The effects of circulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I on increasing insulin sensitivity are well recognized. IGF-I may have a further important role in maintaining beta-cell mass, and lower IGF-I activity could explain links between small size at birth and risk of type 2 diabetes in short, obese adults. In the representative Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood birth cohort, whereas insulin sensitivity is related to early postnatal weight gain, insulin secretion is related to IGF-I level and statural growth. Adult studies suggest that lower IGF-I levels at baseline predict increased risk for developing impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes. A common genetic polymorphism in the IGF1 gene could influence size at birth, postnatal growth and type 2 diabetes risk, but results of studies have been inconsistent. Extrapolation of these data to short children born small for gestational age is complex. Some have evidence of IGF-I and insulin resistance, suggesting inherent defects in IGF-I signalling. These children have poor growth responses to growth hormone (GH) therapy and perhaps the highest type 2 diabetes risk. Where these metabolic abnormalities are less severe, responses to GH therapy are good and diabetes risk may then depend on other genetic factors, indicated by a family history of diabetes or origin from ethnic groups with high diabetes prevalence. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) or somatomedins (SM) have been classically defined as promoting the actions of growth hormone in skeletal growth. IGF is divided into two groups, IGF-I and II, and are presumed to act via IGF type I (higher affinity for IGF-I and II and very low affinity for insulin) and II (higher affinity for IGF-II than I and no affinity for insulin) receptors, respectively. Recently, a switchover role of IGF-II to I during fetal to adult growth has been suggested. We have investigated the possible transitional role of IGF-II to I in a developing mouse embryonic limb bud organ culture model. In this in vitro system, limb bud develops from the blastoma stage to a well-differentiated cartilage tissue. Both IGF type I and II receptors were found to be present in limb buds at all stages of differentiation. Type I receptor decreased with differentiation while Type II receptor increased. The effect of IGF-I on [3H]thymidine and [35S]sulfate uptake by the tissue increased with differentiation while the effect of IGF-II on [3H]thymidine uptake of the undifferentiated tissue was abolished with differentiation of the tissue. The increase of the IGF-I response with decreased type I receptor may reflect an altered receptor sensitivity (occupancy) during differentiation. The decrease of the IGF-II response with increased type II receptor with differentiation may on the other hand suggest that IGF-II in differentiated tissue no longer acts as a classical growth factor. These results tend to support the hypothesis of the switchover role of IGF-I and II during fetal and adult growth, however, confirmation of the precise role of IGF-I and II in biological growth may have to wait until further studies clarifying the significance of the increased IGF type II receptor in differentiated tissue are made. 相似文献

Recombinant human (rh) insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is being developed as a therapy for short stature caused by IGF deficiency (IGFD) and also for diabetes mellitus. To complement the human efficacy and safety data, a large amount of information is available regarding the pharmacology and toxicology of rhIGF-I in animals. This review summarizes the risks and benefits of normalizing blood IGF-I concentrations in IGFD, especially with regard to carcinogenicity, and compares and contrasts safety data for rhIGF-I, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), and insulin. A major difference between rhIGF-I and rhGH is that rhIGF-I (like insulin) has hypoglycaemic activity, whereas rhGH opposes insulin action and is diabetogenic. In most of their actions, GH and IGF-I are similar. IGF-I mediates most of the actions of GH, so the safety of rhGH and that of rhIGF-I also share many common features. In animals, the transgenic expression of hGH has been shown to act directly, by activating the prolactin receptor, to increase the incidence of mammary and prostate tumours. In comparison, the over-expression of IGF-I in animals or the administration of rhIGF-I does not have a carcinogenic effect. In formal toxicology and carcinogenicity studies, rhIGF-I has similar effects to insulin in that it can increase food intake, body size, and the growth rate of existing tumours. In animals and humans, IGFD has many long-term detrimental effects besides short stature: it increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and low bone mineral density. Therefore, a case can be made for replacement therapy with rhIGF-I to normalize blood IGF-I levels and reverse the detrimental effects of IGFD. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIM: Since hyperandrogenism in simple obesity is assumed to arise from hyperinsulinism and/or increased insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) or leptin levels, we examined how in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), the most frequent form of syndromal obesity, the accelerated adrenarche can be explained despite hypothalamic-pituitary insufficiency with low levels of insulin and IGF-I. METHODS: In 23 children with PWS and a mean age of 5.6 years, height, weight, fat mass, fasting insulin concentration, insulin resistance (by HOMA-R; see text), and leptin and IGF-I levels were determined to test whether they explain the variance of the levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS), of androstenedione, and of cortisol before and during 42 months of therapy with growth hormone. RESULTS: The baseline DHEAS, DHEA, and androstenedione concentrations were increased as compared with age-related reference values, whereas the cortisol level was always normal. During growth hormone treatment, the DHEA concentration further rose, and the cortisol level decreased significantly. The insulin and IGF-I concentrations were low before therapy, while fat mass and leptin level were elevated. The hormonal covariates provided alone or together between 24 and 60% of the explanation for the variance of adrenal androgen levels, but the anthropometric variables did not correlate with them. CONCLUSIONS: In children with PWS, elevated androgen levels correlate with hormones that are usually associated with adiposity. However, the lack of direct correlations between disturbed body composition and androgen levels as well as the increased sensitivity to insulin and IGF-I are abnormalities specific to PWS, potentially caused by the underlying hypothalamic defect. 相似文献

The growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis and insulin are major anabolic effectors in promoting weight gain and linear growth. These two anabolic systems are interlinked at many levels, thus abnormalities in one of these systems effect the other causing disordered metabolic homeostasis. Insufficient portal insulinization in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) results in hepatic GH resistance and increased production of IGF-binding proteins-1 (IGFBP-1) and IGFBP-2. GH resistance is reflected by decreased hepatic IGF-I production. In addition, changes in other GH-dependent proteins are also observed in IDDM. Increased proteolysis of IGFBP-3 results in reduction of intact IGFBP-3. Serum ALS levels are also slightly diminished in untreated diabetic patients. Hepatic resistance to GH is, at least in part, caused by diminished GH receptors as reflected by diminished circulating GHBP levels. In addition, there is also evidence from experimental and human studies suggesting post-receptor defect(s) in GH action. As a result of these changes, circulating total and free IGF-I levels are decreased during insulinopenia. Lack of negative feed-back effect of IGF-I on GH secretion causes GH hypersecretion which increases hyperglycemia by decreasing sensitivity to insulin. GH hypersecretion in poorly controlled diabetic patients may play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications. Most of these abnormalities in the GH-IGF axis in diabetes are reversed by effective insulinization of the patient. Addition of IGF-I treatment to insulin in adolescents with IDDM allows correction of GH hypersecretion, improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control, and decreases insulin requirements. The effect of IGF-I treatment on diabetic complications has yet to be seen. 相似文献

Short-term incubation of adult rat hepatocytes with epidermal growth factor (EGF) caused tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-2 when the cells had been submitted to primary culture from 1-18 h. Tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS-1 and IRS-2 bound to the regulatory subunit (p85) of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase, thereby activating the enzymic activity. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the IRSs and activation of PtdIns 3-kinase in 3 h cultured hepatocytes both proceeded similarly to the same actions of insulin; the activation was rapid and transient, with peak values at 15-30 s and with similar EC(50)s in the nM range in both cases. A possible involvement of insulin receptors in these insulin-like actions of EGF was excluded by the following three lines of evidence. Insulin caused tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor beta-subunit but EGF did not. In contrast, the EGF receptor was phosphorylated by EGF, but the insulin receptor was not. The actions of EGF, but not those of insulin, were inhibited by AG1478, a selective inhibitor of EGF receptor tyrosine kinase. Cultured hepatocytes exposed to insulin or insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) for a short period responded to the subsequent addition of EGF, whereas EGF-treated cells responded to insulin. The cells, however, displayed receptor desensitization under the same conditions, that is, no response was observed upon repeated addition of the same agonist, EGF, insulin or IGF-I. Thus, the EGF receptor-initiated signalling was mediated by PtdIns 3-kinase associated with tyrosine-phosphorylated IRSs in short-term cultured rat hepatocytes. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) has significant structural homology with insulin. IGF-I has been shown to bind to insulin receptors to stimulate glucose transport in fat and muscle, to inhibit hepatic glucose output and to lower blood glucose while simultaneously suppressing insulin secretion. However, the precise role of IGF-I in maintaining normal glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity is not well defined. Studies in patients with diabetes have shown that in insulin-deficient states, serum IGF-I concentrations are low and increase with insulin therapy. Similarly, administration of insulin via the portal vein results in optimization of plasma IGF-I concentrations. A patient with an IGF1 gene deletion was shown to have severe insulin resistance that improved with IGF-I therapy. Studies conducted in experimental animals have shown that if IGF-I synthesis by the liver is deleted, the animals become insulin-resistant, and this is improved when IGF-I is administered. Likewise, deletion of the IGF-I receptor in muscle in mice induces severe insulin resistance. Administration of IGF-I to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus has been shown to result in an improvement in insulin sensitivity and a reduction in the requirement for exogenously administered insulin to maintain glucose homeostasis. A polymorphism in the IGF1 gene that has been shown to reduce serum IGF-I results in an increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Taken together, these findings support the conclusion that IGF-I is necessary for normal insulin sensitivity, and impairment of IGF-I synthesis results in a worsening state of insulin resistance. 相似文献

