Certain peptides may interact with blood pressure medications or affect blood sugar levels in diabetic patients
These include prostate-specific antigen (PSA), human kallikrein 2, trypsin, and cathepsin D, which were identified to degrade IGFBPs, thus releasing free mitogenic IGF-I ( When compared to the benign prostate epithelium, primary prostate cancer had higher levels of IGF-1R expression, which is further escalated in metastasis ( In vitro , studies indicated that IGF-I stimulated the proliferation of various prostate cancer cell lines (22Rv1 and DU145) by the activation of the AKT/ERK/MAPK pathway ( In vivo , PC-3 tumors proliferate at a considerably slower rate in IGF-I-deficient hosts than in IGF-I-expressing hosts ( in vivo studies reported that the blocking of IGF-1R in combination with castration inhibited prostate cancer growth ( IGFBP-3 is the most prevalent form of the IGFBPs, which has been linked with prostatic growth
