Article Abstract
Background: The study aimed to examine the significance of insulin receptor (INSR) expression in predicting resistance to axitinib in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Methods: Clinicopathological data were collected from 36 consecutive patients with metastatic RCC who received axitinib. Thirty-three primary tumours were obtained for immunohistochemistry. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were created by transplanting primary tumours into immunodeficient mice, establishing axitinib-resistant PDX models. RCC cell lines were co-cultured with human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HGECs) treated with siRNA of INSR (HGEC-siINSR). Gene expression alteration was analysed using microarray.
Results: The patients with low INSR expression who received axitinib had a poorer outcome. Multivariate analysis showed that INSR expression was the independent predictor of progression-free survival. INSR expression decreased in axitinib-resistant PDX tumours. RCC cell lines showed upregulated interferon responses and highly increased interferon-β levels by co-culturing with HGEC-siINSR. HGECs showed decreased INSR and increased interferon-β after axitinib administration. RCC cell lines co-cultured with HGEC-siINSR showed high programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, which increased after interferon-β administration.
Conclusions: Decreased INSR in RCC could be a biomarker to predict axitinib resistance. Regarding the resistant mechanism, vascular endothelial cells with decreased INSR in RCC may secrete interferon-β and induce PD-L1.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynaecological malignancy in developed countries. Early detection remains challenging, with no established plasma-based biomarkers for clinical use. This study aimed to evaluate plasma adipokines and their receptor expression as diagnostic biomarkers for EC.

Compulsive eating behavior, characterized by the excessive intake of palatable high-sugar and high-fat foods despite negative consequences, may be associated with dysfunctional dopamine system, specifically involving the dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs). Here, we demonstrate that D2Rs regulate insulin receptor (InsR) signaling in the central amygdala, and this interaction plays a critical role in the persistent, compulsive-like palatable food-seeking behavior. The specific ablation of D2Rs in the CeA markedly enhances compulsive-like eating despite adverse consequences.

Hyperglycemia exacerbates type 2 diabetes (T2D), and metformin regulates glucose metabolism via the AMPK signaling pathway. Ferulic acid, a natural antioxidant from (sugar beet) pulp (SBP), an agri-processing byproduct, has unclear antidiabetic mechanisms. Our previous study showed that SBP extract improves obesity-induced T2D via the SIRT-1/AMPK pathway in C57BL/6J mice.

Insulin resistance is a key driver of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), progressing to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study investigated the effects of geniposide (GP) on insulin sensitivity and hepatic fibrosis in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NASH model. C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for five weeks and subsequently divided into normal chow (NC), HFD, HFD with GP 50 mg/kg (GP50), and HFD with GP 100 mg/kg (GP100) groups.

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system regulates implantation, placental development, and angiogenesis in eutherian mammals. However, little is known about the changes in this system in equine placenta (chorioallantois; CA) and the endometrium (EN) during pregnancy, or the relationship to vascular endothelial growth factor () expression. The current study investigated the expression of the IGF system components, namely the ligands ( and ), their receptors (, , and ), and their binding proteins ( and s) in equine CA at 45 days, 4, 6, 10, and 11 months of gestational age (GA) and immediately postpartum (PP), and in equine EN at 4, 6, 10, and 11 months GA.
