A new skeletal muscle cell line, rat myoblast omega or RMo, has been characterized with regard to the effects of three growth factors: basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). Results indicate a differential response of these factors on both cell proliferation and differentiation. Exposure to bFGF and IGF-I stimulate proliferation, while TGF-beta has no effect on cell number. RMo cell differentiation, as indicated by skeletal myosin synthesis, is enhanced by IGF-I, whereas both bFGF and TGF-beta suppress differentiation. These responses are in agreement with the effects of bFGF, IGF-I, and TGF-beta on myogenic cells cultured from fetal and postnatal muscle, thereby suggesting that RMo cells can serve as a model system for the study of growth factor effects on skeletal muscle cells.  相似文献

In relation with the digestive cycle, the digestive gland cells of bivalve molluscs undergo a sequence of cytological changes which is controlled by external and internal effectors such as putative gastrointestinal hormones and growth differentiation factors. A tissue dissociation method was developed to investigate the in vitro effect of the vertebrate growth and differentiation factors: insulin, insulin growth factor I (IGF-I), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the digestive gland cells of the scallop Pecten maximus. All these vertebrate peptides induced a dose-dependent increased incorporation of 3H-leucine and 14C-uridine in whole digestive gland cell suspensions. However, after Percoll density gradient purification of the digestive cells, only stem and undifferentiated enriched cell fractions were responsive to the different peptides. In addition, insulin and IGF-I, but not EGF and bFGF, stimulated 3H-leucine incorporation in control dispersed mantle edge cells. These results suggest that insulin-related peptides could work as general growth promoting factors in molluscs. On the other hand, EGF and bFGF, or at least their molluscan counterparts, may be efficient growth differentiation factors in the regenerative processes occurring in the digestive gland of molluscs.

Endothelial cells in culture synthesize the growth factors transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and, perhaps, insulin like growth factor I (IGF-I). We have previously demonstrated that IGF-I and PDGF have both high affinity receptors and stimulate glucose and AIB uptake in the microvessel cells under study and that IGF-I, but not PDGF, has similar high affinity receptors in cultured large vessel endothelial cells. In the present study, cultured bovine endothelial cells were exposed to these four growth factors to determine a) their effects on the acute metabolic processes of neutral amino acid (AIB) and glucose uptake and b) their interactions at the endothelial cell surface. In microvessel endothelial cells, each growth factor stimulated AIB and glucose uptake 2-4 fold whereas in large vessel endothelial cells only bFGF stimulated glucose uptake. Each growth factor had specific high affinity binding to the microvessel cells that was not influenced by the presence of the other growth factors. In large vessel endothelial cells, similar high affinity binding was present only for IGF-I and to a lesser degree TGF-beta. When cells were exposed to a given growth factor for 18 hours, homologous receptor downregulation was observed, with a maximal 60-95% decrease in surface binding. These findings suggest several potential levels of interaction of the growth factors TGF-beta, bFGF, PDGF and IGF-I in cultured vascular endothelial cells.  相似文献

Inhibition of growth factor signaling pathways by lovastatin   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Human fibroblasts treated with the antihypercholesterolaemic drug, lovastatin, displayed a diminished signaling response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Supplementing the culture medium with mevalonic acid restored the signaling response. Not all growth factor signaling pathways were impaired, however, as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) responses were refractory to lovastatin treatment. These results suggest the involvement of product(s) of mevalonate metabolism (e.g., prenylated proteins such as p21ras or G proteins) in the signal transduction of EGF, insulin and IGF-I. The inhibition of cell growth by lovastatin may be caused by the inability of the cell to enter the S phase of the cell cycle due to obstruction of the signaling of progression factors.  相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), but not acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), was found to be mitogenic for cultured mouse keratinocytes. A six-to-nine fold increase in 3H-thymidine (3H-dT) incorporation into the acid insoluble pool and a similar increase of the labeling index can be measured when bFGF, at a concentration between 1 and 10 ng/ml, is added to keratinocytes arrested in serum-free and growth factor-free medium with a Ca++-concentration below 0.1 mM. The half-maximal response is observed between 0.2 and 0.7 ng/ml. In the same culture system, insulin-like growth factor I/somatomedin C (IGF-I) and insulin act as mitogens. IGF-I shows half-maximal stimulation with 2-3 ng/ml, insulin with 100-500 ng/ml. Basic FGF, IGF-I and insulin can be classified as strong stimulators of DNA synthesis in mouse keratinocytes. In this regard they are comparable to epidermal growth factor, which shows a half-maximal stimulation at a concentration between 1.5-2 ng/ml. These results show that in addition to mesenchymal cells, FGF is a growth factor not only for neuroectodermal cells, but ectodermal cells in general. They further support the idea that the growth promoting effect of insulin on keratinocytes may be mediated by the IGF-I receptor.  相似文献

