Abstract

The insulin-like growth factors(IGFs) are bound to several binding proteins(IGFBPs) that appear to regulate IGF transport, receptor binding, and its action. The concentration of these peptides are altered by catabolic conditions. To determine IGF-I and IGFBP levels in noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), sera was obtained from 5 patients and 7 controls. Serum levels of IGF-I in NIDDM were lower than those in either of the controls. By western immunoblot analysis, especially IGFBP-1 levels are increased, whereas IGFBP-3 levels decreased and their fragments was increased in NIDDM serum. IGFBP-3 proteolytic activity in NIDDM sera was inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF), aprotinin, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA). This pattern of inhibition was consistent with a metal-dependent serine protease. By gelatin zymography, these proteolytic enzymes were identified as the size of 97 and 69 kDa. IGFBP-1, which is primarily insulin regulated, was increased in NIDDM and may modulate circulating IGF-I levels by regulating capillary passage of IGF-I. IGFBP-3 proteolysis markedly reduces its affinity for the IGFs, particularly for IGF-I. This accelerates their kinetics of dissociation, thereby increasing the proportions of IGF-I in free form and its availability to the cells.

이상의 결과를 요약하연, 혈당값은 정상대조군 78{\pm}6.20mg/dl, 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자 $184{\pm}18.94mg/dl$로 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자의 혈당값이 유의적으로 높았다. IGF-I의 수준은 정상대조군 $9.32{\pm}1.48{\mu}g/ml$, 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자 $4.19{\pm}0.84{\mu}g/ml$로 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자의 IGF-I 수준이 유의적으로 낮았다. 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자의 혈청 중 IGFBP-1, -2는 증가한 반면, IGFBP-3, -4, -5는 감소하였다. IGFBP-3의 분해에 관여하는 효소는 PMSF, aprotinin, EDTA에 의해 저해되어 metal-dependent serine proteases임을 확인하였고, 효소의 크기가 대략 97,66kDa 이었으며 효소활성이 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자에게서 큼을 확인하였다.
