Insulin is known to cause an increase in endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but the effect of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) on ET-1 receptor expression is not known. We therefore carried out the present study to determine the effect of IGF-1 on the binding of ET-1 to, and ET type A receptor (ETAR) expression and ET-1-induced 3H-thymidine incorporation in, vascular SMCs. In serum-free medium, IGF-1 treatment increased the binding of 125I-ET-1 to SMC cell surface ET receptors from a specific binding of 20.1%+/-3.1% per mg of protein in control cells to 45.1%+/-8.6% per mg of protein in cells treated with IGF-1 (10 nM). The effect of IGF-1 was dose-related, with a significant effect (1.4-fold) being seen at 1 nM. The minimal time for IGF-1 treatment to be effective was 30 min and the maximal effect was reached at 6 h. Immunoblotting analysis showed that ETAR expression in IGF-1-treated cells was increased by 1.7-fold compared to controls. Levels of ETAR mRNA measured by the RT-PCR method and Northern blotting were also increased by 2-fold in IGF-1-treated SMCs. These effects of IGF-1 were abolished by cycloheximide or genistein. Finally, ET-1-stimulated thymidine uptake and cell proliferation were enhanced by IGF-1 treatment, with a maximal increase of 3.2-fold compared to controls. In conclusion, in vascular SMCs, IGF-1 increases the expression of the ET-1 receptor in a dose- and time-related manner. This effect is associated with increased thymidine uptake and involves tyrosine kinase activation and new protein synthesis. These findings support the role of IGF-1 in the development of atherosclerotic, hypertensive, and diabetic vascular complications.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
