Abstract IGF-I and -II have potent effects on proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro. These cells secrete both IGFs and expression of these peptides is regulated by several of the hormones and growth factors that promote bone resorption and/or formation. However, the physiological role(s) of IGFs in the remodelling process of adult bone is still unclear. Some confusion may arise from results influenced, in part, by differences in the state of osteoblast development of in vitro cultures. Several laboratories have demonstrated that murine osteoblast cultures progress from proliferating preosteoblasts, to mature differentiated osteoblasts that form an extracellular matrix, to cultures that form a mineralized matrix. We have recently documented changes in IGF-binding protein expression and secretion in these cultures. To complement and extend this work, we have examined IGF-I expression and secretion and IGF-II expression during in vitro osteoblast development. Steady-state mRNA levels of both IGF-I and -II increased from the earliest time examined, day 5 in culture, to a maximum at day 11 and, thereafter, declined. IGF-I secreted into the medium also changed in a biphasic manner, but IGF-II could not be quantitated due to the sensitivity of our assay. Secretion of IGF-I was lowest between days 8 and 14. IGF-I secretion on day 5 was significantly greater than day 8. Similarly, IGF-I secretion from day 17 to 26 was also greater than observed for days 8 to 14. If differentiation of the cells was inhibited, this late rise in IGF-I secretion was abolished. We conclude that IGF-I is an autocrine mitogen of the proliferating preosteoblasts. Further, we also suggest that the rise in IGF-I secretion, late in osteoblast development, may lead to sequestration of this mitogen in the extracellular matrix for release during a subsequent remodelling cycle.

Keloids are proliferative dermal growths representing a pathological wound-healing response. We report high proliferation rates in normal (NF) and keloid-derived fibroblasts (KF) cocultured with keloid-derived keratinocytes (KK). IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 mRNA and secreted IGFBP-3 in conditioned media were increased in NF cocultured with KK compared with NF but markedly reduced in KF cocultured with KK or normal keratinocytes (NK). IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-4 mRNA levels were elevated, whereas IGFBP-5 mRNA was decreased in KF cocultured with KK or NK. Significant increases in IGFBP-2 and -4 mRNA in KF cocultured with KK did not correlate with protein secretion. Downstream IGF signaling cascade components, phospho-Raf, phospho-MEK1/2, phospho-MAPK, PI-3 kinase, phospho-Akt, and phospho-Elk-1, were elevated in KF cocultured with KK. Addition of recombinant human IGFBP-3 or antibodies against IGF-I or IGF-IR significantly inhibited proliferation of KF. The bioavailability of IGF-I may be related to the levels of IGFBP-3 produced, which in turn influences KF proliferation, suggesting that modulation of IGF-I, IGF-IR, and IGFBP-3, individually or in combination, may represent novel approaches to the treatment of keloids.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether glucocorticoid administration had a beneficial effect on serum concentrations of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and on IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) in rats injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Adult male rats were injected with LPS or saline and pretreated with dexamethasone or saline. Dexamethasone administration decreased growth hormone (GH) receptor and IGF-I mRNA levels in the liver of control rats. LPS decreased GH receptor and IGF-I gene expression in the liver of saline-treated rats but not in the liver of dexamethasone-pretreated rats. In the kidney, GH receptor mRNA levels were not modified by dexamethasone or LPS treatment. However, LPS decreased renal IGF-I gene expression and dexamethasone pretreatment prevented this decrease. Serum concentrations of IGF-I were decreased by LPS, and dexamethasone pretreatment attenuated this effect. The gene expression of IGFBP-3 in the liver and kidney and its circulating levels were decreased by LPS. In control rats dexamethasone increased circulating IGFBP-3 and its gene expression in the liver, and decreased the proteolysis of this protein. Dexamethasone pretreatment attenuated the LPS-induced decrease in IGFBP-3 gene expression in the liver and prevented the LPS-induced decrease in IGFBP-3 gene expression in the kidney. Moreover, dexamethasone pretreatment attenuated the LPS-induced decrease in serum concentrations of IGFBP-3 and decreased the LPS-induced IGFBP-3 proteolysis in serum. In conclusion, dexamethasone pretreatment partially attenuates the inhibitory effect of LPS on serum IGF-I by blocking the decrease of its gene expression in the kidney as well as by attenuating the decrease in serum concentrations of IGFBP-3.

