Confocal imaging of IGF-1R reveals nuclear accumulation in TAO fibroblasts following treatment with either IGF-1 or GD-IgG.

Abstract

<p>(<b>A</b>) untreated (control, upper panels) or IGF-1 (10 nM) (lower panels) for 16 h. reveals localization of IGF-1Rα (green) as indicated by the yellow overlay nuclei in GD fibroblasts. Chromatin was stained by PI (red). Control fibroblasts failed to respond. The images labeled IGF-1Rβ (green) demonstrate an absence of effects with IGF-1 on nuclear accumulation. Scale bar, 25 µm. (<b>B</b>) IGF-1Rα (green) co-localizes in the PI-stained nuclei (yellow overlay) following treatment with GD-IgG (15 µg/ml) in GD but not in control fibroblasts. (<b>C</b>) Dexamethasone (10 nM) attenuates the nuclear accumulation of IGF-1Rα (<b>D</b>) as does the IGF-1R-blocking mAb, 1H7 (5 µg/ml). These experiments have been performed 4 times.</p