Summary A serum-free clonal density growth assay was developed for the quantification of the biological activity of human recombinant insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). The assay measures IGF-I stimulated growth of Balb/c 3T3 cells cultured over 4 d on poly-d-lysine-coated plastic surfaces in a serum-free medium formulation composed of a 1∶1 (vol/vol) mixture of Ham's F12 and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's media, supplemented with 3.0 ng/ml bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), 10 μg/ml human transferrin, 100 μg/ml ovalbumin, and 1.0 μM dexamethanose. Low-temperature trypsinization of serum-supplemented stock cultures combined with the use of poly-d-lysine-coated plates made it unnecessary to use serum or fibronectin to promote cell attachment and survival. Serum-free growth conditions were optimized with respect to the concentrations of the supplements. Addition of IGF-I resulted in 3.5-fold more cells than control cultures without IGF-I after 4 d. Deletion of bFGF resulted in no IGF-I stimulation of growth. The concentrations of various preparations of IGF-I required to achieve one-half maximal stimulation of cell number (ED50), ranged between 1.25 and 4.7 ng/ml. In parallel assays, IGF-I was 6.6 times more potent than human recombinant insulin-like growth factor II and 32 times more potent than insulin. When cells were seeded into medium containing IGF-I, transferrin, ovalbumin, and dexamethasone but no bFGF, growth was minimal. Dose-response addition of bFGF showed an ED50, of 0.9 ng/ml. The methods reported are useful to monitor the biological potency of recombinant and natural-source growth factors as well as providing a new means of studying the multiple growth factor requirements of Balb/c 3T3 cells in cultures.

We have utilized a model system to investigate myotrophic factors released by normal adult mouse muscles following a crush injury. We found that saline extracts from gently crushed mouse muscles (CME) contain potent mitogenic activities which act on primary newborn mouse myoblast cultures, as well as on mouse C2 cells, a mouse myoblast cell line. We compared the activity of CME on mouse myoblasts with that of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), two growth factors known to be mitogenic for primary myoblasts (Allen, Dodson, and Lutein: Exp. Cell. Res., 152:154-160, 1984; DiMario and Strohman: Differentiation, 39:42-49, 1988; Allen and Boxhorn: J. Cell. Physiol., 138:311-315, 1989; Dodson, Allen, and Hossner: Endocrinology, 117:2357-2363, 1985; Florini and Magri: Am. J. Physiol., 256:C701-C711, 1989). We found that CME could act in an additive fashion to saturating doses of bFGF to increase proliferation in myoblast cultures. Additionally, CME acted additively to the combination of saturating amounts of bFGF and IGF-I on both C2 and primary myoblast cultures. We also examined additivity of CME with the combination of saturating doses of bFGF, IGF-I, transferrin (Tf), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH), and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Our data indicate that CME contains Tf, as well as one or more uncharacterized mitogens for myoblasts which are distinct from Tf, the IGFs, bFGF, EGF, PDGF, M-CSF, and ACTH. These uncharacterized mitogens may act independently of known growth factors to stimulate myoblast proliferation, or may act through modulation of known growth factor activities.  相似文献

We have investigated synthesis of 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids in growth factor-stimulated Swiss 3T3 cells. Those growth factors tested which act via tyrosine kinase-containing receptors (platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin growth factor I (IGF-I), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)) caused the rapid synthesis of [32P]PtdIns(3,4)P2 and [32P]PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 (PtdIns is phosphatidylinositol) in [32P]P(i)-prelabeled cells and the appearance of an inositol lipid 3-OH kinase in antiphosphotyrosine immunoprecipates. In contrast, those growth factors tested which act via G-protein-coupled receptors (bombesin, vasopressin, prostaglandin E1) were unable to stimulate either of the above responses. Furthermore, while PDGF was able to increase the formation of PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in streptolysin-permeabilized cells, guanosine 5'-3-(thio)triphosphate and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate were not. These results suggest that Swiss 3T3 cells possess the machinery for tyrosine kinase but not G-protein-mediated activation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 3-OH kinase; a situation which is the inverse to that recently described for human neutrophils. The tyrosine kinase-containing receptors differed markedly in their relative abilities to elevate the levels of [32P] PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 (ranked in the order PDGF greater than or equal to IGF-I greater than EGF greater than bFGF), [32P]Ptd-OH (PDGF greater than EGF greater than bFGF; undetectable for IGF-I), and [32P]PtdIns4P (EGF greater than bFGF greater than PDGF; undetectable for IGF-I) in [32P]P(i)-prelabeled cells. These differences are epitomized by IGF-I, which was the joint most powerful stimulus for [32P] PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 formation, but was unable to stimulate a measurable accumulation of [32P]Ptd-OH (and hence, by deduction, was unable to stimulate phospholipase C). These results indicate that there is a differential ability among the tyrosine kinase-containing receptors present in a single cell to recruit phospholipase C and PtdIns(4,5)P2 3-OH kinase into their signalling complexes and further emphasizes the notion that the rapid synthesis of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 may be a signalling event.  相似文献

