IGF1R may serve as a prognostic indicator and a guide for perioperative treatment strategies in early-stage lung cancer. In conclusion, our findings underscore an association between IGF1R expression and poor survival and PD-L1 expression in NSCLC.

The prognoses of AML patients are significantly associated with abnormally expressed lncRNAs, which may be used as prognostic indicators for predicting the patient outcomes.

Collectively, these findings suggest that TEAD4 novel transcriptional target RBM8A interacts with EIF4A3 to increase IGF1R and IRS-2 expression and activate PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby further promoting the malignant phenotype of BC cells.

In summary, this study suggested that GQBZF and its key active components (glycyrol and emodin) can suppress IGF1R/PI3K/PDK1 and VEGFR2-related signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and migration and inducing apoptosis. These findings provided an important strategy for developing new agents and facilitated clinical use of GQBZF against GC.

Consistently, nutrient restriction improved the efficacy of IGF1R inhibition in a Fra-2 dependent manner. Overall, our results point to a crucial role of Fra-2 in the cellular stress response due to nutrient restriction typical of pancreatic cancer and support IGF1R as a promising and vulnerable target in miR-15a downmodulated PDAC.

LHPP exerts inhibitory effects on the adhesion and proliferation of GC cells by suppressing the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) and modulating downstream signaling pathways. Consequently, LHPP holds potential as a biomarker for targeted therapy involving IGF1R inhibition in GC patients.

Our findings suggest that miR-221, miR-320a, miR-133a, miR-133b and their targets P27kip1, TGFBR1, and IGF1R might play a critical role in the development and progression of leiomyosarcoma. It provides a plausible basis for the use of the miRNAs investigated as biomarkers in leiomyosarcoma diagnostics.

Additionally, elevated IGF1R expression promotes NK cell expansion and enhances its functional activation, thereby inhibiting AML cell proliferation. Collectively, these findings highlight the clinical potential of IGF1R in the effective treatment of AML through the activation of NK cell proliferation and function and suggest that it may represent a potential predictive marker of AML prognosis.

In biliary malignancies, addition of the immune checkpoint inhibitor to Gemcitabine/Cisplatin has recently become the standard of care in first line treatment, however, the overall survival benefit is moderate in an all-comer population. Our data suggest that an immune suppressive tumor microenvironment associates with suppressive myeloid populations, in addition to high stromal angiogenic activity. Our work thus provides a highly detailed and comprehensive analysis of the iCCA tumor microenvironment and an exploratory analysis of tumor-stromal cell interactions.

Enhanced expression of ASS1 and PYCR1 via IGF1R pathways rewired arginine and proline metabolism, promoting DDP resistance in OSCC under hypoxia. Linsitinib targeting IGF1R signaling may lead to promising combination therapy options for OSCC patients with DDP resistance.

It has the potential to be repurposed as an anti-colorectal cancer agent, but further studies are still required to investigate the detailed mechanisms of monensin underlying its anti-cancer motion.Key MessagesMonensin inhibits the cell proliferation and the migration, induces apoptosis and inhibits cell cycle progression in human colorectal cancer cells.Monensin may exert anti-cancer activity by targeting multiple signaling pathways, including the IGF1R signaling pathway.Monensin has the potential to be repurposed as an anti-colorectal cancer agent.

Here, we used a drug synergy screen that combined a ferroptosis inducer, RSL3, with 240 anti-tumor drugs from the FDA-approved drug library and identified lorlatinib to synergize with RSL3 in melanoma cells. Finally, lorlatinib treatment sensitized melanoma to GPX4 inhibition in preclinical animal models, and melanoma patients with low GPX4 and IGF1R expression in their tumors survived for longer period. Altogether, lorlatinib sensitizes melanoma to ferroptosis by targeting IGF1R-mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling axis, suggesting that combination with lorlatinib could greatly expand the utility of GPX4 inhibition to melanoma patients with IGF1R-proficient expression.

The present study identified positive association between IGF1R and VDR expression where most of the cases with strong VDR expression displayed strong IGF1R expression. These findings may contribute to current understanding on the role of VDR in BC and its interaction with IGF1R.

Human breast and mouse mammary tumors with reduced IGF1R are associated with upregulation of several pathways necessary for promoting metastasis supporting the conclusion that IGF1R normally helps maintain a metastasis suppressive tumor microenvironment. We further found that reduced IGF1R signaling in tumor epithelial cells dysregulates cadherin expression resulting in reduced cell adhesion.

This review will detail experience using the alpha emitter radium-223 (Ra, tradename Xofigo), that targets bone formation, in osteosarcoma, specifically related to patient selection, use of gemcitabine for radio-sensitization, and using denosumab to increasing the osteoblastic phenotype of these cancers. A case of an inoperable left upper lobe vertebral-paraspinal-mediastinal osteoblastic lesion treated successfully with Ra combined with gemcitabine is described. Because not all areas of osteosarcoma lesions are osteoblastic, but nearly all osteosarcoma cells overexpress IGF1R, and some subsets expressing Her-2, the anti-IGF1R antibody FPI-1434 linked to actinium-225 (Ac) or the Her-2 antibody linked to thorium-227 (Th) may become other means to provide targeted alpha particle therapy against osteosarcoma (NCT03746431 and NCT04147819).

Upregulated IGF1R expression in one resistant derivative was associated with sensitivity to linsitinib and a profile with upregulation of a YAP/TAZ signature to sensitivity to the YAP inhibitor CA3 in another...Overall, the heterogeneity in resistance mechanisms and commonality of the persister state present a considerable challenge for personalised therapy. Nevertheless, the reversibility of resistance may indicate a benefit from treatment interruptions or re-treatment following disease relapse in some patients.

Surprisingly, however, the absence of IGF1R from ODCs protected against clinical neuroinflammation in the EAE model. Together, our data indicate that IGF-1 signaling is not required for the function and survival of mature ODCs in steady-state and disease.

IGF2 triggers nuclear accumulation of YAP1 and upregulates YAP1 target signatures, however, these effects were abolished by either IGF1R knockdown or inhibition with PPP (picropodophyllin, an IGF1R inhibitor). Using CRC organoid and in vivo studies, we found that co-targeting IGF1R and YAP1 with PPP and VP (verteporfin, a YAP1 inhibitor) enhanced anti-tumor effects compared with PPP treatment alone...In conclusion, this study revealed a novel molecular mechanism by which CAFs promote CRC progression. The findings highlight the translational potential of the IGF2-IGF1R-YAP1 axis as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC.

We demonstrate that combined trametinib and ganitumab is effective in a genomically diverse panel of RAS-mutated FN RMS preclinical models.

Transfection of ccRCC cells with pre-let-7c-5p significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion, and IGF1R expression. These findings suggest that miRNA dysregulation is involved in ccRCC progression, specifically through invasion, and that let-7c-5p downregulation contributes to the aggressiveness of small ccRCC tumors, in part, through its regulation of IGF1R.

On the other hand, MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase)1/2 inhibitors, including PD0325901, selumetinib, trametinib and TAK-733, selectively antagonized IGF1R signaling-mediated antiestrogen resistance but did not affect cell proliferation under normal growth conditions. In a group of 219 patients with metastasized ER+ breast cancer, strong pMEK staining showed a significant correlation with no clinical benefit of first-line tamoxifen treatment. We propose a critical role for MEK activation in IGF1R signaling-mediated antiestrogen resistance and anticipate that dual-targeted therapy with a MEK inhibitor and antiestrogen could improve treatment outcome.
