Abstract
Introduction
Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) signaling is a complicated and regulated network essential for cells to proliferate and survive. The IGF-IGF1R axis consists of three receptor tyrosine kinases: IGF1R, insulin-like growth factor-2 receptor (IGF2R) and insulin receptor (INSR). The ligands for these receptors are insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) and serum insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) (1). IGF-1 and IGF-2 possess autocrine, paracrine and endocrine functions, and activate IGF1R signaling (2). These growth factors and their receptors are commonly overexpressed in malignant tumors; this overexpression may be used to assess cancer through sustained proliferative signals, anti-apoptotic events, invasion, metastasis and drug resistance in cancer cells (3).
IGF1R expression and activity increases in numerous tumor types, including ovarian cancer and rhabdomyosarcoma, and is reported to contribute to cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis (4,5). Since IGF1R functions as a membrane receptor, drugs, including IGF1R tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies against IGF1R and monoclonal antibodies against IGF1R ligands targeting this receptor, are of particular interest (6). Recently, the function of IGF1R in chemotherapeutic resistance has gained increasing attention, and relevant mechanisms of inducing resistance in cancer cells include overexpressing multi-drug-resistant proteins, dysregulating cell survival and death and interacting with the tumor microenvironment (7).
IGF1R signaling pathway
IGF1R structure and function
IGF1R is an insulin receptor family member, and a disulfide-linked heterotetrameric transmembrane glycoprotein (αββα) that contains an extracellular ligand-binding domain and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain (8,9). The ligand-binding specificity determinant is reflected in the amino-terminal cysteine-rich domain of the extracellular α subunit, primarily recognizing and binding to IGF-1 and IGF-2. The intracellular signal transduction depends on the tyrosine kinase activity the ligand in the transmembrane β subunit triggers, permitting specific insulin receptor substrates (IRS-1 to −4) and Src-homology collagen (Shc) to phosphorylate, activating downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathways (6). The specificity of IGF1R in vivo depends on tissue distribution, ligand-binding specificity and receptor differences in intrinsic signaling (10).
IGF1R is often expressed in normal tissues, serving multiple physiological functions in growth, development and feeding (11). The importance of IGF1R in prenatal and postnatal growth has been demonstrated using knockout mice (8). In muscle and bone tissues, IGF1R signaling promotes PI3K/AKT-mediated differentiation and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) (12). IGF1R also aids in the maintenance of the myocardium and brain (13).
Cardiac-specific IGF1R signaling promotes protective physiological hypertrophy, preserving left ventricular function and inhibiting pathological left ventricular remodeling (14). Furthermore, IGF1R contributes to glucose metabolism and neutrophil physiology (15), and is associated with the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and inflammation (16,17).
IGF1R is commonly overexpressed in cancer (18). The IGF1R signal promotes non-cancerous cells to malignantly transform (19), and possesses anti-apoptotic and mitogenic activity (20–22). In addition, IGF1R contributes to invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis of cancer (23–25). Excessively activating IGF1R promotes tumors to progress by increasing glycolysis and biomass production (26), and decreases tumor sensitivity to hypoxia, low pH and low glucose environments (27). In addition, expressing IGF1R increases the rate at which tumor cells proliferate and decreases the rate at which they are destroyed (28).
IGF1R gene regulation
The 5′-flanking region promoter of IGF1R is enriched in GC, and lacks the effective transcription initiation of the majority of eukaryotic genes usually requiring TATA and CCAAT boxes. This characteristic results in a partial difference in its gene regulation compared with other promoter regions (29,30).
IGF1R gene expression is regulated transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally
Previous studies have suggested that numerous transcription factors regulate the IGF1R gene. Transactivation factors include zinc finger protein specificity protein 1 (Sp1), forkhead box protein O3 (Foxo3), E2F1 transcription factor, Krüppel-like factor 6, EWS RNA binding protein 1-Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) fusion protein and high mobility group A1, all of which bind directly to the IGF1R promoter (31–34). In contrast, estrogen, BRCA1 DNA repair associated (BRCA1) and von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor inhibit IGF1R expression by binding to Sp1 (31,35). A previous study confirmed that WT1 specifically binds to co-WT1 cis-elements in the IGF1R proximal promoter region, and decreases IGF1R gene transcription and translation (36). Overexpressing MYB proto-oncogene transcription factor in tumor cells increases the expression of IGF-1 and IGF1R by increasing transcriptional activity (37).
