Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) can stimulate apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation directly and independently of binding IGFs or indirectly by forming complexes with IGF-I and IGF-II that prevent them from activating the IGF-I receptor to stimulate cell survival and proliferation. To date, IGF-independent actions only have been demonstrated in a limited number of cells that do not synthesize or respond to IGFs. To assess the general importance of IGF-independent mechanisms, we have generated human IGFBP-3 mutants that cannot bind IGF-I or IGF-II by substituting alanine for six residues in the proposed IGF binding site, Ile(56)/Tyr(57)/Arg(75)/Leu(77)/Leu(80)/Leu(81), and expressing the 6m-hIGFBP-3 mutant construct in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Binding of both IGF-I and IGF-II to 6m-hIGFBP-3 was reduced >80-fold. The nonbinding 6m-hIGFBP-3 mutant still was able to inhibit DNA synthesis in a mink lung epithelial cell line in which inhibition by wild-type hIGFBP-3 previously had been shown to be exclusively IGF-independent. 6m-hIGFBP-3 only can act by IGF-independent mechanisms since it is unable to form complexes with the IGFs that inhibit their action. We next compared the ability of wild-type and 6m-hIGFBP-3 to stimulate apoptosis in serum-deprived PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. PC-3 cells are known to synthesize and respond to IGF-II, so that IGFBP-3 could potentially act by either IGF-dependent or IGF-independent mechanisms. In fact, 6m-hIGFBP-3 stimulated PC-3 cell death and stimulated apoptosis-induced DNA fragmentation to the same extent and with the same concentration dependence as wild-type hIGFBP-3. These results indicate that IGF-independent mechanisms are major contributors to IGFBP-3-induced apoptosis in PC-3 cells and may play a wider role in the antiproliferative and antitumorigenic actions of IGFBP-3.  相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I is a potent mitogen for human osteosarcoma cells such as the Saos-2/B-10 cell line. IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) prevent stimulation of DNA synthesis by IGFs. In contrast to recombinant human (rh) IGFBP-2, -3, -4, and -5, 10-100 nM rhIGFBP-6 stimulated [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into DNA and multiplication of Saos-2/B-10 cells. Upon withdrawal of serum, 30 nM IGFBP-6 also decreased apoptosis (within 4 h) and increased protein content and sodium-dependent phosphate uptake (within 24 h), but less potently than IGF I. (125)I-labeled rhIGFBP-6 did not bind to the cells, and cold IGFBP-6 did not affect (125)I-labeled IGF I binding. Production of IGF I, IGF II, and IGFBP-6 by the cells or significant degradation of rhIGFBP-6 could not be detected within 24 h of incubation. Thus, among the rhIGFBPs tested, rhIGFBP-6 is unique in stimulating osteosarcoma cell growth. Furthermore, it has an antiapoptotic effect.  相似文献

The bioavailability and action of the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are determined by specific IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) to which they are complexed. Complementary DNA clones have been isolated that encode three related IGFBPs: human IGFBP-1 (hIGFBP-1), human IGFBP-3 (hIGFBP-3), and rat IGFBP-2 (rIGFBP-2). IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 are regulated differently in human plasma, suggesting that they have different functions. In order to study the molecular basis of the regulation of the different IGFBPs, we have identified a panel of rat cell lines that express a single predominant binding protein and developed an assay strategy to distinguish the different binding proteins. Proteins in conditioned medium were examined by ligand blotting, and by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting using antibodies to rIGFBP-2 and hIGFBP-1; RNAs were hybridized to cDNA probes for rIGFBP-2 and hIGFBP-1. 1) C6 glial cells and B104 neuroblastoma cells express an approximately 40 kilodalton (kDa) glycosylated binding protein that most likely represents rIGFBP-3, the binding subunit of the 150 kDa IGF: binding protein complex in adult rat serum. The C6 and B104 binding proteins do not react with antibodies to rIGFBP-2, and RNAs from C6 and B104 cells do not hybridize to cDNA probes for rIGFBP-2 or hIGFBP-1. 2) BRL-3A, Clone 9, and TRL 12-15 cell lines derived from normal rat liver express rIGFBP-2, a 30 kDa nonglycosylated IGF-binding protein that is recognized by antibodies to rIGFBP-2 but not by antibodies to hIGFBP-1. RNAs from these cells hybridize to a rIGFBP-2 cDNA probe, but not to a hIGFBP-1 probe. 3) H35 rat hepatoma cells express a 30 kDa nonglycosylated IGFBP that is presumptively identified as rIGFBP-1. It does not react with antibodies to rIGFBP-2, but is recognized by polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to hIGFBP-1. RNA from H35 cells hybridizes to a hIGFBP-1 cDNA probe, but not to a rIGFBP-2 probe. Expression of rIGFBP-1 by the H35 cell line has enabled us to establish and validate specific assays for this protein that allow us to study its regulation in intact rats. Identification of a panel of rat cell lines expressing specific IGFBPs should be useful in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of IGFBP regulation.  相似文献

