title: Post-transcriptional regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 mRNA in diabetic rat liver.
abstract: IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2 mRNAs are increased in the livers of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. A corresponding increase is observed in transcription of the IGFBP-1 but not the IGFBP-2 gene, indicating that the increase in steady-state levels of IGFBP-2 mRNA is a post-transcriptional effect. IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2 mRNAs also differ in the rapidity of their response to insulin treatment: hepatic IGFBP-1 mRNA is normalized within 1 h, IGFBP-2 mRNA decreases more slowly. These differences suggest that IGFBP-2 may provide more chronic adaptation to metabolic change than IGFBP-1.
