Since IGFBPs have equal or higher affinity for IGFs than do IGF receptors, it is believed that degradation of IGFBPs by IGFBP-degrading proteinases is an important step in regulating IGF bioactivity. Recent studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that at least two IGFBPs, i.e. IGFBP-3 and -5, are degraded under physiologic conditions by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). <em>In vitro</em>, we have demonstrated that IGFBP-3 is degraded in human dermal fibroblast cultures by MMPs using a variety of techniques, including proteinase inhibition with a specific inhibitor of MMPs, i.e. tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1), immunoabsorption with specific antisera to human MMPs and a unique method developed in our laboratory, IGFBP-3 substrate zymography. Using similar methods, we have also demonstrated that MMPs, along with an unidentified 97-kDa proteinase, degrade IGFBP-5 in murine osteoblast cultures. In rat pregnancy serum, we have shown that degradation of IGFBP-3 is associated with MMP activity present in the serum, which likely arises from the placental compartment. Analysis of the cleavage products of IGFBP-3 produced by MMPs 1, 2 and 3 reveals that MMPs cleave exclusively within the non-homologous, mid-region of the molecule. Together, these studies suggest that MMPs, beyond their previously described roles as extracellular matrix degrading enzymes, may also exert effects on cellular growth and differentiation via degradation of IGFBPs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77335,"journal":{"name":"Progress in growth factor research","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 255-263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0955-2235(95)00017-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19785518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, rodents differ from other mammals because they contain only minimal circulating levels of IGF-II and they are poorly responsive to GH. In this report we review a series of experiments carried out in pigs, a species that is both GH responsive and has high blood concentrations of IGF-II. Intravenous bolus administration of IGFs to 55 kg pigs depressed blood glucose with the potency greatest for analogues such as des(1–3)IGF-I, R<sup>3</sup>IGF-I and LongR<sup>3</sup>IGF-I that showed the weakest binding to pig IGFBP-3, a similar efficacy pattern to that reported in the rat. Chronic subcutaneous administration of LongR<sup>3</sup>IGF-I, however, reduced growth rates, led to a depression in food intake and lowered concentrations of IGF-I, IGF-II and IGFBP-3. IGF-I itself depressed IGF-II concentrations and did not stimulate growth. Subcutaneous infusion of IGFs over a 3-day period, also in 55 kg pigs, demonstrated that analogues that bound least well to IGFBP-3 were the most effective at reducing the concentration of this binding protein, suggesting that the inhibition of growth was related to the depression of IGFBP-3. On the other hand, IGF-I and LongR<sup>3</sup>IGF-I increased growth rats in neonatal pigs, especially under conditions of reduced food intake. As these anabolic effects occur at a developmental stage where the animals are insensitive to GH in a manner analogous to the situation in rats, it is plausible that the feed-back inhibition of GH secretion explains the catabolic response to IGFs in older pigs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77335,"journal":{"name":"Progress in growth factor research","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 385-395"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0955-2235(95)00007-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19785989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