The effects of circulating insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on glucose metabolism are well recognized. IGF-I is also important in maintaining beta-cell mass and regulating endogenous growth hormone (GH) levels. Low IGF-I levels could explain links between small birth size and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in short, obese adults. In a recent prospective study, childhood insulin secretion was related to IGF-I levels and statural growth, whereas insulin sensitivity was related to early post-natal weight gain. Common genetic polymorphisms in the IGF1 gene have been linked to small birth size, post-natal growth and future diabetes risk, but these results have been inconsistent. Recent adult studies have demonstrated that lower baseline IGF-I levels predict the subsequent development of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Administration of low-dose GH therapy, at a dose that minimizes the lipolytic effects of GH and has the ability to increase IGF-I levels, enhances insulin sensitivity in young healthy adults and in GH-deficient adults and increases insulin secretion in individuals with IGT. Whether the administration of low-dose GH, recombinant IGF-I or combined IGF-I/IGF-binding protein 3 therapy prevents future development of IGT or type 2 diabetes in high-risk normoglycaemic and GH-deficient individuals merits further long-term studies. 相似文献

Our basic-somatomedin (SM) was further compared with insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II. Basic-SM and IGF revealed similar sulfation factor (SF) activity in cartilage, insulin-like activity(ILA) in adipocytes, and receptor binding activity to adipocytes and placental cell membranes.IGF-II revealed less SF activity but more ILA than basic-SM. Comparison of SM and insulin in terms of ILA and binding activity to adipocytes suggested that adipocytes have separate insulin and SM receptors and that the ILA of SM is mediated through the SM receptors. These studies also suggest that the receptors for acidic-neutral group of SM mediate the ILA of SM, whereas the growth promoting effects of SM are mediated via receptors for the basic group of SM. 相似文献

In a prior report we presented evidence that insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) can act in an autocrine fashion by demonstrating that FRTL-5 cells transfected with hIGF-IA fusion genes express and secrete biologically active IGF-I that renders the stimulation of DNA synthesis in FRTL-5 cells independent of their requirement for exogenous IGFs or insulin. To determine if IGF-I's autocrine actions require secretion or can be mediated by interactions with intracellular receptors, we have created a new line of FRTL-5 cells that express a mutant IGF-IA precursor containing the endoplasmic reticulum retention amino acid sequence, Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL), at its carboxyl terminus. The mutant IGF-IA/KDEL precursor expressed by stably transfected FRTL-5 cells was shown to be retained intracellularly and to have biological activity comparable with mature IGF-I, as judged by the activity of partially purified IGF-IA/KDEL in wild type FRTL-5 cells. Expression of IGF-IA/KDEL in FRTL-5 cells, however, neither augmented TSH-stimulated DNA synthesis nor stimulated IGF-binding protein-5 expression, as does IGF-IA expression in transfected FRTL-5 cells and the addition of exogenous IGF-I to wild type FRTL-5 cells. IGF-IA/KDEL expression, however, desensitized FRTL-5 cells to the actions of exogenous IGF-I despite having only minimal effects on cell surface type I receptor number, suggesting that intracellular IGF-I is capable of significant biological actions. The failure of IGF-IA/KDEL to replicate the actions of secreted IGF-I, taken together with the findings that a monoclonal antibody against IGF-I blocked IGF-I's actions in IGF-I-secreting transfected FRTL-5 cells, provides evidence that IGF-I secretion and interaction with cell surface type I IGF receptors is the dominant mechanism of IGF-I's autocrine actions. 相似文献