Effects of growth hormone (GH) and fasting on hepatic expressions of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-I-binding protein (IGFBP)-1, -2, -3, and -4 were examined in spontaneous dwarf rats (SDR), which completely and specifically lack GH among pituitary hormones. The hepatic expressions of mRNA encoding IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were reduced and IGFBP-1 mRNA was elevated in the SDR. Both chronic and acute administration of GH restored these changes, indicating the association of GH but not other pituitary hormones with hepatic expressions of these genes. In addition, the present examination revealed that mRNA level of IGFBP-2 was elevated in SDR, which could not be attenuated by exogenous GH, and that GH may not be directly relevant to the regulation of hepatic IGFBP-4 expression. Fasting for 2 days reduced IGF-I mRNA level and increased IGFBP-2 mRNA level in the SDR, as well as in the normal rat, suggesting the presence of factors other than reduced serum GH responsible for fasting-induced alteration in the expression of these mRNAs. On the other hand, fasting resulted in little change or even a reduction of IGFBP-1 mRNA level in the SDR.

ABSTRACT Pregnancy-associated endometrial α1-globulin (α1-PEG) is quantitatively the major secretory protein product, synthesized and secreted in vitro, of the human decidualized endometrium during pregnancy. This protein has been purified from cytosolic extracts of this tissue and has now been characterized as a 32 kDa somatomedin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein. Immunoreactive α1-PEG isolated from amniotic fluid exhibited identical physiochemical properties and IGF-I-binding characteristics. In cytosolic extracts of pregnancy endometrium, in incubation medium of this tissue and in amniotic fluid, the 32 kDa protein represented the major α1-PEG immunoreactive protein and major IGF-I-binding component. Purified α1-PEG and incubation medium of pregnancy endometrium competed for IGF-I with placental membrane IGF receptors in vitro. The implications of the endometrial source of IGF-I-binding protein are dicussed with reference to the origin of the amniotic fluid and serum small Mr IGF-binding protein and to the suggested paracrine effect upon trophoblast proliferation.

Abstract The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of in vitro non-enzymatic glycosylation of IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and whether this process affects its binding properties and its modulatory effect on IGF-I mitogenic activity. Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts were cultured and the IGFBP-3 released into the medium (CM) glycated with either labelled or unlabelled glucose. Parallel glycation studies were performed using standard human IGFBP-3. Both species of IGFBP-3 became effectively glycated in a dose-dependent manner. Glycated IGFBP-3 bound larger amounts of 125I-labelled IGF-I than its non-glycated form. According to Scatchard analysis this effect might be due to an increase in the number of binding sites of the IGFBP-3 molecule rather than to changes in its affinity constants, which remain unchanged. Preincubation of fibroblasts with CM containing IGFBP-3 for 16 h before the addition of IGF-I enhanced the stimulatory effect of the hormone on thymidine incorporation into cell DNA. This potentiation was blunted when in vitro glycated instead of non-glycated IGFBP-3 was employed. These results provide further evidence of the in vitro glycation of IGFBP-3 and demonstrate that this process affects both its binding properties and its enhancing effect on IGF-I mitogenic activity. These changes may explain, at least partially, the development of many alterations observed in poorly controlled diabetic patients. Journal of Endocrinology (1995) 144, 119–126

Clenbuterol induces hypertrophy and a slow-to-fast phenotype change in skeletal muscle, but the signaling mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that clenbuterol could act via local expression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Administration of clenbuterol to 3-mo-old female Wistar rats resulted in a 10 and 13% increase of soleus muscle mass after 3 and 9 days, respectively, reaching 16% after 4 wk. When associated with triiodothyronine, clenbuterol induced a dramatic slow-to-fast phenotype change. In parallel, clenbuterol administration induced in soleus muscle a fivefold increase in IGF-I mRNA levels associated with an eightfold increase in IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-4 and a fivefold increase of IGFBP-5 mRNA levels on day 3. This increased IGF-I gene expression was associated with an increase in muscle IGF-I content, already detected on day 1 and persisting until day 5 without increase in serum IGF-I concentrations. These data show that muscle hypertrophy induced by clenbuterol is associated with a local increase in muscle IGF-I content. They suggest that clenbuterol-induced muscle hypertrophy could be mediated by local production of IGF-I.