Insulin and insulinlike growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II) influence mesodermal cell proliferation and differentiation. As multiple growth factors are involved in hemopoietic cell proliferation and differentiation, we assessed the receptor binding and mitogenic effects of these peptides on a panel of mesodermally derived human myeloid leukemic cell lines. The promyelocytic cell line HL60 had the highest level of specific binding for these 125I-labeled ligands, with lower binding to the less differentiated myeloblast cell line KG1 and undifferentiated blast variants of these cell lines (HL60blast, KG1a). Insulin binding affinity and receptor numbers were reduced significantly by chemically induced granulocytic differentiation of HL60 cells and was unchanged following induced monocytic differentiation. No substantial alteration in IGF-I or -II binding occurred with induced HL60 cell differentiation. Insulin and IGF-I demonstrated cross competition for receptor binding and down-regulated their homologous receptors without detectable cross modulation of the heterologous receptors on HL60 cells. IGF-I and insulin increased HL60 cell proliferation, as assessed by 3H-thymidine uptake, IGF-I greater than insulin. IGF-I binding and mitogenic effects were blocked by the monoclonal anti-IGF-I receptor antibody IR3, indicating that IGF-I-induced proliferative effects were mediated via its homologous receptor. In contrast, insulin binding and mitogenesis displayed blocking by both anti-IGI-I and anti-insulin receptor antibodies, indicating mediation of its activity through both receptors. These data demonstrate specific binding and mitogenic interactions between insulin, IGFs, and hemopoietic cells which are associated with their state of differentiation.  相似文献

We present evidence that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-producing cells stimulate primary differentiation of neurons from neural crest progenitors. Baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells were stably cotransfected with plasmid pSV2/neo, which contains the gene conferring resistance to the neomycin analog G418 and expression vectors containing the human bFGF cDNA. Various clones, which differed in their bFGF production levels, were isolated. Homogeneous neural crest cells were cultured on monolayers of bFGF-producing, BHK-21-derived cell lines. While the parental BHK-21 cells, which do not produce detectable bFGF, had poor neurogenic ability, the various bFGF-producing clones promoted a 1.5- to 4-fold increase in neuronal cell number compared to the parental cells. This increase was correlated with the levels of bFGF produced by the different transfected clones, which ranged between 2.3 and 140 ng/mg protein. In contrast, no stimulation of neuronal differentiation was observed when neural crest cells were grown on monolayers of parental BHK cells transfected with plasmid pSV2/neo alone, or on a parental BHK-derived clone, which secretes high amounts of recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Furthermore, the neuron-promoting ability of bFGF-producing cells could be mimicked by addition of exogenous bFGF to neural crest cells grown on the parental BHK line. A similar treatment of neural crest cells grown on laminin substrata, instead of BHK cells, resulted in increased survival of non-neuronal cells, but not of neurons (see also Kalcheim, C. 1989, Dev. Biol. 134, 1-10). Taken together, these results suggest that bFGF stimulates neuronal differentiation of neural crest cells by a cell-mediated signalling mechanism.  相似文献

Several peptide growth factors influence the growth and differentiation of neural cells. To investigate further the growth-promoting effects of the somatomedins on cells of neural origin, the authors characterized the binding and mitogenic effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on a functionally differentiated rat neuronal cell line (B104). Specific, high-affinity (Kd approximately equal to 10(-9) M) receptors for IGF-I were abundant (approximately 124,000 binding sites/B104 cell). These IGF-I receptors were similar to those of non-neural tissue in that they contained 135,000 dalton binding subunits (demonstrated by affinity labeling and autoradiography) and recognized insulin at high concentrations. IGF-I was more potent than insulin at stimulating B104 cell replication in serum-free medium and, at an initial concentration of 100 ng/ml, was the only exogenous growth factor needed to maintain growth through several cell divisions. Furthermore, cells of later passage were found to secrete specific IGF binding proteins that produced an unusual, biphasic binding curve in radioligand displacement studies. These binding proteins apparently sequester IGF-I, limiting its access to the cell. Experiments with B104 cells may provide useful information about the role of IGFs and their binding proteins as potential regulators of growth and differentiation of the primitive neuroblast.  相似文献

