Differential expression of insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 in the diabetic rat

Summary Multiple factors contribute to the growth retardation which is a characteristic feature of uncontrolled diabetes. In this report we have examined the effects of streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetes on expression of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in various tissues. As early as 7 days after STZ administration there was a modest reduction in IGF-I mRNA abundance. The reduction (10–30%) was of similar magnitude in each of the 7 tissues examined; liver, kidney, lung, diaphragm, quadraceps, heart and adipose tissue. However, the reduction achieved statistical significance only in the lung (p < 0.05) and diaphragm (p < 0.01). A further reduction in IGF-I mRNA abundance was seen in many tissues, 32 and 91 days after STZ administration. In contrast to the decrease in IGF-I mRNA, IGFBP-1 mRNA was significantly increased in the liver and kidney of diabetic rats. IGFBP-1 mRNA was detectable at only very low levels in other tissues but was increased in diabetic rats compared non-diabetic rats. In diabetic rats, a highly significant correlation (R = 0.75, p < 0.001) between hepatic IGFBP-1 mRNA and glucose was observed whereas there was no significant correlation between serum glucose and hepatic IGF-I mRNA abundance (R = 0.24, p = NS). Treatment of diabetic rats with insulin resulted in a small, non significant increase in hepatic and renal IGF-I mRNA and a significant decrease in renal IGFBP-1 mRNA abundance. The observations reported here are consistent with the hypothesis that diminished IGF-I expression and inhibition of available IGF-1 by increased levels of IGFBP-1 may explain the impaired growth seen in diabetic animals.     

c-myb stimulates cell growth by regulation of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and IGF-binding protein-3 in K562 leukemia cells

c-myb plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation, and is highly expressed in immature hematopoietic cells. The human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell K562, highly expresses IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-IR, and IGF-induced cellular proliferation is mediated by IGF-IR. To characterize the impact of c-myb on the IGF-IGFBP-3 axis in leukemia cells, we overexpressed c-myb using an adenovirus gene transfer system in K562 cells. The overexpression of c-myb induced cell proliferation, compared to control, and c-myb induced cell growth was inhibited by anti-IGF-IR antibodies. c-myb overexpression resulted in a significant increase in the expression of IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGF-IR, and a decrease in IGFBP-3 expression. By contrast, disruption of c-myb function by DN-myb overexpression resulted in significant reduction of IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-IR, and elevation of IGFBP-3 expression. In addition, exogenous IGFBP-3 inhibited the proliferation of K562 cells, and c-myb induced cell growth was blocked by IGFBP-3 overexpression in a dose-dependent manner. The growth-promoting effects of c-myb were mediated through two major intracellular signaling pathways, Akt and Erk. Activation of Akt and Erk by c-myb was completely blocked by IGF-IR and IGFBP-3 antibodies. These findings suggest that c-myb stimulates cell growth, in part, by regulating expression of the components of IGF-IGFBP axis in K562 cells. In addition, disruption of c-myb function by DN-myb may provide a useful strategy for treatment of leukemia.     

Analysis of polymorphisms in the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) gene from Japanese quail selected for body weight

Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor ( IGF1R ) is essential for the signalling of growth. In this study, we performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection in the Japanese quail IGF1R coding region and an association study between SNPs and body weight in two lines (SS and LL) selected for large and small body weight. Of 21 SNPs obtained, a SNP at position AB292766:c.2293G>A led to the replacement of a valine with an isoleucine (V765I). The two lines were fixed for alternate alleles, with allele encoding valine fixed in the LL line. A significant effect of the SNP genotype was found on 10-week body weight ( P  < 0.01) and on 4- to 10-week and 6- to 10-week average daily gain ( P  < 0.05) in the F₂ family obtained from lines LL and SS. In six populations maintained in Japan or France, the frequency of allele encoding valine was higher than the allele encoding isoleucine.     

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 and type-1 insulin-like growth factor receptor are differentially regulated during apoptosis in cerebellar granule cells

Neuronal apoptosis is considered to play a significant role in several neuropathological conditions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal apoptosis are poorly understood. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signalling is considered to be an important regulator of neuronal differentiation, survival and apoptosis. We have examined the expression of two members of the IGF system, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5) and the type-1 IGF receptor (IGF1R), during apoptosis of rat cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) in vitro. We describe a prominent downregulation of IGFBP-5 mRNA and protein expression. We also show that IGF-I increases IGFBP-5 expression in CGCs and that the downregulation of IGFBP-5 mRNA can be suppressed by inhibiting mRNA synthesis with actinomycin D. The expression of IGF1R mRNA showed a transient upregulation during potassium chloride (KCl) deprivation induced apoptosis, in contrast to the IGF1R protein level, which was downregulated during KCl deprivation. Our results provide insight into the expression of IGF-related genes during neuronal apoptosis, and indicate that they mediate a protective response to the withdrawal of trophic stimulation. It seems that the expression of IGFBP-5 and IGF1R is regulated to maximize the availability of IGF and the activity of IGF-triggered survival signalling.

Expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptors in EL4 lymphoma cells overexpressing growth hormone

Almost all of the previous studies with growth hormone (GH) have been done with exogenously supplied GH and, therefore, involve actions of the hormone through its receptor. However, the actions of endogenous or lymphocyte GH are still unclear. In a previous study, we showed that overexpression of GH (GHo) in a lymphoid cell line resulted in protection of the cells to apoptosis mediated by nitric oxide (NO). In the present study, we show that the protection from apoptosis could be transferred to control cells with culture fluids obtained from GHo cells and blocked by antibodies to the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) or antibodies to the IGF-1-receptor (IGF-1R). Northern and Western blot analysis detected significantly higher levels of IGF-1 in cells overexpressing GH. An increase in the expression of the IGF-1R in GHo cells was also detected by Western blot analysis, (125)I-IGF-1 binding and analysis of IGF-1R promoter luciferase constructs. Transfection of GHo cells with a dominant negative IGF-1R mutant construct blocked the generation of NO and activation of Akt seen in GHo cells compared to vector alone control EL4 cells. The results suggest that one of the consequences of the overexpression of GH, in cells lacking the GH receptor, is an increase in the expression of IGF-1 and the IGF-1R which mediate the protection of EL4 lymphoma cells from apoptosis.     

miR-223 contributes to the AGE-promoted apoptosis via down-regulating insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor in osteoblasts

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been confirmed to induce bone quality deterioration in diabetes mellitus (DM), and to associate with abnormal expression of miRNAs in DM patients or in vitro. Recently, miRNAs have been recognized to mediate the onset or progression of DM. In the present study, we investigated the regulation on miR-223 level by AGE-BSA treatment in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, with real-time quantitative PCR assay. And then we examined the inhibition of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression by miR-223, via targeting of the 3′ UTR of IGF-1R with real-time quantitative PCR, western blotting and luciferase reporter assay. Then we explored the regulation of miR-223 and IGF-1R levels, via the lentivirus-mediated miR-223 inhibition and IGF-1R overexpression in the AGE-BSA-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells. It was demonstrated that AGE-BSA treatment with more than 100 μg/ml significantly up-regulated miR-223 level, whereas down-regulated IGF-1R level in MC3T3-E1 cells. And the up-regulated miR-223 down-regulated IGF-1R expression in both mRNA and protein levels, via targeting the 3′ UTR of IGF-1R. Moreover, though the AGE-BSA treatment promoted apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells, the IGF-1R overexpression or the miR-223 inhibition significantly attenuated the AGE-BSA-promoted apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells. In summary, our study recognized the promotion of miR-223 level by AGE-BSA treatment in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. The promoted miR-223 targeted IGF-1R and mediated the AGE-BSA-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells. It implies that miR-223 might be an effective therapeutic target to antagonize the AGE-induced damage to osteoblasts in DM.     

The impact of insulin-like growth factor-1 on the pattern of cardiac elongation factor-2 variants in a model of overload

Because of its key role in proteosynthesis, the total content of elongation factor-2 (EF-2) and the distribution of six main EF-2 variants were investigated after Pseudomonas Exotoxin A catalyzed [³²P]ADP-ribosylation using 1D-PAGE and isoelectric focusing (IEF) in a rat model of hemodynamic overload with variable degrees of cardiac hypertrophy: Chronic NO-synthase inhibition by L-NAME (N-omega-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-esther; 0.75 mg/ml drinking water) induced arterial hypertension without hypertrophy but myocardial apoptosis; additional treatment with IGF-1 (osmotic micropumps) did not modify hypertension but reduced apoptosis allowing moderate hypertrophy of the left ventricles. Total EF-2 did not significantly increase in rats with hemodynamic overload with or without IGF-1 supplementation. A positive correlation was found between an acidic EF-2 variant and apoptosis (p = 0.01). Hypertrophy under additional IGF-1 was combined with a shift of the EF-2 variants to basic subtypes (p < 0.01). This finding may be indicative of the trophic potency of IGF-1.