Abstract Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a pivotal role in hepatic tissue repair and fibrogenesis. IGF-I has been considered a mitogenic signal for activation and proliferation of HSC in vitro. In the present study IGF-I and IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) gene expression was studied in a model of acute liver injury induced by a single intragastric dose of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in adult rats. Northern blot analysis revealed a marked increase in IGFBP-1 mRNA levels, with a maximum between 3 and 9 h after CCl4 application, whereas steady state mRNA levels of IGF-I were only moderately altered. In situ hybridization experiments demonstrated that this increase in IGFBP-1 mRNA was due to a strong expression of IGFBP-1 in the perivenous region 6–12 h after CCl4 application, extending to the midzonal region of the acinus within 24–48 h. Consequently, a prominent immunostaining for IGFBP-1 was observed in perivenous areas, with a maximum 24–48 h after intoxication. Preincubation of early cultured HSC with a nonphosphorylated IGFBP-1 from human amniotic fluid resulted in a 3.4-fold increase in IGF-I-induced DNA synthesis. The mitogenic effect of IGF-I was also potentiated when HSC were cocultivated with IGFBP-1-overexpressing BHK-21 cells compared with nontransfected cells. These data suggest that IGFBP-1 released during the early steps of liver tissue damage and repair may interact with HSC and potentiate the sensitivity of IGF-I to mitogenic signals.

Abstract It is well known that IGFs-I and -II stimulate both the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts, but the role of the IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) during these processes has not been established. In this study we show that IGF-I analogs with greatly reduced affinity for IGFBPs exhibited about a 10-fold increase in potency in stimulating proliferation (as in other cell types), but up to a 100-fold greater potency than native IGF-I in stimulating L6A1c differentiation. Analysis of conditioned media revealed that L6 cells secrete significant levels of IGFBPs that react with antisera to IGFBP-4, -5 and -6. Steady-state levels of IGFBP-4 mRNA were highest in proliferating myoblasts, while IGFBP-5 mRNA could not be detected in myoblasts although its levels were dramatically increased during IGF- or insulin-stimulated differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes. Elevated IGFBP-6 mRNA levels were found in quiescent cells in serum-free medium. IGF-I and IGF-II treatment elevated IGFBP-5 in conditioned media, but longR3IGF-I and insulin, which do not bind to IGFBPs, had smaller effects. This complex regulation of expression of different IGFBPs not only during different stages of muscle growth and differentiation, but also upon stimulation by IGFs or insulin, suggests that the IGFBPs play a specific and significant role in modulating the actions of the IGFs during myogenesis.

ABSTRACT Three groups of mature rams were maintained on diets of hay, hay+2% lupin or hay+2% cowpea for 11 weeks. Serial blood samples were taken at 15-min intervals for 12 h for the determination of GH and IGF-I content by radioimmunoassay and for IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels by Western blotting. The rams were killed after 77 days of supplementary feeding and their pituitary glands analysed for content of GH and GH mRNA. Mean plasma GH and baseline GH levels were significantly (P<0·01) decreased in the rams fed lupin and cowpea compared with controls fed hay and GH pulse amplitude was significantly (P<0·001) decreased in the group fed the cowpea diet. The frequency of GH pulses was not significantly altered by either treatment. Plasma concentrations of IGF-I were elevated in rams fed lupin (P<0·001) or cowpea (P<0·05). IGFBP-3 levels were not significantly (P>0·05) altered by either treatment. There were no significant differences in pituitary content of GH mRNA but pituitary content of GH was increased in rams fed lupin (P<0·05) and cowpea (P=0·07). In conclusion, a high-protein diet decreases plasma GH levels and increases IGF-I without changing plasma IGFBP-3 levels in rams. Thus ongoing synthesis of GH, as indicated by the mRNA levels, may cause a build up of GH stores in the pituitary gland. Journal of Endocrinology (1993) 138, 421–427
