Diabetes mellitus is associated with a wide range of pathophysiological in the kidney. This study was designed to examine the effects of high glucose concentration on IGF-I binding and glucose transporters in renal proximal tubule cells. The results were as follows : The binding of $^{125}I-IGF-I$ reached the peak at the 30 minutes and gradually decreased by the time dependent manner. The binding of $^{125}I-IGF-I$ was inhibited by the unlabelled IGF-I($10^{-14}{\sim}10^{-8}M$) in a concentration dependent manner. The relative affinity of IGF-I receptor for IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin exhibited typical type 1 binding(IGF-I > insulin > IGF-II). However IGF-II did not compete for the cultured cell membrane $^{125}I-IGF-I$ binding site at $10^{-14}{\sim}10^{-8}M$. Under optimal conditions, IGF-I binding to the membranes from 5mM and 20mM glucose treated cells was analyzed. It was found that 20mM glucose treated cells exhibited higher binding activity for IGF-I. In order to further substantiate this increase in IGF-I binding sites, we performed affinity-labelling studies. The cross-linked cell membrane subjected to SDS-PAGE; labelled material was detected by autoradiography. 20mM glucose treated cells exhibited higher levels. The initial rate of $methyl-{\alpha}-D-glucopyranoside({\alpha}-MG)$ uptake was significantly lower($74.41{\pm}6.71%$) in monolayers treated with 20mM glucose than those of 5mM glucose. However, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose(3-O-MG) uptake was not affected by glucose concentration in culture media. IGF-I significantly increased ${\alpha}-MG$ uptake in both 5mM and 20mM glucose treated cells. However, 3-O-MG uptake was not affected by IGF-I in both conditions. In conclusion, 20mM glucose increased binding sites of $^{125}I-IGF-I$, inhibited Na/glucose cotransporter activity. But 20mM glucose did not change facilitated glucose transporter.

Transgenic rabbits were produced by DNA microinjection using growth hormone receptor (GHR) and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) genes. Overall efficiencies for production of transgenic rabbits were 3.2% and 3.1% in GHR and IGF-1R genes, respectively. Founder rabbits transmitted transgenes to their progenies through medelian fashion. Growth rate in GHR and ICF-1R transgenic rabbits was faster than non-transgenic rabbits. Transgenic rabbits grew larger (25% and 15% increase in body weight of GHR and IGF-1R transgenic rabbits, respectively) than non-transgenic rabbits and organ weight of transgenic rabbits increased, suggesting that GHR and IGF-1 genes affects growth rates in transgenic rabbits.

Polypeptide growth factor belong to a class of potent biologic mediator which regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and metabolism. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ decrease cell proliferation, and stimulate alkaline phosphatase activity which express in osteoblast during cell differentiation period. IGF-I is known to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation too. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ is known to increase IGF-I binding sites and IGF binding protein which inhibite the effect of IGF. The purpose of this study is to evaluate potential role of IGF-I as mediator that control the action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$. MC3T3-E1 cell were seeded $5{\times}10^5/ml$ at 100mm culture plate in ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After 48 hour incubation period, medium were changed ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 5% fetal bovine serum. After 24 hours, $10^{-9}M$ 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ added. Total mRNA was extracted at 0, 6, 24, 48, 72 hour. PRPCR method was programed for the detection of IGF-I mRNA. In the both groups of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin $D_3$ treated and control, alternative splicing form of IGF-I, IGF-IA and IGF-IB were expressed. In the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ treated group, IGF-I mRNA expression was matained until 24 hour, there after expression was decresed. MC3T3-E1 cell were seeded $2.5{\times}10^4/ml$ at 24well plate in ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After 48 hour incubation period, medium were changed ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 3% fetal bovine serum. After 24 hours, $10^{-9}M$ 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ and 10 ng/ml IGF-I were added separately or together. Cell were cultured for 1 and 3 days, $2{\mu}Ci/ml\;[^3H]$ -thymidine was added for the last 24h of culture of each days. ${[^3H]}$-thymidine incorporation in to DNA was measured and expressed counter per minute(CPM). DNA synthetic activity was significantly decreased by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ both at 1 day and 3 day, and in the combination group of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ and IGF-I, DNA synthetic activity was also decreased both at 1 day and 3 days. IGF-I did not affect the DNA synthetic activity compared to control group both at 1 day and 3 day. From the above results, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ was potent inhibitor of cell proliferaton in MC3T3-E1 cells. It assumed that the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ on osteoblast proliferation may be mediated in part by decreased level of IGF-I.

