Species difference in IGF-I control of IGFBP-3 mRNA leaves open optimal fibroblast models; supports bovine cells for transcriptional regulation studies.
Expression of mRNA encoding IGFBP-3 is differentially controlled by IGF-I in bovine and human fibroblasts, suggesting different models for studying transcriptional versus posttranscriptional regulation.
Bale et al. (1992) studied this question.
