Growth Factor I

Sepsis causes an inhibition of protein synthesis in gastrocnemius that is resistant to the anabolic effects of insulin. The purpose of the present studies was to investigate the effect of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on protein synthesis during a 30-min perfusion of the isolated rat hindlimb from septic rats. Inclusion of IGF-I (1 or 10 nM) in the perfusate stimulated protein synthesis in gastrocnemius of septic rats 2.5-fold and restored rates of protein synthesis to those observed in control rats. The stimulation of protein synthesis did not result from an increase in the RNA content but was correlated with a 2.5-fold increase in the translational efficiency. The enhanced translational efficiency was accompanied by a 33 and 55% decrease in the abundance of free 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, respectively, indicating that IGF-I accelerated peptide-chain initiation relative to elongation/termination. These studies provide evidence that IGF-I can accelerate protein synthesis in gastrocnemius during chronic sepsis by reversing the sepsis-induced inhibition of peptide-chain initiation.

ABSTRACT Methods for the primary culture of muscle cells from fetal sheep were developed which gave high yields of cells. Myoblasts were grown in vitro, and allowed to fuse to form contractile multinucleate myotubes; these could be maintained in a good condition for at least 2 weeks. Protein turnover in these differentiated cultures was examined for sensitivity to each of four potentially anabolic peptide hormones and growth factors: insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (somatomedin C), epidermal growth factor and growth hormone. Insulin was found to have no effect except at high concentrations (1 μmol/l), compatible with its role as a somatomedin analogue. Insulin-like growth factor I was active at lower levels (1 nmol/l) but the cultures were not as responsive to it as were primary rat muscle cultures or differentiated L6 cells, which were tested in similar experiments. The maximum stimulation of protein synthesis observed with the ruminant system was only 16%. Epidermal growth factor was highly anabolic for primary cultures from sheep muscle, and the cells were very sensitive to it, half-maximal stimulation of protein synthesis being seen with concentrations as low as 20 pmol/l. No effects of bovine growth hormone were seen in the ovine system. However, an inhibition of protein breakdown was found with high concentrations (0·1 μmol/l) in the L6 rat myoblast cell line. It was found that the culture conditions used could affect the observed responses of protein synthesis and degradation, despite withdrawal of serum from the incubation media 22 h before testing. J.

The control of eucaryotic cell proliferation is governed largely by a series of regulatory events which occur in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. When stimulated to proliferate, quiescent (G0) 3T3 fibroblasts require transcription, rapid translation, and three growth factors for the growth state transition. We examined exponentially growing 3T3 cells to relate the requirements for G1 transit to those necessary for the transition from the G0 to the S phase. Cycling cells in the G1 phase required transcription, rapid translation, and a single growth factor (insulin-like growth factor [IGF] I) to initiate DNA synthesis. IGF I acted post-transcriptionally at a late G1 step. All cells in the G1 phase entered the S phase on schedule if either insulin (hyperphysiological concentration) or IGF I (subnanomolar concentration) was provided as the sole growth factor. In medium lacking all growth factors, only cells within 2 to 3 h of the S phase were able to initiate DNA synthesis. Similarly, cells within 2 to 3 h of the S phase were less dependent on transcription and translation for entry into the S phase. Cells responded very differently to inhibited translation than to growth factor deprivation. Cells in the early and mid-G1 phases did not progress toward the S phase during transcriptional or translational inhibition, and during translational inhibition they actually regressed from the S phase. In the absence of growth factors, however, these cells continued progressing toward the S phase, but still required IGF at a terminal step before initiating DNA synthesis. We conclude that a suboptimal condition causes cells to either progress or regress in the cell cycle rather than freezing them at their initial position. By using synchronized cultures, we also show that in contrast to earlier events, this final, IGF-dependent step did not require new transcription. This result is in contrast to findings that other growth factors induce new transcription. We examined the requirements for G1 transit by using a chemically transformed 3T3 cell line (BPA31 cells) which has lost some but not all ability to regulate its growth. Early- and mid-G1-phase BPA31 cells required transcription and translation to initiate DNA synthesis, although they did not regress from the S phase during translational inhibition. However, these cells did not need IGF for entry into the S phase.

This study determined whether rates of protein synthesis increase after acute resistance exercise in skeletal muscle from severely diabetic rats. Previous studies consistently show that postexercise rates of protein synthesis are elevated in nondiabetic and moderately diabetic rats. Severely diabetic rats performed acute resistance exercise ( n= 8) or remained sedentary ( n = 8). A group of nondiabetic age-matched rats served as controls ( n = 9). Rates of protein synthesis were measured 16 h after exercise. Plasma glucose concentrations were >500 mg/dl in the diabetic rats. Rates of protein synthesis (nmol phenylalanine incorporated ⋅ g muscle−1 ⋅ h−1, means ± SE) were not different between exercised (117 ± 7) and sedentary (106 ± 9) diabetic rats but were significantly ( P < 0.05) lower than in sedentary nondiabetic rats (162 ± 9) and in exercised nondiabetic rats (197 ± 7). Circulating insulin concentrations were 442 ± 65 pM in nondiabetic rats and 53 ± 11 and 72 ± 19 pM in sedentary and exercised diabetic rats, respectively. Plasma insulin-like growth factor I concentrations were reduced by 33% in diabetic rats compared with nondiabetic rats, and there was no difference between exercised and sedentary diabetic rats. Muscle insulin-like growth factor I was not affected by resistance exercise in diabetic rats. The results show that there is a critical concentration of insulin below which rates of protein synthesis begin to decline in vivo. In contrast to previous studies using less diabetic rats, severely diabetic rats cannot increase rates of protein synthesis after acute resistance exercise.

The effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), insulin, and leucine on protein turnover and pathways that regulate proteolytic gene expression and protein polyubiquitination were investigated in primary cultures of 4-day-old rainbow trout myocytes. Supplementing media with 100 nM IGF-I increased protein synthesis by 13% ( P < 0.05) and decreased protein degradation by 14% ( P < 0.05). Treatment with 1 μM insulin increased protein synthesis by 13% ( P < 0.05) and decreased protein degradation by 17% ( P < 0.05). Supplementing media containing 0.6 mM leucine with an additional 2.5 mM leucine did not increase protein synthesis rates but reduced rates of protein degradation by 8% ( P < 0.05). IGF-I (1 nM–100 nM) and insulin (1 nM-1 μM) independently reduced the abundance of ubiquitin ligase mRNA in a dose-dependent manner, with maximal reductions of ∼70% for muscle atrophy F-box (Fbx) 32, 40% for Fbx25, and 25% for muscle RING finger-1 (MuRF1, P < 0.05). IGF-I and insulin stimulated phosphorylation of FOXO1 and FOXO4 ( P < 0.05), which was inhibited by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor wortmannin, and decreased the abundance of polyubiquitinated proteins by 10–20% ( P < 0.05). Supplementing media with leucine reduced Fbx32 expression by 25% ( P < 0.05) but did not affect Fbx25 nor MuRF1 transcript abundance. Serum deprivation decreased rates of protein synthesis by 60% ( P < 0.05), increased protein degradation by 40% ( P < 0.05), and increased expression of all ubiquitin ligases. These data suggest that, similar to mammals, the inhibitory effects of IGF-I and insulin on proteolysis occur via P I3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling and are partially responsible for the ability of these compounds to promote protein accretion.