To determine whether heterologous receptor tyrosine kinases interact with each other we have investigated the ability of insulin receptors to transphosphorylate and transactivate IGF-I receptors. Using partially purified receptors we show that hormone-stimulated insulin receptors induced a 40% increase in IGF-I receptor phosphorylation. Remarkably, this transphosphorylation of IGF-I receptors by insulin receptors resulted in a 2.5-fold augmentation of the IGF-I receptor tyrosine kinase activity for substrates. Our findings demonstrate that transphosphorylation with transactivation can occur between insulin and IGF-I receptors. We would like to propose that such a phenomenon participates in the insulin-induced pleiotropic program by mediating the growth promoting effects of the hormone. 相似文献

There have been no studies in any vertebrate that have localized insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I receptors in prolactin (PRL) cells or that have correlated pituitary binding to the potency of IGF-I in regulating both PRL and growth hormone (GH) secretion. We show that IGF-I binds with high affinity and specificity to the pituitary gland of hybrid striped bass (Morone saxatilis x M. chrysops). IGF-I and IGF-II were equipotent in inhibiting saturable (125)I-IGF-I binding, whereas insulin was ineffective. IGF-I binds with similar affinity to the rostral pars distalis (>95% PRL cells) as the whole pituitary gland and immunohistochemistry colocalizes IGF-I receptors and PRL in this same region. Des(1-3)IGF-I, a truncated analog of IGF-I that binds with high affinity to IGF-I receptors but weakly to IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBPs), showed a similar inhibition of saturable (125)I-IGF-I binding, but it was more potent than IGF-I in stimulating PRL and inhibiting GH release. These results are the first to localize IGF-I receptors to PRL cells, correlate IGF-I binding to its efficacy in regulating GH and PRL secretion, as well as demonstrate that IGFBPs may play a significant role in modulating the disparate actions of IGF-I on PRL and GH secretion. 相似文献

Fetal murine neuronal cells bear somatomedin receptors which can be classified according to their affinities for IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin. Binding of 125I-IGF-I is half-maximally displaced by 7 ng/ml IGF-I while 15- and 700-fold higher concentrations are required for, respectively, IGF-II and insulin. Linear Scatchard plots of competitive-binding data with IGF-I suggest one single class of type I IGF receptors (Ka = 2.6 X 10(9) M-1; Ro = 4500 sites per cell). The occurrence of IGF-II receptors appears from the specific binding of 125I-IGF-II and competition by unlabeled IGF-II; the IGF-II binding sites display a low affinity for IGF-II and no affinity for insulin. IGF-II also interacts with insulin receptors although 50- to 100-fold less potent than insulin in competing for 125I-insulin binding. The presence of distinct receptors for IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin on fetal neuronal cells is consistent with a role of these peptides in neuronal development, although our data also indicate that IGF-I receptors could mediate the growth promoting effects of insulin. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and II) are important endocrine, paracrine and autocrine mediators of physiological growth. They promote cellular proliferation, survival and differentiation. Their effects are mediated mainly through the IGF-I receptor, but IGFs also bind to the IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate and insulin receptors. IGF activity is modulated by a family of six high-affinity IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs); in most situations, IGFBPs inhibit IGF actions but they may also enhance them. Assays are now available for IGF-I, IGF-II and individual IGFBPs. IGF-I and IGFBP-3 assays have some utility in the diagnosis and management of acromegaly and growth hormone deficiency. There is a large body of in vitro and in vivo evidence supporting a pathogenic role for alterations in the IGF system in many diseases, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and neuromuscular disease. More recently, epidemiological studies have linked high IGF-I levels with some cancers and low IGF-I levels with ischaemic heart disease. Preliminary studies of recombinant IGF-I as a treatment for diabetes, osteoporosis and neuromuscular disease have been performed in humans. In contrast, there is considerable interest in developing IGF inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. This apparent paradox highlights the need to develop therapeutics beyond the natural ligands and inhibitors, with characteristics such as ligand and tissue specificity. This will only become possible as we increase our understanding of this complex system. Additionally, as IGF and IGFBP assays are becoming more readily available, their role in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases should be more clearly defined in the near future. 相似文献

