Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is an important regulator of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability and IGF-independent growth responses. IGFBP-3 is stored within the alpha granules of platelets, permitting its rapid and concentrated delivery at sites of platelet lysis. Previous studies have demonstrated a lack of mRNA for IGFBP-3 in platelets and in the megakaryocytes from which platelets are formed, indicating that IGFBP-3 is endocytosed from the extracellular milieu. In this study, the binding of IGFBP-3 to platelet membranes was characterised to determine whether specific cell-surface IGFBP-3 receptors exist that might account for IGFBP-3 uptake into the alpha granules by megakaryocytes. IGFBP-3 binding to platelets was saturable, requiring at least 4.6 nM (125)I-labelled IGFBP-3 to occupy all binding sites present on 100 microg of platelet membranes. Non-linear regression analysis revealed the presence of a single class of high-affinity binding sites for IGFBP-3 on platelets, with a K(d) between 2.6x10(-10) and 8.0x10(-10) M and 1.51-4.89x10(11) binding sites/mg of platelet membrane. Kinetic analysis of (125)I-IGFBP-3 binding to platelet membranes demonstrated a forward rate (k(on)) of 8.1x 10(8) per M per min. The reverse rate constant (k(off)) was calculated to be 1.6x10(-1) per min (t(1/2)=4.2 min) and confirmed experimentally to be 3.3x10(-1) per min (t(1/2)=2.1 min). Binding of (125)I-IGFBP-3 to platelet membranes was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by recombinant Escherichia coli IGFBP-3. In contrast, rat IGFBP-4 was not able to compete with (125)I-IGFBP-3 for platelet binding sites. Additionally, concentrations of IGF-I ranging from a 15-fold to a 40 000-fold molar excess caused a consistent 20% reduction in (125)I-IGFBP-3 binding. The mechanism of this slight reduction is unknown, but suggests that IGF-I does not compete directly with IGFBP-3 for receptor binding sites. However, it does not preclude the possibility that IGF-I may be endocytosed into the alpha granules as part of an IGF-I-IGFBP-3 complex. These results demonstrate the presence of high-affinity binding sites for IGFBP-3 on human platelet membranes. The nature and kinetics of the binding reaction are characteristic of a receptor-ligand interaction. This receptor may be involved in the endocytosis of circulating IGFBP-3 by megakaryocytes for packaging within the alpha granules of platelets. It is unknown if it is present in other tissues.

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) stimulates the production of extracellular matrix by cartilage cells and this action is mediated through the Type 1 IGF receptor. Expression of the genes for the IGF receptor and for IGF-I was examined in normal and osteoarthritic (OA) human articular cartilage by in situ hybridization. RNA transcripts for Type 1 receptor were detected in all 73 tissue samples and in 80-100% of chondrocytes per section. Signal for the receptor was present in normal and OA cells, and the highest message levels were in the tissues exhibiting advanced pathology. Strong message signals in the cells of the more advanced lesions were also noted for IGF-I, whereas little or no IGF-I mRNA was detected in normal samples. Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) induces degradation of extracellular matrix by cartilage cells, and expression of this gene was examined with digoxygenin-labeled oligonucleotide probes. mRNA transcripts were detected in only one in five of the cartilage samples taken from OA joints. Unlike IGF-I, expression did not correlate with the degree of OA pathology and positive cells were demonstrated also in samples from young normal cartilage. IL-6 mRNA was present both in surface and deep cells of fibrillated OA cartilage, but no signal was evident in histologically normal cartilage from OA tissue or in normal young joints.

Specificity Of Binding

ABSTRACT Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) analogues were produced with the aim of identifying IGF-I residues that contribute to the specificity of binding to the type 1 IGF receptor as opposed to the insulin receptor. Receptor binding properties of a series of A- and B-domain analogues were compared using rat L6 myoblasts, soluble human IGF type 1 receptors and soluble human insulin receptor isoforms HIR-A (−Ex11) and HIR-B (+Ex11). IGF-I analogues, [Leu8] IGF-I and [Phe59] IGF-I, were shown to exhibit respectively, a 28- and 17-fold decrease in affinity for the HIR-A with only a 6- and 5-fold decrease in affinity for the human IGF type 1 receptor. In contrast, the analogue [His4] IGF-I was equipotent to IGF-I in binding to the soluble type 1 IGF receptor while showing 7-fold and 4-fold increases in HIR-A and HIR-B binding respectively. Furthermore, [Leu62] IGF-I was 8-fold less potent than IGF-I in soluble IGF type 1 receptor binding but only showed a 2-fold decrease in HIR-A and HIR-B binding. Our study supports the conclusion that the co-evolution of the IGF-I and insulin receptor/ligand systems has resulted in subtle structural differences in the A- and B-regions of each ligand important for defining receptor binding specificity.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the regulation of insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) by IGFs in primary cultures of rat articular chondrocytes (RAC). Employing Western ligand blotting, immunoprecipitation and Northern blot analysis, RAC were found to secrete IGFBP-5 (29 kDa) and IGFBP-4 (24 kDa) as the predominant IGFBPs, as well as IGFBP-2 (32–30 kDa) and IGFBP-3 (43–39 kDa) as the minor species. Treatment of cells with IGF-I and IGF-II resulted in a dose-dependent increase of IGFBP-5 and a small increase in IGFBP-4 in conditioned media (CM). Des(1–3) IGF-I and [Gln6, Ala7,Tyr18, Leu19] IGF-II ([QAYL] IGF-II), which bind to the type 1 IGF receptor but not to IGFBPs, also induced IGFBP-5 peptide, although the increase was less than with IGF-I or IGF-II treatment of RAC. [Leu27] IGF-II, which does not bind to the type 1 IGF receptor but binds to IGFBPs, resulted in little induction of IGFBP-5, while [QAYL-Leu27] IGF-II, which has reduced affinity for both the type 1 IGF receptor and IGFBPs, did not increase IGFBP-5. These data suggest that the increase in IGFBP-5 in CM is modulated by both the type 1 IGF receptor and the interaction between IGFs and IGFBPs. Northern blotting analysis showed that IGF-I, IGF-II and des(1–3) IGF-I treatment of RAC increased steady state levels of IGFBP-5 mRNA, suggesting that the IGF-mediated increase in IGFBP-5 is transcriptionally modulated. Interestingly, the increase in IGFBP-5 peptide levels and mRNA were not parallel, suggesting the possibility of post-translational modifications of IGFBP-5, such as those seen with IGFBP-5 protease. IGFBP-5 protease activity was detectable in untreated CM, whereas treatment with IGF-I and IGF-II partially protected IGFBP-5 from proteolysis. In summary, treatment of RAC with IGF-I and IGF-II results in dose-dependent increases in both IGFBP-5 peptide in the CM and mRNA levels. These changes are mediated by interactions via the type 1 IGF receptor as well as IGFBPs, both transcriptionally and post-translationally. Journal of Endocrinology (1996) 148, 355–369