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

Sheep thyroid cells cultured in serum-free medium were used to study the biologic activity, binding, and production of the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin stimulated thyroid cell division. Abundant, specific IGF receptors on sheep thyroid cell membranes were identified by binding displacement studies. Maximal specific binding of [125I]-labeled IGF-I and IGF-II to 25 micrograms of membrane protein averaged 21% and 27% respectively. The presence of type I and type II IGF receptors was confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of [125I]IGFs covalently cross-linked to cell membranes. Under reducing conditions, [125I]IGF-I bound to a moiety of approximate Mr = 135,000 and [125I]IGF-II to a moiety of approximate Mr = 260,000. Cross-linking of [125I]IGF-I to medium conditioned by thyroid cells indicated the presence of four IGF binding proteins with apparent Mr = 34,000, 26,000, 19,000 and 14,000. Thyroid cells also secreted IGF-I and II into the medium. IGF synthesis was enhanced consistently by recombinant growth hormone. These data indicate that sheep thyroid cells are a site for IGF action, binding, and production and provide further evidence that IGFs may modulate thyroid gland growth in an autocrine or paracrine manner.  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 binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) can inhibit cell growth by directly interacting with cells, as well as by forming complexes with IGF-I and IGF-II that prevent their growth-promoting activity. The present study examines the mechanism of inhibition of DNA synthesis by IGFBP-3 in CCL64 mink lung epithelial cells. DNA synthesis was measured by the incorporation of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine, using an immunocolorimetric assay. Recombinant human IGFBP-3 (rh[N109D,N172D]IGFBP-3) inhibited DNA synthesis in proliferating and quiescent CCL64 cells. Inhibition was abolished by co-incubation of IGFBP-3 with a 20% molar excess of Leu(60)-IGF-I, a biologically inactive IGF-I analogue that binds to IGFBP-3 but not to IGF-I receptors. DNA synthesis was not inhibited by incubation with a preformed 1:1 molar complex of Leu(60)-IGF-I and IGFBP-3, indicating that only free IGFBP-3 inhibits CCL64 DNA synthesis. Inhibition by IGFBP-3 is not due to the formation of biologically inactive complexes with free IGF, since endogenous IGFs could not be detected in CCL64 conditioned media; any IGFs that might have been present could only have existed in inactive complexes, since endogenous IGFBPs were present in excess; and biologically active IGFs were not displaced from endogenous IGFBP complexes by Leu(60)-IGF-I. After incubation with CCL64 cells, (125)I-IGFBP-3 was covalently cross-linked to a major thick similar400-kDa complex. This complex co-migrated with a complex formed after incubation with (125)I-labeled transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) that has been designated the type V TGF-beta receptor. (125)I-IGFBP-3 binding to the thick similar400-kDa receptor was inhibited by co-incubation with unlabeled IGF-I or Leu(60)-IGF-I. The ability of Leu(60)-IGF-I to decrease both the inhibition of DNA synthesis by IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-3 binding to the thick similar400-kDa receptor is consistent with the hypothesis that the thick similar400-kDa IGFBP-3 receptor mediates the inhibition of CCL64 DNA synthesis by IGFBP-3.  相似文献

