To determine whether insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulated apical sodium/hydrogen exchange (NHE), confluent primary human proximal tubule cells (PTC) were incubated for 48 h in serum-free media in the presence or absence of 100 ng/ml IGF-I. Cells incubated in IGF-I demonstrated significant increases in thymidine incorporation (181.2 +/- 30.3% of control values; n = 12, P = 0.01) and in resting intracellular pH (pHi) (7.52 +/- 0.08 vs. 7.30 +/- 0.06; n = 20, P < 0.05), as determined by 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein quantitative microspectrofluorometry. Following intracellular acid loading, ethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA)-inhibitable H+ efflux and 22Na+ influx after 1 min were both significantly enhanced in IGF-I-treated cells compared with controls (8.78 +/- 1.69 vs. 3.03 +/- 0.72 mM/min and 3.47 +/- 0.49 vs. 1.55 +/- 0.35 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). 22Na+ uptake studies in PTC grown on permeable supports demonstrated preferential stimulation of apical vs. basolateral NHE. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) in IGF-I-treated and control cells for EIPA (0.5 and 1.1 microM, respectively) and for HOE-694 (4.0 and 10.0 microM, respectively) were also consistent with predominant activation of apical, rather than basolateral, NHE activity. Kinetic analysis revealed an increase in maximal transport velocity (Vmax, 15.50 +/- 1.50 vs. 7.26 +/- 3.07 mM/min; n = 10, P < 0.05), without a significant change in antiporter affinity for extracellular Na+. Incubation of PTC with 100 ng/ml IGF-I produced an acute, reversible, and EIPA-inhibitable pHi increase of 0.05 +/- 0.01 pH units (n = 5, P < 0.05). The results suggest that IGF-I may contribute to the metachronous stimulation of apical NHE and PTC growth observed in many physiological and pathological conditions involving the human kidney.

ABSTRACT Cultured chicken hepatocytes were used to investigate whether insulin and GH interact to regulate insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) production in vitro. In the first set of experiments hepatocytes were preincubated for 6 h in hormone-free medium, and the effects of various combinations of insulin and GH on IGF-I production over the next 24 h were quantified by radioimmunoassay. Basal IGF-I production was 5·36 pg IGF-I/μg DNA and this was increased 1·31±0·13-fold (mean ± s.e.m.) by insulin, 1·90±0·24-fold by GH and 4·46±0·68-fold by a combination of insulin and GH. These results demonstrate that insulin and GH interact synergistically to stimulate IGF-I production in vitro. The synergism with GH occurred at physiological concentrations of insulin with half-maximal stimulation occurring at an insulin concentration of 6 ng/ml. In hepatocytes which had been exposed to insulin immediately before the start of the experiment, the presence of insulin was no longer required for maximal stimulation of IGF-I production by GH. This in-vitro system will facilitate the study of the molecular basis of the interaction between insulin and GH. Journal of Endocrinology (1991) 128, 389–393

Abstract. Growth retardation is a major manifestation of Turner syndrome (TS). Since plasma growth hormone and somatomedin-C/insulin-like growth factor I (SM-C/IGF-I) levels are generally normal, growth failure has been ascribed to peripheral defects in SM-C/IGF-I receptors or action. We have measured the binding of [125I]SM-C/IGF-I to cultured fibroblast monolayers derived from patients with Turner syndrome, and have evaluated SM-C/IGF-I stimulation of both [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell replication. When compared to fibroblasts from normal adults, newborns, and agematched children, no significant differences were observed in specific binding of [125I]SM-C/IGF-I to fibroblast monolayers, and displacement curves demonstrated similar receptor affinities for all groups. Similarly, equivalent SM-C/IGF-I stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was seen in both Turner and control fibroblasts. In the absence of serum, SM-C/IGF-I, at a concentration of 10–25 ng/ml, stimulated thymidine incorporation 3.7–11.8-fold in Turner fibroblasts and 1.9–9.8-fold in control cells. In combination with 1.0% human hypopituitary serum (HHS), SM-C/IGF-I stimulated thymidine incorporation 20–70-fold in all cell lines. Cell replication in both TS and control cells was increased 90% by the combination of SM-C/IGF-I + 0.5% HHS, and 140% by SM-C/IGF-I + 0.5% HHS + dexamethasone. We conclude that TS fibroblasts have normal SM-C/IGF-I receptors and sensitivity, and are capable of enhanced DNA synthesis and replication following SM-C/IGF-I stimulation.

Crawford BA, Handelsman DJ. Recombinant growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I do not alter gonadotrophin stimulation of the baboon testis in vivo. Eur J Endocrinol 1994;131:405–12. ISSN 0804–4643 In vitro studies indicate a physiological role for insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in paracrine regulation of testicular function and recent clinical studies suggest a potential role for growth hormone (GH) and/or IGF-I in the treatment of hypogonadotrophic states in males. This study aimed to examine the effects of pretreatment with recombinant human GH (rhGH) or rhIGF-I on the response to gonadotrophins of the non-human primate testis in vivo. Using a balanced Latin square design with repeated measures, six prepubertal male hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas) were treated in a cross-over sequence for periods of 18 days with daily im injections of rhGH (0.4 IU·kg−1 · day−1), rhIGF-I (0.1 mg·kg−1 · day−1) or saline with a 2-week washout period between each treatment. A single im injection of hCG (1500 IU) increased serum testosterone (p = 0.0002) but neither rhGH nor rhIGF-I influenced the timing or magnitude of this response (p > 0.5). A single im dose of FSH (75 IU) stimulated immunoreactive inhibin (p = 0.01) but also was unaffected in magnitude or timing by pretreatment with rhGH or rhIGF-I (p> 0.2). Circulating IGF-I levels were increased independently by hCG (p = 0.01) and FSH (p < 0.0001) administration. These findings indicate that neither GH nor IGF-I pre-treatment enhance acute gonadal responses to gonadotrophin stimulation of the prepubertal non-human primate testis in vivo. These findings suggest that GH or IGF-I treatment of hypogonadotrophic men without somatotrophin deficiency is unlikely to be beneficial.
