Mouse Anti-Human IGF1R CT-1 (C terminal) Monoclonal Antibody, clone NBK2

Background: Local anesthetics (LAs) may generate neurotoxicity in neurons. In the current study, we explored the mechanisms by which microRNA-132 (miR-132) regulated the neurotoxicity of human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) induced by bupivacaine (BUP). Methods: CCK-8, flow cytometry, EdU detection, qRT-PCR and western blotting were used to explore the cell viability, apoptosis and gene expression, respectively. Results: In this study, we found that 600 mM BUP dramatically inhibited SH-SY5Y cells viability. In addition, BUP induced cell apoptosis and neurotoxicity via increasing active caspase-3 and cleaved PARP1 levels. More importantly, the level of miR-132 was significantly up-regulated in BUP-treated cells, which was significantly reversed by miR-132 inhibitor. In addition, dual-luciferase assay indicated IGF1R was the directly binding target of miR-132 in cells. Our study further indicated that the level of IGF1R was markedly decreased by BUP interference, while miR-132 inhibitor exerted the opposite effect. Furthermore, BUP induced apoptosis and neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells were attenuated by IGF1, which further confirmed IGF1R was the downstream target of BUP in SH-SY5Y cells. Conclusion: In the present study, miR-132 played important roles in regulating BUP-induced neurotoxicity through IGF1R and may act as a promising molecular target for the treatment of human neurotoxicity induced by BUP.

The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) plays a vital role in immunomodulation and muscle and bone growth. The copy number variation (CNV) is believed to the reason for many complex phenotypic variations. In this paper, we statistically analyzed the copy number and the expression profiling in different tissue types of the IGF1R gene using the 422 samples from four Chinese beef cattle breeds, and the mRNA of IGF1R was widely expressed in nine tissue types of adult cattle (heart, liver, kidney, muscle, fat, stomach, spleen, lung and testis). Results of CNV and growth traits indicated that the IGF1R CNV was significantly associated with body weight and body height of Jinnan (JN) cattle and was significantly associated with body height and hucklebone width of Qinchuan (QC) cattle, making IGF1R CNV a promising molecular marker to improve meat production in beef cattle breeding. Bioinformatics predictions show that the CNV region is highly similar to the human genome, and there are a large number of transcription factors, DNase I hypersensitive sites, and high levels of histone acetylation, suggesting that this region may play a role in transcriptional regulation, providing directions for further study of the role of bovine CNV and economic traits.
