title: Association of insulin receptor substrate-1 with integrins.
abstract: Insulin stimulation was found to promote association of the alpha v beta 3 integrin (a vitronectin receptor) with insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), an intracellular protein that mediates insulin signaling by binding other signaling molecules, including growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) and phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase. Insulin-treated cells expressing the alpha v beta 3 integrin showed 2.5 times more DNA synthesis when plated on vitronectin than on other substrates, whereas cells expressing another vitronectin receptor, alpha v beta 5, did not show this difference. The association between integrin and IRS-1 may be a mechanism for the synergistic action of growth factor and extracellular matrix receptors.
