Limited proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is a normal process in the regulation of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) activity, which we have reproduced in vitro using plasmin and recombinant human non-glycosylated IGFBP-3 in order to isolate and characterize the fragments obtained. Two major fragments of 22-25 and 16 kD were purified by RP-HPLC. The 22- to 25-kD fragment had severely reduced affinity for IGF-I, compared with intact IGFBP-3. It weakly inhibited cell proliferation stimulated by IGF-I and had no effect on insulin-induced stimulation. The 16-kD fragment, which had lost all affinity for IGFs, unexpectedly proved to be a potent inhibitor of both IGF-I-induced and insulin-induced cell growth. This proteolytic fragment of IGFBP-3 therefore exhibits intrinsic inhibitory activity.

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.

D007335 Insulin-Like Growth Factor II A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the LIVER and to circulate in the BLOOD. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on SOMATOTROPIN. It is believed to be a major fetal growth factor in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I, which is a major growth factor in adults.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