1. The binding of 125I-labelled insulin-like growth factor 1 (125I-IGF-1) to Swiss mouse 3T3 fibroblasts was time- and concentration-dependent. Unlabelled IGF-1 had a slightly higher potency than multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA) in inhibiting the binding of 125I-IGF-1, and insulin gave a parallel inhibition curve at 300-1000-fold lower potency. Chemical cross-linking of bound 125I-IGF-1 to its receptors, followed by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions, revealed a major band of Mr 130,000, the labelling of which was inhibited by IGF-1 or high concentrations of insulin. 2. The binding of 125I-IGF-1 was not affected by either co-incubation or preincubation of the cells with a range of heterologous growth factors and mitogens. However, IGF-1 and MSA each induced down-regulation of 125I-IGF-1 binding sites. 3. The maximal stimulations of DNA synthesis induced by IGF-1, MSA and insulin, in the presence of a synergizing mitogen, were similar. The dose-response curve for insulin was not parallel to those for IGF-1 and MSA; in particular, low concentrations of insulin induced a greater stimulation than expected on the basis of its potency in the inhibition or down-regulation of 125I-IGF-1 binding. 4. The preincubation of 125I-IGF-1 with Swiss 3T3 cells at 37 degrees C decreased its ability to bind to a second batch of cells. This inactivation did not occur when the preincubation was performed at 4 degrees C or in the presence of cycloheximide. Chemical cross-linking revealed that the cells released an IGF-binding protein, giving a complex of Mr about 48,000. 5. It is concluded that type I IGF receptors mediate the stimulation of Swiss 3T3 cells by insulin-like mitogens, but that insulin probably stimulates the cells through insulin receptors. The cells can modulate the amount of ligand binding, both by down-regulation of the receptors and by the secretion of an IGF-binding protein.  相似文献

The immunoglobulin fraction prepared from the serum of a rabbit immunized with purified type II insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor from rat placenta was tested for its specificity in inhibiting receptor binding of 125I-IGF II and for its ability to modulate IGF II action on rat hepatoma H-35 cells. The specific binding of 125I-IGF II to plasma membrane preparations from several rat cell types and tissues was inhibited by the anti-IGF II receptor Ig. Affinity cross-linking of 125I-IGF II to the Mr = 250,000 type II IGF receptor structure in rat liver membranes was blocked by the anti-receptor Ig, while no effect on affinity labeling of insulin receptor with 125I-insulin or IGF I receptor with 125I-IGF I or 125I-IGF II was observed. The specific inhibition of ligand binding to the IGF II receptor by anti-receptor Ig was species-specific such that mouse receptor was less potently inhibited and human receptor was unaffected. Rat hepatoma H-35 cells contain insulin and IGF II receptor, but not IGF I receptor, and respond half-maximally to insulin at 10(-10) M and to IGF II at higher concentrations with increased cell proliferation (Massague, J., Blinderman, L.A., and Czech, M.P. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 13958-13963). Addition of anti-IGF II receptor Ig to intact H-35 cells inhibited the specific binding of 125I-IGF II to the cells by 70-90%, but had no detectable effect on 125I-insulin binding. Significantly, under identical conditions anti-IGF II receptor Ig was without effect on IGF II action on DNA synthesis at both submaximal and maximal concentrations of IGF II. This finding and the higher concentrations of IGF II required for growth promotion in comparison to insulin strongly suggest that the Mr = 250,000 receptor structure for IGF II is not involved in mediating this physiological response. Rather, at least in H-35 cells, the insulin receptor appears to mediate the effects of IGF II on cell growth. Consistent with this interpretation, anti-insulin receptor Ig but not anti-IGF II receptor Ig mimicked the ability of growth factors to stimulate DNA synthesis in H-35 cells. We conclude that the IGF II receptor may not play a role in transmembrane signaling, but rather serves some other physiological function.  相似文献

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) modulated growth response of the MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell line, which neither expresses c-sis mRNA nor secretes a PDGF analogue, was characterized. Scatchard analysis demonstrated that the MG-63 cells have 23,000 receptors per cell with a Kd of 5 X 10(-11) M. The receptor became phosphorylated, in a PDGF concentration-dependent manner, when 32P-orthophosphate-labeled cells were treated with PDGF for 3 h at 4 degrees C. The phosphorylated receptor was identified by autoradiography and gel electrophoresis after isolation of the 32P-labeled receptor using a solid-phase monoclonal antibody directed against phosphotyrosine. Binding of the receptor to the antibody was inhibited by 5 mM phenyl phosphate, further suggesting that PDGF stimulated tyrosine-specific receptor autophosphorylation. In addition, treatment of MG-63 cells with PDGF for 3 h at 37 degrees C induced a 7.5-fold increase in c-myc mRNA accumulation as analyzed on Northern gels. However, MG-63 cells grew equally well in either serum-(which contains PDGF) or plasma-(which does not) supplemented medium. Furthermore, PDGF did not stimulate DNA synthesis in growth arrested MG-63 cells, nor did it potentiate DNA synthesis modulated by somatomedin C. Thus MG-63 cells are a naturally occurring cell variant in which PDGF stimulates c-myc expression but does not modulate mitogenesis.  