The receptors for insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I are structurally similar transmembrane proteins. Ligand binding to the extracellular domain of the receptor stimulates its cytoplasmic tyrosine protein kinase which phosphorylates its own beta subunit as well as exogenous substrates. It is believed, from several lines of evidence, that tyrosine-specific protein kinases are mediating some or all of the actions of insulin (or IGF-I). In order to gain insights into the substrate specificity of the structurally related insulin and IGF-I receptor kinases, we have studied the action of highly purified receptors isolated from human placental membranes. Present studies using selected tyrosine-containing polymers have revealed: (i) Polymers such as (Y,A,E)n and (Y-A-E)n inhibit beta subunit autophosphorylation and exogenous substrate phosphorylation by autophosphorylated receptors. (ii) Insulin receptor kinase is at least 10 times more sensitive to these inhibitors than IGF-I receptor kinase. (iii) (Y-A-E)n is approximately 8 times more potent an inhibitor than (Y,A,E)n toward both receptors. (iv) While (E4,Y1)n and (E6,A3,Y1)n are good substrates for both receptor kinases, the ratio of phosphate incorporation into the former to the latter is characteristically high (approximately 4) for the IGF-I receptor and low (approximately 1) for the insulin receptor. These results imply that the substrate specificity and enzymatic action of these two receptor kinases are distinct. 相似文献

We have reported previously that insulin causes a complete but reversible desensitization to insulin action in rat hepatoma HTC cells in tissue culture, and that this insulin resistance is mediated by postbinding mechanisms rather than receptor down-regulation (Heaton, J. H., and Gelehrter, T. D. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 12257-12262). We report here that insulin causes a similar desensitization to the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase by the insulin-like growth factors IGF-I and IGF-II isolated from human plasma, and by multiplication-stimulating activity, the rat homologue of IGF-II. The results of both competition-binding studies and affinity cross-linking experiments indicate that insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) bind primarily to IGF receptors rather than to insulin receptors. The low concentrations at which these factors induce transaminase is consistent with their acting primarily via IGF receptors. This is confirmed by experiments utilizing anti-insulin receptor antibody which both inhibits 125I-insulin binding and shifts the concentration dependence of insulin induction of tyrosine aminotransferase to the right. This same immunoglobulin does not inhibit 125I-multiplication-stimulating activity binding and only minimally inhibits 125I-IGF-I binding. Anti-insulin receptor antibody also does not significantly shift the concentration dependence for the IGFs, suggesting that IGFs induce transaminase by acting via IGF receptors. Although insulin down regulates insulin receptors, it does not decrease IGF-I or IGF-II binding. We conclude that insulin causes desensitization of HTC cells to IGFs by affecting a postbinding step in IGF action, which may be common to the actions of both insulin and insulin-like growth factors. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor-I is an essential regulator of the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

Murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes proliferate normally in medium containing fetal calf serum depleted of insulin, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). However, the cells do not differentiate into adipocytes in the presence of the hormone-depleted serum. Supplementation of the growth medium with 10-20 nM IGF-I or 2 microM insulin restores the ability of 3T3-L1 cells to develop into adipocytes. The cells acquire an adipocyte morphology, accumulate triglycerides, and express a 450-fold increase in the activity of the lipogenic enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The increase in glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is paralleled by the accumulation of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA and mRNA for the myelin P2-like protein aP2, another marker for fat cell development. IGF-I or insulin-stimulated adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells is not dependent on growth hormone. Occupancy of preadipocyte IGF-I receptors by IGF-I (or insulin) is implicated as a central step in the differentiation process. The IGF-I receptor binds insulin with a 70-fold lower affinity than IGF-I, and 30-70-fold higher levels of insulin are required to duplicate the effects of an optimal amount of IGF-I. The effects of 10-20 nM IGF-I are likely to be mediated by high affinity (KD = 5 nM) IGF-I receptors that are expressed at a density of 13,000 sites/preadipocyte. In undifferentiated cells the IGF-I receptor concentration is twice that of the insulin receptor. After adipocyte differentiation is triggered, the number and affinity of IGF-I receptors remain constant while insulin receptor number increases approximately 25-fold as developing adipocytes become responsive to insulin at the level of metabolic regulation. Thus, preadipocytes have the potential for a maximal response to IGF-I, whereas the accumulation of more than 95% of adipocyte insulin receptors and the appearance of responsiveness to insulin are consequences of differentiation. IGF-I or insulin is essential for the induction of a variety of abundant and nonabundant mRNAs characteristic of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 相似文献

