  1. 01LabIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In human dermal fibroblasts, Long-R3-IGF-I was approximately 20-fold more potent than IGF-I in stimulating growth in an MTT proliferation assay.

    In plain wordsIn cells, Long-R3-IGF-I stimulated fibroblast growth about 20 times more strongly than regular IGF-I.

    Summary
    The IGF-I analogue Long-R3-IGF-I which has little affinity for the IGFBPs was approximately 20-fold more potent in this assay

    Fibroblast proliferation was examined using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric cytochemical bioassay.
  2. 02LabIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In human dermal fibroblasts, the growth-stimulating activity of Long-R3-IGF-I was unaffected by exogenous IGFBP-3.

    In plain wordsIn cells, adding IGFBP-3 did not change how well Long-R3-IGF-I stimulated fibroblast growth.