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system consisting of IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-receptors, and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) regulates the proliferation of a variety of cancer cell types. To examine whether a decrease in endogenous IGFBP-3 stimulates proliferation or inhibits differentiation, Caco-2 cells, a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, were stably transfected with an anti-sense IGFBP-3 expression construct or pcDNA3 vector as control. Accumulation of IGFBP-3 mRNA and secretion of IGFBP-3 into serum-free conditioned medium, 9 days after plating, were significantly lower in Caco-2 cell clones transfected with anti-sense IGFBP-3 cDNA compared to the controls. The anti-sense clones grew at a similar rate to the controls for 8 days after plating, but achieved a higher final density between days 10 and 12. The levels of sucrase-isomaltase mRNA, a marker of enterocyte differentiation of Caco-2 cells, were lower in the anti-sense clones examined on day 9. In conclusion, proliferation of Caco-2 cells can be stimulated by lowering endogenously-produced IGFBP-3.

To determine whether bile juice exclusion can prevent the mucosal damage, and Insulin-like growth factor-I can promote mucosal regeneration in ischemia-reperfusion injury of the bowel, 39 weanling rats with 10 cm of Thiry-Vella loop were studied. Animal groups were; Control, BL(common bile duct ligation), IGF{insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I) infusion} and IGF-BL(combined treatment). IGF-I(1.5 mg/kg/day) was continuously delivered through a subcutaneously implanted miniosmotic pump. After 15 minutes of superior mesenteric artery clamping, a tissue specimen(P) was taken after 30 minutes of reperfusion. Intestinal continuity was restored to allow oral feeding. A specimen of main tract(M) and another of the Thiry-Vella loop(T) were collected for histomorphometry after 48 hours of reperfusion and free feeding. Villus size ratio(VSR), crypt depth(CD), crypt-depth/villus-height ratio(CVR) and injury score(IS) were measured in 15 consecutive villi. The postoperative mortalities of bile duct ligation groups(BL and IGF-BL) were higher than those of other groups. In control group, VSR of M was lower(P<0.05) than P or T, but not in the other groups. VSR of M in control was lower than those in other groups. CD of T in control, IGF and IGF-BL group were higher than those of M. CD of M and T showed gradual increments from control, IGF and IGF-BL group, respectively. CVR of M and T in IGF group were higher than those in control. CVR in IGF-BL group, T was higher than M, and M was higher than P. About IS, M of BL($20.1{\pm}2.5$) and IGF-BL($20.9{\pm}3.3$) groups were significantly lower than that of control($32.4{\pm}2.5$). These results suggest that the exclusion of bile juice reduces the severity of the reperfusion injury of the mucosa, by inability to activate pancreatic enzymes and IGF-I stimulates mucosal regeneration in injured bowel, and the effect is potentiated by bile juice exclusion.

In order to elucidate the physiological function of circulating IGF-I on muscle protein synthesis in the chicken under malnutritional conditions, we administrated recombinant chicken IGF-I using a osmotic mini pump to fasted young chickens and measured the rate of muscle protein synthesis and plasma metabolite. The pumps delivered IGF-I at the rate of $22{\mu}g/d\{300{\mu}g{\cdot}(kg\;body\;weight{\cdot}d)^{-1}\}$. Fractional rate of protein synthesis in the muscle was measured using a large dose injection of L-[$2,6-^3H$]phenylalanine. Constant infusion of chicken IGF-I did not affect plasma glucose level. Significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion was observed in plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. When chicks were fasted, IGF-I infusion decreased plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. On the other hand, IGF-I administration did not affect plasma levels of both metabolites. Fasting reduced plasma triglyceride concentration significantly. IGF-I infusion also decreased the level of plasma triglyceride. Plasma IGF-I concentration of young chickens was halved by fasting for 1 d. IGF-I infusion using an osmotic minipump for 1 d increased plasma IGF-I concentration in fasted chicks to the level of fed chicks. Fasting decreased body weight and the loss of body weight was significantly ameliorated by IGF-I infusion. There was a significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion in the fractional rate of breast muscle protein synthesis. There was no effect of IGF-I infusion on muscle protein synthesis in fed chicks. Muscle protein synthesis reduced by fasting was ameliorated by IGF-I infusion, but did not reach to the level of fed control. Muscle weight of fasted chicks infused with IGF-I was similar to fasted birds without IGF-I infusion, which suggests that muscle protein degradation would be increased by IGF-I infusion as well as protein synthesis in fasted chicks.