Erythrocyte insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and insulin receptors were characterized in 10 normal prepubertal children (5 girls and 5 boys) aged 4-11 yrs and 10 normal adults (4 women and 6 men) aged 32-47 yrs. erythrocytes were purified from 5 ml of blood by Ficoll-Paque gradient centrifugation. Reticulocytes count in the erythrocyte suspensions were lower than 1%. Insulin and IGF-I binding assays were performed simultaneously. Maximal percent binding of [125I] labelled IGF-I was significantly higher in prepubertal children than in adults (8.7 +/- 0.7% versus 6.2 +/- 0.5% at a concentration of 5 x 10(9) erythrocytes/ml). Scatchard analysis revealed the high affinity constant was better in prepubertal children (Ka = 4.6 +/- 1.3 nM-1 versus 1.8 +/- 0.2 nM-1), whereas the binding capacity was similar (5.8 +/- 1.1 versus 7.7 +/- 0.8 high affinity binding sites/cell). In both groups, unlabelled IGF-I inhibited tracer-binding half maximally at about 1 nM. Insulin was 100-fold less potent. In adults, specific binding of [125I] labelled IGF-I was higher in women (7.6 +/- 0.7%) than in men (5.3 +/- 0.4%). No significant difference was observed in maximal specific binding of [125I] labelled insulin between prepubertal children (8.2 +/- 0.5%) and adults (7.2 +/- 0.7%). In both groups, competition by unlabelled insulin for [125I] labelled insulin binding gave 50% displacement for approximately 0.25 nM and IGF-I was about 80-fold less potent. Both IGF-I and insulin binding parameters were not significantly correlated with plasma hormone levels. In prepubertal children, the high-affinity IGF-I receptors number decreased with increasing high-affinity insulin receptors number.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Mitogen-potentiating action and binding characteristics of insulin and insulin-like growth factors in Chinese hamster fibroblasts 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
alpha-Thrombin alone is able to stimulate DNA synthesis reinitiation of G0-arrested Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (CC139) as well as continued growth of these cells in serum-free medium. Although insulin at high concentrations (1-10 micrograms/ml) is not intrinsically mitogenic for these cells, it potently enhances the growth-promoting action of thrombin. The generation time of CC139 cells in the defined medium, transferrin, alpha-thrombin, insulin, is around 15 h. To determine whether this effect of insulin is mediated via putative receptors for the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) on these cells, we examined the abilities of two IGFs, Multiplication-Stimulating Activity (MSA) and IGF-I, to potentiate the thrombin-induced reinitiation of DNA synthesis. Both IGFs were found to be as effective as insulin for this biological effect; however, much lower concentrations were required to elicit half-maximal response, 100 ng/ml of MSA and 30 ng/ml of IGF-I. Detailed binding studies using 125I-labelled insulin, MSA, and IGF-I revealed that CC139 cells specifically bind all three polypeptides with IC50 values for the corresponding ligands of 1-2 ng/ml, 80-100 ng/ml, and 30-40 ng/ml, respectively. 125I-MSA binding was insulin-insensitive, whereas insulin did compete with 125I-IGF-I for binding to CC139 cells. These results indicate that CC139 cells possess at least two types of IGF receptors, an insulin-insensitive IGF receptor with high affinity for MSA which apparently mediates its biological effect, and an insulin-sensitive IGF-I receptor. Insulin appears to exert its mitogen-potentiating activity in CC139 fibroblasts by interacting with the IGF-I receptor. 相似文献
