Glucocorticoids stimulate, while insulin inhibits, the hepatic transcription of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1). In the present studies, human HEP G2 hepatoma cells were transiently transfected with human (h)IGFBP-1 promoter constructs. Activity of a construct containing the first 1205 base pairs (bp) of the hIGFBP-1 promoter was stimulated 6-9.5-fold by dexamethasone, and this increase was inhibited approximately 76% by insulin. Deletion and site-directed mutations of the hIGFBP-1 promoter (a) identified two glucocorticoid response elements, located within the first 200 bp of the promoter, which are essential for dexamethasone-stimulated promoter activity and which specifically bind human glucocorticoid receptor; (b) showed that a recently characterized insulin-responsive element, located approximately 110 bp 5' to the transcription start site (Suwanichkul, A., Morris, S.L., and Powell, D. R. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 17063-17068), confers the entire inhibitory effect of insulin not only on basal but also on glucocorticoid-stimulated promoter activity; and (c) showed that this insulin-responsive element is essential for maximal glucocorticoid-stimulated activity. These studies suggest that the interaction of proteins that bind to a cluster of cis elements located in the first 200 bp of the hIGFBP-1 promoter are of major importance in modulating the opposing effects of glucocorticoids and insulin on hepatic hIGFBP-1 expression.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

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.

D011965 Receptors, Glucocorticoid Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.