IGF1R-associated signaling pathways
IGF1R is associated with multiple signaling pathways via downstream proteins, including IRS and PI3K (38–40). IGF1R, which mediates apoptosis-inhibiting signals, and enhances cell metabolism and protein synthesis via downstream mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR) kinase signaling, activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway (41–43). IGF1R activates the growth factor receptor bound protein 2 (Grb2)/RAS/RAF/MAPK signaling pathway to transduce cell growth and proliferation signals (44,45). IGF1R activation or overexpression is associated with invasion and metastasis of cancer cells, processes mediated by numerous signal transduction proteins that affect invasiveness (24,25). For example, phosphorylating IRS-1 affects the interactions between epithelial cadherin and β-catenin, and the crosstalk between the IGF axis and integrins (46). A previous study demonstrated that protein tyrosine kinase 6 forms a complex with IGF1R and the adaptor protein IRS-1, which modulates anchorage-independent growth via the regulation of IGF1R expression and phosphorylation (23).
Previously, crosstalk between IGF1R and other signaling pathways has been assessed, with studies focusing on interactions between IGF1R, steroid hormones and other receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) (47). The crosstalk between IGF1R and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling pathways (38), IGF1R and the classical Wnt signaling pathways (48,49), and IGF1R and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathways have also been further clarified (50). In addition, certain IGF1R signals have been newly identified, namely RTK heterodimers, including the INSR hybrid receptor, and IGF1R/INSR that function as dependent receptors intervening in IGF1R signaling and its regulation (51).
The IGF1R signaling pathway is regulated at multiple levels; the expression of IGF-2, the presence of IGF2R and high-affinity IGFBPs affects ligand-binding activity (52). In addition, other extracellular factors, including dendritic cells and integrins, may contribute to regulating IGF1R activity (53). Within cells, Notch and apoptosis inducing factor-1 regulates IGF1R kinase activity (54). Downstream, multiple IGF1R effectors participate in IRS/PI3K/AKT signal transmission, including MTOR complex 1, phosphatase and tensin homolog phosphohydrolase, ribosomal protein S6 kinases, ERK and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (5,55,56).
IGF1R and chemotherapy resistance
Overexpression of IGF1R is associated with poorer chemotherapy outcomes for patients with gastric cancer compared with those with low expression of IGF1R (57). Patients with co-expression of IGF1R and multi-drug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) have demonstrated a poorer response with adjuvant FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy (58). In patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer, the decreased expression of IGF1R was correlated with an improved response to chemotherapy (59). Blocking IGF1R signaling facilitates treating bladder cancer cells that are insensitive to chemotherapy (60). Similar phenomena have been reported for prostate and ovarian cancer when IGF1R signaling is blocked (61,62). Although the function of IGF1R in chemotherapy resistance has been confirmed, the mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. The present study assessed IGF1R-associated tolerance mechanisms from multiple aspects, including promoting proliferation, inhibiting apoptosis, and inducing changes to ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins and the extracellular matrix (ECM) (Fig. 1).
Promoting proliferation
A characteristic of tumor cells, persistent proliferation may be acquired in multiple ways (3). As chemotherapeutic resistance develops, certain signals elevate receptor proteins on tumor cell surfaces and permit cells to avoid growth signal control (57). Changing the receptor's molecular structure, which alters ligand restriction and promotes the downstream signal to activate, may achieve the same effect (63).
