent cell proliferation and inhibition of differentiation.
    Author: Quinn LS, Roh JS.
    Journal: Exp Cell Res; 1993 Oct; 208(2):504-8. PubMed ID: 8375479.
    Abstract:
    The human type-1 insulin-like growth factor receptor was overexpressed in rat L6 skeletal myoblasts using a retroviral expression vector. At low concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-I (1-10 ng/ml), dose-dependent stimulation of myoblast differentiation was similar in control L6 myoblasts and L6 myoblasts which overexpressed the type-1 insulin-like growth factor receptor. At high concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-I (50-100 ng/ml), L6 myoblasts which overexpressed the receptor did not undergo terminal differentiation and proliferated to form multilayers, while differentiation of control myoblasts was further stimulated. These findings indicate that overexpression of the type-1 IGF receptor can stimulate proliferation and inhibit differentiation in skeletal myoblasts in a ligand-dependent manner.