In insulin containing defined medium TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 2, and bFGF all stimulate chondrogenic differentiation in high-density micromass cultures of distal limb bud mesenchyme cells of chick embryos. In addition bFGF inhibits myogenic differentiation, while TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 appear to have no effect. TGF-beta 1 and bFGF together act additively to enhance chondrogenesis, while TGF-beta blocks the bFGF inhibitory action on myoblasts, thus allowing them to differentiate. In the absence of insulin, the inhibitory effect of bFGF on muscle cell differentiation is reduced; cartilage differentiation in the presence of the above growth factors is also slightly reduced.  相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) can associate with the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin (VN) via select IGF-binding proteins, and the resulting complex stimulates responses in a variety of cell types. As VN can also associate with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), we hypothesized that the multimeric nature of VN could be exploited to deliver multiple growth factors to the cell surface. We report here that VN enhances bFGF but not EGF stimulated [(3)H]-leucine incorporation in the HaCAT keratinocyte cell line, with VN synergistically enhancing cell migration in response to both EGF and bFGF when presented as a VN-bound complex. Furthermore, the addition of EGF and/or bFGF to IGF-I:IGFBP-5:VN complexes significantly enhances both [(3)H]-leucine incorporation and migration of HaCAT cells above that induced by IGF:IGFBP-5:VN complexes alone. Indeed, similar responses are observed in primary cultures of human skin keratinocytes, highlighting the potential use of these novel complexes for a wide range of tissue repair applications.  相似文献

Serum-free culture of epidermal cell suspensions from neonatal skin of mice of strain C57BL/10JHir (B10) showed that α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) was involved in regulating the differentiation of melanocytes by inducing tyrosinase activity, melanosome formation, and dendritogenesis. Dibutyryl adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (DB-cAMP) similarly induced the differentiation of melanocytes. On the other hand, DBcAMP induced the proliferation of epidermal melanocytes in culture in the presence of keratinocytes. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was also shown to stimulate the sustained proliferation of undifferentiated melanoblasts in the presence of DBcAMP and keratinocytes. These results suggest that the proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal melanoblasts and melanocytes in culture are regulated by the three factors; namely, cAMP, bFGF, and keratinocyte-derived factors. Moreover, serum-free primary culture of mouse epidermal melanocytes derived from B10 congenic mice, which carry various coat color genes, showed that the coat color genes were involved in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal melanocytes by controlling the proliferative rate, melanosome formation and maturation, and melanosome distribution.  相似文献

Summary The mouse adipogenic cell line 1246 which possesses both insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) receptors was used to investigate the role of IGF-I and insulin on the proliferation of adipocyte precursors and their differentiation into mature adipocytes. Results indicate that both insulin and IGF-I stimulate the proliferation of the 1246 adipocyte precursors with IGF-I being slightly more potent than insulin. Dose-response studies indicated that both polypeptides acted at physiological concentrations corresponding to binding to their own receptors. In contrast, comparison of insulin and IGF-I capacity to stimulate terminal adipose differentiation indicated that only insulin was active when added at physiological concentrations. IGF-I could not stimulate adipocyte differentiation except at supraphysiological concentrations (100 ng/ml and above) permitting its binding to the insulin receptors on 1246 cells. Time course study of expression of early and late markers of adipose differentiation indicated that the induction of markers such as adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and fatty acid binding protein (FAB) took place even in the absence of insulin. However, the level of early and late differentiation markers decreased to a level below the one found in undifferentiated cells when cells had been maintained in the absence of insulin after differentiation had been initiated. These data indicate that although insulin is not necessary for the early onset of the adipose differentiation program, it is stringently required for the maintenance of the adipocyte phenotype and cannot be substituted by IGF-I.  相似文献

Insulin is a peptide hormone with a high degree of homology with the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Its biological actions are interlaced with those of GH and IGF-I. The objective of this study is to review the growth promoting actions of insulin. The experimental evidence consists of the use of organ cultures of neonatal mice condilar cartilage insulin which stimulates the cartilage cell differentiation and maturation. Injection of insulin to hypohysectomized rats stimulated tibial growth. Clinical evidence is manifold. Babies with diabetes and hypoinsulinemia are short, whereas babies with hyperinsulinism are big. Children with idiopathic short stature have low insulin whereas obese children with hyperinsulinism are tall. Hypo-insulinized children with diabetes slow their growth until the insulin dose is optimized. It remains to be clarified whether insulin exerts its growth promoting actions via its own receptors, via the IGF-I receptors, or via a hybrid (insulin--IGF-I) receptor.  相似文献
