Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) is a peptide growth factor that is synthesized in cultured mesangial cells and induces hyperplasia. We tested whether incubation with IGF-1 at concentrations of 7 nM, 70 nM, and 350 nM stimulates mesangial cell extracellular matrix mRNA and protein levels, and whether it influences mesangial cell growth. Mesangial cells incubated with IGF-1 demonstrated a statistically significant increase in procollagen alpha 1(I) (100 +/- 13% vs. 147 +/- 12%, 154 +/- 10%, and 173 +/- 21%) and alpha 1(IV) 100 +/- 9% vs. 112 +/- 9%, 125 +/- 8%, and 172 +/- 28%) mRNA. Furthermore, IGF-1 also stimulated a statistically significant increment in alpha 1(IV) mRNA in isolated glomeruli when measured by Northern hybridization and corroborated by in situ hybridization experiments. In addition, mesangial cells incubated with IGF-1 induced a statistically significant increase in both secreted and cell associated type I (secreted: 100 +/- 5% vs. 127 +/- 9%, 148 +/- 5%, 178 +/- 11%; and cell-associated: 100 +/- 19 vs. 132 +/- 17%, 198 +/- 24%, and 314 +/- 17%) and type IV (secreted: 100 +/- 19% vs. 138 +/- 11%, 192 +/- 17%, 379 +/- 16%, and cell-associated: 100 +/- 8% vs. 139 +/- 10%, 206 +/- 16%, 310 +/- 15%) collagen. Thus, mRNA and collagen levels increased in a dose dependent fashion after incubation with IGF-1. Furthermore, IGF-1 stimulated hyperplasia but not hypertrophy in this in vitro system. These data suggest that IGF-1 may contribute to glomerular sclerosis by increasing mesangial matrix production as well as proliferation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006965 Hyperplasia An increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ without tumor formation. It differs from HYPERTROPHY, which is an increase in bulk without an increase in the number of cells. Hyperplasias
D006984 Hypertrophy General increase in bulk of a part or organ due to CELL ENLARGEMENT and accumulation of FLUIDS AND SECRETIONS, not due to tumor formation, nor to an increase in the number of cells (HYPERPLASIA). Hypertrophies
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.

D007797 Laminin Large, noncollagenous glycoprotein with antigenic properties. It is localized in the basement membrane lamina lucida and functions to bind epithelial cells to the basement membrane.
