1 Estradiol 17-beta represses insulin-like growth factor I receptor expression in smooth muscle cells from rabbit cardiac recipients. Estradiol insulin-like growth factor I Oryctolagus cuniculus
2 Earlier, we found estradiol 17-beta treatment of cardiac allograft recipients attenuates transplant arteriosclerosis; this was associated with inhibition of vascular cell proliferation induced by IGF-I. Estradiol insulin-like growth factor I Oryctolagus cuniculus
3 RESULTS: Estradiol 17-beta treatment of rabbits significantly inhibited IGF-IR expression in the allograft coronary arteries and abrogated cell proliferation induced by IGF-I in the allograft aorta compared with placebo-treated recipients (65.4+/-5% vs. 500+/-139%, P<0.002). Estradiol insulin-like growth factor I Oryctolagus cuniculus
