Endogenous IGF-I and αVβ3 Integrin Ligands Regulate the Increased Smooth Muscle Hyperplasia of Stricturing Crohn's Disease

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) regulates human intestinal smooth muscle growth by stimulating proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. IGF-I-stimulated growth is augmented when αvβ3 integrin is occupied by its ligands, fibronectin and vitronectin. Increased IGF-I expression and...
