Summary
We have previously shown an increase in the level of plasma membrane IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) in DES-induced kidney tumors. In this study, we demonstrate that DES treatment of Syrian hamsters increases the level of renal nIGF-lR by 3.0- to 4.0-fold over control levels, while the transcripts of DNA polymerase β, a repair enzyme, decreased by 8.0- to 10.0-fold in DES-induced kidney tumors compared with control levels. These findings suggest that increased mitogenic signals, through enhanced level of nIGF-lR, coupled with attenuation in the DNA repair system may play an important role in the induction of DES-induced carcinogenesis.
