Regulation of low molecular weight insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in experimental diabetes mellitus.

Abstract：

:Circulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioactivity is reduced in animals and patients with diabetes mellitus. We sought to determine whether the availability and levels of specific IGF binding proteins (BPs) are altered in animals with experimental diabetes, and might contribute to changes in circulating IGF bioactivity in experimental diabetes. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were administered streptozotocin or citrate buffer iv, and then killed either 3 days later, or else after 4-day insulin treatment (7.5 U/kg human NPH twice daily), or 2 days after insulin was discontinued. Serum [125I]IGF-I binding activity was markedly increased in diabetic animals compared to controls when analyzed by Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, dot blot, and affinity labeling techniques, due to increased binding to low mol wt BPs (81 +/- 4% of ligand eluting with low mol wt BPs in diabetic serum vs. 22 +/- 3% in control, P less than 0.001). In contrast, activated charcoal removed ligand from these BPs and underestimated the availability of BPs in diabetes. Serum binding activity fell toward control levels during insulin therapy, then rose again after insulin was withdrawn, corresponding to changes in metabolic status. To distinguish changes in specific BPs, serum proteins were separated by 13% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, then transferred to nitrocellulose. Ligand blotting with [125I]IGF-I demonstrated that serum levels of a 32 K mol wt IGF BP are markedly increased in diabetic rats and decline during insulin therapy. Levels of this 32 K IGF BP rose again after insulin was discontinued, demonstrating regulation in accordance with changes in insulin and metabolic status. Western analysis and affinity labeling with immunoprecipitation revealed that this 32 K protein is distinct from the 34 K fetal rat BP, and is immunologically related to the type 1 human IGF BP. We conclude that circulating [125I]IGF-I binding activity is markedly increased in animals with acute streptozotocin-induced diabetes, due to changes in low mol wt proteins, including a 32 K type 1 IGF BP that is regulated by changes in insulin and/or metabolic status. Regulation of low mol wt IGF BPs by insulin, and perhaps other factors, may play an important role in the modulation of tissue growth factor bioactivity in metabolic disease.