相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and -II have been cloned from a number of teleost species, but their cellular actions in fish are poorly defined. In this study, we show that both IGF-I and -II stimulated zebrafish embryonic cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas insulin had little mitogenic activity. Affinity cross-linking and immunoblotting studies revealed the presence of IGF receptors with the characteristics of the mammalian type I IGF receptor. Competitive binding assay results indicated that the binding affinities of the zebrafish IGF-I receptors to IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin are 1.9, 2.6, and >190 nM, indicating that IGF-I and -II bind to the IGF-I receptor(s) with approximately equal high affinity. To further investigate the cellular mechanism of IGF actions, we have studied the effects of IGFs on two major signal transduction pathways: mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase). IGFs activated MAPK in zebrafish embryonic cells in a dose-dependent manner. This activation occurred within 5 min of IGF-I stimulation and disappeared after 1 h. IGF-I also caused a concentration-dependent activation of protein kinase B, a downstream target of PI3 kinase, this activation being sustained for several hours. Inhibition of MAPK activation by the MAPK kinase inhibitor PD-98059 inhibited the IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis. Similarly, use of the PI3 kinase inhibitor LY-294002 also inhibited IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis. When both the MAPK and PI3 kinase pathways were inhibited using a combination of these compounds, the IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis was completely negated. These results indicate that both IGF-I and -II are potent mitogens for zebrafish embryonic cells and that activation of both the MAPK and PI3 kinase-signaling pathways is required for the mitogenic action of IGFs in zebrafish embryonic cells.  相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) has been reported to stimulate hair elongation and to facilitate maintenance of the hair follicle in anagen phase. However, little is known about IGF1 signaling in the hair follicle. In this study we investigate the effects of IGF1, glucocorticoids, and retinoids on dermal papilla (DP) cell production of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). IGFBPs comprise a family of IGF binding proteins that are produced and released by most cell types. They bind to IGFs to either enhance or inhibit IGF activity. In the present report we identify IGFBP-3 as being produced and released by cultured human dermal papilla (DP) cells. IGFBP-3 levels are increased fivefold by retinoic acid, eightfold by dexamethasone, and tenfold by IGF1. DP cells are known to produce IGF1, and so the observed stimulation of DP cell IGFBP-3 production by IGF1 is consistent with the idea that DP cells possess the IGF transmembrane receptor kinase and are autoregulated by IGFs. The level of another IGFBP, tentatively identified as IGFBP-2, is, in contrast, not regulated by these agents. IGFBP-3 has been shown to inhibit the activity of IGFs in a variety of systems. Our results are consistent with a model in which retinoids and glucocorticoids inhibit IGF action on DP cells and surrounding matrix cells by stimulating increased DP cell production of IGFBP-3. The IGFBP-3, in turn, forms a complex with free IGF1 to reduce the concentration of IGF1 available to stimulate hair elongation and maintenance of anagen phase. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptors at the cell surface and the changes in IGF responsiveness during differentiation were studied in the L6 skeletal muscle cell line. Throughout the entire developmental sequence, distinct receptors for IGF I and IGF II that differed in structure and peptide specificity could be demonstrated. During differentiation, both 125I-IGF I and 125I-IGF II binding to the L6 cells decreased as a result of a 3-4-fold reduction in receptor number, whereas 125I-insulin binding increased. Under nonreducing conditions, disuccinimidyl suberate cross-linked 125I-IGF I and 125I-IGF II to two receptor complexes with apparent Mr greater than 300,000 (type I) and 220,000 (type II). Under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular weight of the type I receptor changed to Mr 130,000 (distinct from the 