The Grb2/RAS/RAF/MAPK cascades serve crucial functions in cell proliferation and survival and are aberrantly activated in drug-tolerant cells. Numerous mechanisms increase IGF1R expression and activate IGF1R, thereby promoting signaling cascades and proliferation (64). WT1 is reportedly silenced in drug-resistant cells, which may degrade the inhibitory effect of WT1 on IGF1R transcription (65). Similar effects are reflected in the feedback loop between Foxo3, IGF1R and AKT (31). Micro (mi) RNA inhibits IGF1R expression by directly targeting the 3′ untranslated regions but CpG methylating the miRNA promoter region results in the downregulation, and the loss of the inhibitory effects, of IGF1R expression (66,67). MIR-143, MIR-503 and MIR-1271 regulate cisplatin resistance in human gastric cancer cell lines by targeting IGF1R (66–69). Normally, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7) directly binds to IGF1R and inhibits its function post-transcriptionally; however, studies indicate that, in chemotherapy-resistant cells, IGFBP7 expression significantly decreased (70). Therefore, IGF1R is overactivated once IGFBP7 inhibitory activity has decreased (71). Furthermore, inactivating IGF1R inhibits tumor cell proliferation by blockading G0/G1 and IGF1R binds to non-IGF ligands from extracellular spaces, cell membranes and the cytoplasm, which regulates cell proliferation and survival IGF-independently during chemoresistance (72,73).
In addition to overexpression, IGF1R over-activation is also important with respect to chemotherapeutic tolerance. Phosphorylated IGF1R increased in chemotherapeutic drug-resistant cell lines (74–76) and multiple mechanisms contribute to the over-activation of IGF1R, including increased constitutively secreted IGF-1 (63), transgelin overexpression (77) and the effect of the Src oncogene on IGF1R (78). By these processes, IGF1R signals promote tumor cells to proliferate and induce resistance by over-activating Grb2/RAS/RAF/MAPK cascades (64).
Inhibiting apoptosis
Anti-apoptosis is common to numerous tumors and chemotherapy-resistant cells evolve diverse strategies to limit or avoid apoptosis (3). The most common strategy is to eliminate the tumor suppressor function of p53 (79). Resistant cells also downregulate pro-apoptotic factors or increase the expression of anti-apoptotic factors to avoid apoptosis (80). IGF1R participates in apoptosis inhibition predominantly via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in drug-resistant cell lines but multiple other mechanisms are associated with IGF1R overexpression and inhibition of apoptosis in drug-resistant cells (81,82).
Previous studies have indicated that cancer chemotherapy is associated with inducing p53-dependent apoptosis responses (79). p53 is one of the most frequently mutated tumor suppressors and IGF1R overexpression inhibits wild-type p53 (WT-p53) via phosphorylated (p) AKT (80). This enhances the ubiquitination-promoting function of murine double minute 2, which decreases p53 protein production (79). Reciprocally, WT-p53 renders tumor cells more chemosensitive by inhibiting Sp1-induced transactivation of the IGF1R promoter and increasing the expression of pro-apoptotic protein p21 (81). Mutant p53 stimulates IGF1R promoter function in chemotherapeutic resistant cell lines (82). Furthermore, IGF1R regulates cisplatin resistance by targeting proto-oncogene Bcl-2, which is anti-apoptotic and affects drug resistance by binding to and inhibiting Bcl 2-associated X protein (BAX) and Bcl 2 homologous antagonist killer protein (83). IGF1R activation is also associated with decreased expression of IGFBP7, which is associated with the expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bim and chemotherapy tolerance-associated genes, including annexin A4 and protein kinase C 1 (84). Conversely, overexpressing IGFBP7 induces apoptosis and reverses tumor drug resistance (70).
Regulating ABC transporter proteins
The ABC is the largest protein transporter superfamily present in all organisms (85). This family of genes codes for different proteins (importers and exporters) and its increased expression decreases drug influx and increases efflux, decreasing therapeutic response (86). IGF1R signals participate in regulating ABC genes, including multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), MRP1, multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) (59,87–89). As such, IGF1R increases tumor resistance by increasing the expression of MDR1, a protein implicated in chemotherapeutic resistance (88). Expression of MRP3 and BCRP decreases or disappears in the presence of an IGF1R inhibitor (87) and overexpressing IGF1R results in increased MRP2 promoter activity via increased pAKT and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 in resistant cells (59,88). In addition, IGF1R silencing increases chemotherapeutic sensitivity via transcription inhibition of MRP-2 (59). Previous studies have demonstrated that overexpressing IGF1R and MRP1 was associated with chemotherapeutic resistance and poorer prognosis compared with malignancies with normal or low expression of IGF1R and MRP1, indicating that the co-expression of IGF1R/MRP1 in tumors may predict chemotherapeutic effects (88,89).
