Abstract: | Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP) can inhibit or accentuate the mitogenic activities of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) depending upon the experimental model employed. Inhibitory effects may be attributed to sequestration of IGF-1 onto IGFBP rather than the type I IGF receptor. We have demonstrated that the presence of IGFBP in a simple equilibrium binding assay significantly reduces the total amount of IGF-1 bound to the type I IGF receptor and increases the IC50 for IGF-1 binding. On the basis of such an experiment, performed at equilibrium, IGFBP should reduce the mitogenic activity of IGF-1. Recent work has demonstrated an inverse correlation between the dissociation rate of insulin-like molecules from their receptors and their mitogenic activity. It has also been suggested that the increased rate of dissociation of insulin and IGF-1 from their receptors at increased ligand concentrations serves as a ‘dampening’ mechanism to decrease mitogenic signalling. We have demonstrated increased rates of dissociation of IGF-1 from the type I IGF receptor with increasing concentrations of IGF-1. Furthermore, IGFBP-3 inhibits the acceleration of dissociation rates due to increased IGF-1 levels. Thus, under receptor saturating conditions IGFBP-3 may act to increase mitogenesis by increasing the residence time of individual molecules of IGF-1 upon the type I IGF receptor. |
