Abstract Plasma clearance of insulin-like growth factors-I and -II (IGF-I and -II) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) from lactating goats (n=4) was determined following a single intravenous injection of the corresponding 125I-labelled human protein. Transfer of these proteins out of the vascular space was monitored by their subsequent appearance in mammary-derived lymph and milk. Clearance of 125I-IGFBP-2 from circulation was 0·37 ± 0·06 ml/min/kg, which is markedly greater than that of 125I-IGF-I or -II (0·11 ± and 0·12 ± 0·01 ml/min/kg respectively). This was also reflected in longer elimination half-lives for IGF-I (353 ± 6 min) and -II (254 ± 8 min) compared with IGFBP-2 (110 ± 9 min). Three hours after injection of the 125I-labelled protein, the plasma:lymph ratio of trichloroacetic acid-precipitable radioactivity was 1·54 ±0·04, 3·3 ±0·6 and 4·1 ±0·4 for IGFBP-2, IGF-I and -II respectively. The form of 125I-IGFBP-2 in lymph was not different from that of plasma. Elevation of plasma concentrations of IGFBP-2 by its intravenous infusion significantly decreased plasma half-life of both IGF-I and -II (251 ± 8 and 198 ±7 min respectively). Although the amount and rate of transfer of IGF into mammary-derived lymph was decreased slightly by IGFBP-2, concentrations eventually obtained were not different from control. However, secretion of IGFs into milk was significantly reduced by IGFBP-2, particularly in the case of IGF-I. These results are consistent with the ability of all three compounds to cross the vascular endothelium intact and of IGFBP-2 to decrease the uptake of IGF by mammary epithelium and subsequent secretion into milk. IGFBP-2 may well have acted to target plasma IGF towards non-mammary tissues, thus explaining the more rapid plasma clearance of IGFs in the presence of elevated IGFBP-2.

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) is produced by mesangial cells (MCs) and likely functions to modulate glomerular IGF-I activity. Although IGFBP-5 may be inhibitory for IGF-stimulated MC activity, preliminary studies suggested that IGFBP-5 acts directly on MCs. To investigate this further, we evaluated the effects of IGFBP-5 on rat MC migration. We found that the carboxy-truncated fragment, IGFBP-5-(1–169), inhibited IGF-I-stimulated migration, but intact IGFBP-5 simulated migration when IGF-I was not present. Demonstration that125I-labeled IGFBP-5 directly binds to MCs further supports an independent role for IGFBP-5. Because heparin inhibited MC binding of125I-IGFBP-5, we tested the heparin binding peptide, IGFBP-5-(201–218), for stimulatory activity. IGFBP-5-(201–218) stimulated MC migration, and this effect was inhibited by heparin. Because the disintegrin, kistrin, blocked IGF-I-induced migration but not migration induced by IGFBP-5-(201–218), the migratory induction mechanism for the two peptides is different. These data indicate that separate, specific regions of IGFBP-5 are responsible for interactive effects with IGF-I as well as direct effects on MC activity.

Abstract Although insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) is an abundant IGFBP in fetal and postnatal plasma, its regulation is not yet clearly understood. To address this question in sheep, we purified ovine IGFBP-2 and developed a homologous radioimmunoassay. We have studied its ontogenesis and measured serum concentrations of ovine IGFBP-2 after bovine growth hormone (bGH), ovine placental lactogen (oPL) and IGF-I treatment. Concentrations of IGFBP-2 were high at 125 days of gestation (550 ± 15 μg/l) but fell after birth P<0·05) and plateaued after 1 year of age (340 ± 20 μg/l). In lactating ewes, bGH treatment for 7 days significantly reduced (21%; P<0·05) IGFBP-2 relative to the saline-treated group. Similarly, in neonatal lambs, bGH treatment from day 3 to day 23 of life reduced (P<0·05) IGFBP-2 by 23% relative to the saline-treated group. oPL had no effect on serum levels of IGFBP-2 in the ewe or the neonatal lamb. In well-fed yearling lambs, treatment with IGF-I reduced IGFBP-2 values by 27% (P<0·05) relative to control animals. In yearling lambs, reduced nutrition increased plasma IGFBP-2 (41%; P<0·05). However this increase was abolished by IGF-I treatment. The changes in plasma levels of IGFBP-2 were positively related to changes in IGF-II while there was a negative relationship between circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-2 such that both IGF-I and IGF-II may play a role in the regulation of IGFBP-2 in serum.

We report the localization of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and a 25-kDa form of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGF-BP-1) in adult rat kidney. The antigens were localized using a rabbit anti-human IGF-I antibody, and a rabbit anti-human IGF-BP-1 antibody raised against human 25-kDa IGF-BP-1 purified from amniotic fluid. Immunohistochemistry by the avidin-biotin peroxidase conjugate technique showed that both peptides are located in the same nephron segments, in the same cell types. The most intense staining was in papillary collecting ducts. There was moderate staining also in cortical collecting ducts and medullary thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop. In collecting ducts the antigens were shown to be present in principal cells but not in intercalated cells. In distal convoluted tubules, cortical thick ascending limbs, and in structures presumptively identified as thin limbs of Henle's loops there was only modest staining. The macula densa, however, lacked immunoreactivity. Colocalization of IGF-I and IGF-BP-1 in the same cells supports the notion, derived from studies on cultured cells, that the actions of IGF-I may be modified by IGF-BPs that are present in the same location.