Interacting with ECM
The ECM is predominantly composed of fibrin (collagen and laminin) and proteoglycans (hyaluronic acid), which forms the structural framework for the majority of tissues (90). The ECM transfer signals to the cells via integrin binding and activation, which modulate cell proliferation, survival and migration and influence the tumor response to anti-cancer therapies (91,92).
Previous studies have indicated that IGF1R stabilizes the molecular structure of β1 integrin by protecting it from proteasomal degradation and promoting tumor cells to grow and proliferate (93). FAK, a substrate protein of IGF1R, is activated by integrin, affecting epithelial transformation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells IGF1R-independently (38). Extracellular fibronectin increases the activity of β1 integrin to increase the abundance of MAPK-phosphatase-1 and the receptor of activated C kinase (RACK-1) (62). In addition, establishing crosstalk between β1 integrin and IGF1R retains the phosphorylation of IGF1R, which helps stimulate downstream signaling of IGF1R, and contributes to cell proliferation and transformation (94). Previous studies have revealed that, in the presence of IGF1R, the β1 integrin receptor increased the recruitment of RACK-1 and mediated tumor cell migration (62). These changes contribute to chemotherapeutic tolerance.
Other mechanisms
Previous studies have revealed that IGF1R is sumoylated and translocated to the nucleus, which permits the receptor to interact with chromatin, and function as a transcriptional regulator (95–97). Nuclear IGF1R specifically binds to and functions as a transcriptional activator of its own promoter, and interferes with signaling pathways (98). Specifically, nuclear IGF1R interferes with Wnt signaling, which upregulates ABC drug transporters and modulates drug responses (99). Regarding the tumor microenvironment, activating IGF1R results in stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α, and the upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (100). A previous study demonstrated that overexpressing HIF-1α increased the expression of Bcl-2, decreased the expression of BAX, and induced the expression of MDR1 and MRP1 (101). These results offer novel insights into IGF1R-mediated chemotherapeutic resistance.
Conclusions
Chemotherapeutic resistance commonly results in cancer treatment failing, with previous studies confirming multiple resistance-associated mechanisms (102,103). Therefore, understanding how tumors develop resistance may help to identify improved drugs and increase patient survival rates.
Changes in drug transporter proteins, activating signaling pathways and ineffectively inducing cell death are primary mechanisms of chemotherapeutic resistance. IGF1R-mediated resistance includes promoting cells to proliferate, inhibiting apoptosis, inducing increased expression of ABC transporter proteins on cell membranes and inducing changes in the ECM. Transcription factors and miRNAs also intervene in regulating IGF1R transcriptionally and cause downstream signaling pathways to excessively activate by promoting increased IGF1R expression or loss of inhibitory effects to the IGF1R promoter. IGFBPs participate in regulating IGF1R post-transcriptionally, with the loss of IGF1R inhibition and enhanced expression of anti-apoptotic and chemotherapy resistance-associated genes. Following overexpression and over-activation, IGF1R predominantly triggers the Grb2/RAS/RAF/MAPK and PI3K/AKT cascades, which induce proliferation and inhibit apoptosis in chemotherapy-resistant tumor cell lines. IGF1R signaling regulates the expression of ABC transporter proteins via multiple mechanisms and renders chemotherapy less effective. The ECM interacts synergistically with IGF1R activity as chemotherapy-resistant cells develop; however, how this occurs remains unclear.
Overall, IGF1R signaling serves a crucial function in tumor chemotherapeutic tolerance. Recently, drug combinations that target predicted or identified chemoresistance markers have been suggested as the future direction of cancer treatment. As a membrane receptor, IGF1R is of particular interest in cancer drug targeting; however, IGF1R-mediated resistance mechanisms require further study. Furthermore, RTK heterodimer and IGF1R nuclear translocation may be associated with drug resistance, though few reports of this exist in the literature.
