Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 production by MCF-7 breast cancer cells: stimulation by retinoic acid and cyclic adenosine monophosphate and differential effects of estradiol.

Abstract：

:The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) stimulate the proliferation of human breast cancer cells, including the estrogen-dependent cell line MCF-7. These cells secrete regulatory IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) which may enhance or attenuate IGF-stimulated cell proliferation. In this study, we have used RIA to quantify the production and regulation of IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-6 by MCF-7 cells in vitro. Under basal (serum- and phenol red-free) conditions, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-6 accumulated in 72 h-conditioned MCF-7 medium to concentrations of approximately 0.18 nM and 0.02 nM, respectively. Treatment with retinoic acid (RA, 100 nM) increased medium concentrations of IGFBP-3 to 175 +/- 8% (mean +/- SE, n = 4), and IGFBP-6 to 217 +/- 20% of control values. Forskolin (0.5 microM) or dibutyryl cAMP (db-cAMP, 1 mM) increased both proteins 2- to 3-fold. In the presence of 100 nM RA, the stimulation elicited by these agents was enhanced, with IGFBP-3 levels increasing to 6-fold above that seen with RA alone. IGFBP-6 increased 12-fold with RA + forskolin and 20-fold with RA + dbcAMP. Estrogen (10 nM estradiol) reduced basal IGFBP-3 levels by 25% but increased IGFBP-6 1.5- to 2-fold. The stimulatory effect of RA + forskolin on IGFBP-3 was partially reversed by estrogen, whereas RA + forskolin-stimulated IGFBP-6 levels were further increased by estrogen. Increased IGFBP-3 and -6 production in response to RA + forskolin was accompanied by a decrease in IGF-stimulated thymidine incorporation into DNA; by contrast, the bioactivity of an IGF analog that does not bind with IGFBPs, [Gln3, Ala4, Tyr15, Leu16]IGF-I, was unchanged under these conditions. These data demonstrate that modulating the production of IGFBPs can lead to changes in the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to IGFs, and as a result change the cell proliferative effects of these growth factors. Further, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-6 are differentially regulated by estrogen. Dissecting the roles of the individual IGFBPs is essential to understanding how such differential regulation will ultimately affect IGF-stimulated cell proliferation in breast cancer.