120,000 insulin receptor) and the type II receptor changed to 250,000. IGF I and IGF II both stimulated 2-deoxy-D-glucose and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake in the L6 cells with a potency close to that of insulin, apparently through interaction with their own receptors. The stimulatory effects of IGF II correlated with its affinity for the type II but not the type I IGF receptor, as measured by inhibition of affinity labeling, whereas the effects of IGF I correlated with its ability to inhibit labeling of the type I receptor. In spite of the decrease in type I and type II receptor number, stimulation of 2-deoxy-glucose and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake by the two IGFs increased during differentiation.  相似文献

1. The distribution and relative insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding capacities of membranes derived from 14 tissues of the turkey were examined. 2. Affinity cross-linking analyses using [125I]IGF-I and [125I]IGF-II with membranes derived from the liver, pectoralis major muscle, gizzard, heart and brain indicated that both IGFs interact with only type-I IGF receptors on these tissues. 3. There was no evidence for the existence of a type-II IGF receptor in any tissue. 4. Although considerable variation was detected in the molecular weights of the IGF receptor alpha subunits between tissues (112.2-132.9 kDa), these differences did not appear to influence receptor-ligand affinities.  相似文献

Collagen has been reported to be essential for the proliferation of various kinds of cells including human osteoblastic cells [Takamizawa, S., Maehata, Y., Imai, K., Senoo, H., Sato, S., Hata, R., 2004. Effects of ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a long-acting vitamin C derivative, on the proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblast-like cells. Cell Biol. Int. 28, 255-265], but the type(s) of collagen responsible for growth regulation is not known. Presently we found that ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a long-acting vitamin C derivative, stimulated both cell growth and the expression of mRNA for type III collagen in human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells and in normal human osteoblasts, as well as in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, but not the expression of type I collagen in these cells. Epidermal growth factor also stimulated both cell growth and expression of type III collagen mRNA in MG-63 cells. Among MG-63 cell clones, their growth rates correlated significantly with their COL3A1 messenger RNA levels but not with their COL1A1 or COL1A2 messenger RNA levels. Transfection of MG-63 cells with siRNA for COL3A1 but not with that for COL1A1 decreased the growth rates of the transfected cells concomitant with a drop in the level of COL3A1 mRNA. Furthermore, cell proliferation as observed by thymidine incorporation into DNA and cell number was increased when MG-63 cells were cultured on type III collagen-coated dishes. Taken together, our results indicate that type III collagen is the collagen component responsible for the growth stimulation of human osteoblastic cells.  相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor II binding and action in human fetal fibroblasts   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
To investigate the role of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) in human prenatal growth, IGF-II binding and biological action were studied in four lines of fetal and three lines of postnatal human fibroblasts. Specific binding of IGF-II was similar in both groups: 15.7% and 14.9% for fetal and postnatal fibroblasts, respectively. This was 5-10 times the amount of IGF-I binding found in these cells. IGF-I and IGF-II caused dose-dependent increases in [14C]aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) uptake. IGF-II was sevenfold less potent than IGF-I in stimulating this metabolic response in both fetal and postnatal fibroblasts. The maximal effect of IGF-II in stimulating [14C]AIB uptake approach that of IGF-I. Similar results were obtained when IGF-I and IGF-II stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was compared in fetal and postnatal fibroblasts. Incubation in the presence of alpha IR-3, a monoclonal antibody to the type I IGF receptor, inhibited the ability of both IGF-I and IGF-II to stimulate [14C]AIB uptake and [3H]thymidine incorporation in fetal and postnatal cells. A monoclonal antibody to the insulin receptor did not affect IGF action. These data indicate that IGF-II is a potent metabolic and mitogenic stimulus for human fetal fibroblasts. However, despite the presence of abundant type II IGF receptors on both fetal and postnatal human fibroblasts, IGF-II stimulation of amino acid transport and DNA synthesis appears to be mediated through the type I rather than through its own type II IGF receptor.  相似文献

