Population
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) serum, cultured trout hepatoma cells, and cultured fish and human cells
Comparison
Purified 30 kDa trout IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) vs Human IGFBP-1 and -4
Design
Preclinical
Key result
Trout IGFBP inhibited IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, with an inhibitory effect comparable to human IGFBP-1 and -4.

Trout IGFBP functionally conserved with human isoforms; extends evolutionary insights but leaves open any clinical relevance.
The IGFBP molecule is structurally and functionally conserved in evolutionarily ancient vertebrate species such as bony fish.
Garmong et al. (2001) studied this question. Trout IGFBP vs. Human IGFBP-1 and -4 was evaluated on Inhibition of IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Trout IGFBP inhibited IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, with an inhibitory effect comparable to human IGFBP-1 and -4.
