Figure 1. Figure 1.

Bacterial infection attenuates somatic growth by inducing release of proinflammatory cytokines from leukocytes. Cytokines, such as IL‐1, TNF‐α, and IL‐6 induce proteolysis and lipolysis and also modulate pituitary GH secretion 89,90,232. The reduction in circulating GH is paralleled by an immediate decline in hepatic IGF‐I secretion and an increase in the serum levels of some IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). The result is a reduction in the level of IGF‐I at the tissue level. In addition, cytokines have direct effects on hepatic metabolsim (see Table 1), including direct inhibitory effects on IGF‐I secretion, induction of acute phase protein synthesis, and glycogenolysis.

Effects of vagotomy on the LPS‐induced decrease in locomotor activity (upper) and increase in IL‐1β mRNA in hypothalamus (lower). As shown in the upper graph, subdiaphragmatic vagotomy prevented LPS‐induced sickness as indicated by locomotor activity during a 4‐min test. The lower graph shows that vagotomy prevented the LPS‐induced expression of IL‐1β in murine hypothalamus. Collectively, these data suggest a neural mechanism of communication between the peripheral immune system and CNS.

Figure 3. Figure 3.

Intracellular substrates and signaling pathways in IGF‐I signal transduction in myeloid cells occurs via the transmembrane IGF‐I receptor (IGF‐IR). Insulin‐like growth factor‐I regulates the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3′‐kinase (PI3‐K) in promyeloid cells by inducing the tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS‐1 and IRS‐2. The β subunit of the IGF‐IR directly phosphorylates IRS‐1 and −2 and subsequently activates PI3‐K. There are a number of well‐known downstream targets of PI3‐K, such as GLUT 4 glucose transporters, the 70 Kda ribosomal S6 kinase, some isotypes of protein kinase C, and the protein kinase B (Akt). The question marks signify that the complete pathways between 3′phosphorylated derivatives of PI and the regulation of biologically important genes is not yet fully understood. Insulin‐like growth factor‐I has also been shown to activate the ERK/MAPK pathway by interacting with Shc and the subsequent intermediate proteins, Grb‐2 and Sos. Activation of these pathways by IGF‐I may explain this growth factor's ability to promote survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic cells.