Zinc (Zn(2+)) is a multifunctional micronutrient. The list of functions for this micronutrient expanded with the recent discovery that Zn(2+) retains insulin-like growth factors binding proteins (IGFBPs) on the surface of cultured cells, lowers the affinity of cell-associated IGFBPs, and increases the affinity of the cell surface insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-type 1 receptor (IGF-1R). However, currently there is no information concerning the effect of Zn(2+) on soluble IGFBPs. In the current study, the soluble IGFBP-5 secreted by BC(3)H-1 cells is shown to bind approximately 50% more [(125)I]-IGF-II than [(125)I]-IGF-I at pH 7.4. Zn(2+) is shown to depress the binding of both IGF-I and IGF-II to soluble secreted IGFBP-5; [(125)I]-IGF-I binding is affected more so than [(125)I]-IGF-II binding. Zn(2+) acts by lowering the affinity (K(a)) of IGFBP-5 for the IGFs. Scatchard plots are non-linear indicating the presence of high and low affinity binding sites; Zn(2+) affects only binding to the high affinity site. In contrast, Zn(2+) increases the affinity by which either [(125)I]-IGF-I or [(125)I]-R(3)-IGF-I binds to the IGF-1R, but depresses [(125)I]-IGF-II binding to the IGF-type 2 receptor (IGF-2R) on BC(3)H-1 cells. By depressing the association of the IGFs with soluble IGFBPs, Zn(2+) is shown to repartition either [(125)I]-IGF-I or [(125)I]-IGF-II from soluble IGFBP-5 onto cell surface IGF receptors. Zn(2+) was active at physiological doses depressing IGF binding to IGFBP-5 and the IGF-2R at 15-20 microM. Hence, a novel mechanism is further characterized by which the trace micronutrient Zn(2+) could regulate IGF activity.  相似文献

The insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF I and II) and their cell surface receptors are expressed in the mammalian embryo and may function as autocrine or paracrine growth factors during early development. P19 embryonic carcinoma cells, derived from a 7.5 day mouse embryo, were used as a model for a functional study of the IGF system in post-implantation embryogenesis. Undifferentiated P19 cells synthesized IGF I and II, the type I and II IGF receptors, and IGF binding proteins (IGF BP2, IGF BP3, and IGF BP4). P19 cells showed an increase in thymidine incorporation of 150% of control with a 4 hour incubation of IGF I (10 ng/ml) or IGF II (100 ng/ml) and an increase in cell viability compared to control cells during 24 hours of serum starvation. In both experiments IGF I was more potent than IGF II. Endogenous concentrations of IGF I and II in conditioned media were low compared to the doses of exogenous IGFs required for biologic effect, but nonetheless contributed significantly to baseline DNA synthesis, as demonstrated by inhibition of IGF actions with specific antibodies. Cell surface associated IGF BPs bound more radiolabeled IGF than IGF receptors, as determined by binding studies and affinity cross-linking. IGF I and IGF II appeared to regulate production of IGF BP2, suggesting that the IGFs may regulate their own actions by altering the abundance of their binding proteins. © 1993Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Acting through hormonal and/or autocrine/paracrine mechanisms, the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) stimulate the differentiation of muscle cells. Previous studies have suggested that one mechanism by which IGFs stimulate muscle cell differentiation is by increasing the expression of myogenin, a DNA binding protein that regulates the expression of muscle-specific genes. While exogenous IGF peptides increase myogenin mRNA, the role of endogenously produced IGF peptides in myogenin expression has not been established. In addition, the potential role of IGFs in regulating the expression of Id, a protein in myoblasts that can inhibit the action of myogenin-like peptides, is also unknown. In the present study, we have examined the kinetics of accumulation of myogenin and IGF-II mRNAs during differentiation of BC3H-1 mouse muscle cells and have explored the potential role of IGFs in regulating Id expression. During differentiation induced by serum withdrawal, induction of myogenin expression preceded that of IGF-II, the principal IGF peptide expressed by these cells. In addition, Id expression decreased within two hours in serum-free medium and was not affected by IGF treatment. Thus, these studies suggest that endogenously-produced IGF-II may stimulate muscle cell differentiation after both the decrease in Id and the induction of myogenin gene expression have occurred.  相似文献