Implantation is a most important biological process during pregnancy whereby conceptus establishes its survival as well as maintenance of pregnancy. During the periimplantation period, both uterine endometriurn and conceptus synthesize and secrete a host of growth factors and cytokines which mediate the actions of estrogen and /or progesterone and also exert their steroid-independent actions. Growth factors expressed by the materno-conceptal unit en masse have important roles in cell migration, stimulation or inhibition of cell proliferation, cellular differentiation, maintenance of pregnancy and materno-conceptal communications in an autorcrine /paracrine manner. The present review focuses on the role of the intrauterine IGF system during periimplantation conceptus development. The IGF system comprises of IGF- I and IGF- II ligands, types I and II IGF receptors and six or more IGF-binding proteins(IGFBPs). IGFs and IGFBPs are expressed and secreted by uterine endometrium with tissue, pregnancy stage and species specificities under the influence of estrogen, progesterone and other growth factor(s). Conceptus also synthesizes components of the IGF system beginning from a period between 2-cell and blastocyst stages. Maternal IGFs are utilized by both maternal and conceptal tissues; conceptus-derived growth factors are believed to be taken up primarily by conceptus. IGFs enhance the development of both maternal and conceptal compartments in a wide range of biological processes. They stimulate proliferation and differentiation of endometrial cells and placental precursor cells including decidual transformation from stromal cells, placental formation and the synthesis of some steroid and protein hormones by differentiated endometrial cells or placenta. It is also well-documented in a number of experimental settings that both IGFs stimulate preimplantation embryo development. In slight contrast to these, prenatal mice carrying a null mutation of IGF and /or IGF receptor gene do not exhibit any apparent growth retardation until after implantation. Reason (s) for this discrepancy between the knock-out result and the in vitro ones, however, is not known. IGFBPs, in general, are believed to inhibit IGF action within the materno-conceptal unit, thereby allowing endometrial stromal cell differentiation as well as dampening ex cessive placental invasion into maternal tissue. There is evidence, however, indicating that IGFBP can enhance IGF action depending on environrnental conditions perhaps by directioning IGF ligand to the target cell. There is also a third possibility that certain IGFBPs and their proteolytic fragments may have their own biological activities independent of the IGF. In addition to IGFBPs, IGFBP proteases including those found within the uterine tissue or lumen are thought to enhance IGF bioavailability by degrading their substrates without affecting their bound ligand. In this regard, preliminary results in early pregnant pigs suggest that a partially characterized IGFBP protease activity in uterine luminal fluid enhances intrauterine IGF bioavailability during conceptus morphological development. In summary, a number of in vitro results indicate that IGFs stimulates the development of the rnaterno-conceptal unit during the periimplantation period. IGFBPs appear to inhibit IGF action by sequestering their ligands, whereas IGFBP proteases are thought to enhance intrauterine bioavailability of IGFs. Much is remaining to be clarified, however, regarding the roles of the individual IGF system components. These include in vivo evidence for the role of IGFs in early conceptus development, identification of IGF-regulated genes and their functions, specific roles for individual IGFBPs, identification and characterization of IGFBP proteases. The intrauterine IGF club house thus will be paying a lot of attention to forthcoming results in above and other areas, with its door wide-open!

목 적 : 특발성 저신장증 환자에서 IGF-I 유전자 다형성의 역할에 대한 연구는 아직 보고되지 않았다. 저자들은 한국인 특발성 저신장증 환자를 대상으로 IGF-I 프로모터 CA repeat 유전자 다형성에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 방 법 : 신장 계측에 의해 2007년에 제작된 한국 소아 발육 표준 신장표에 의거하여 나이와 성별에 따른 신장백분위수가 3백분위수 미만인 131명을 대상으로 하였다. 성장호르몬 치료의 분석은 최소한 6개월 이상 성장호르몬 치료를 받은 37명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 유전자형의 분석은 유전자 염기서열분석을 통하여 실시하였다. CA repeat 횟수에 따른 대립유전자의 분포를 조사하였고, 이를 바탕으로 유전자형을 분석하였다. CA repeat의 heterozygous의 분석은 Gene Mapper software를 이용하였다. 혈청 IGF-I 농도는 RIA방법으로 측정하였다. 결 과 : 국인 특발성 저신장증 환자에서의 CA repeat의 분포는 15부터 22까지였으며, 19 repeat가 40.6%의 빈도로 가장 높았다. 유전자형에 따른 분포는 131명 중 17명(13.0%)이 19 CA repeat homozygous 였으며, 74명(56.5%)은 heterozygous, 40명(30.5%)은 19 CA repeat noncarrier 였다. 유전자형에 따른 키, 체중, BMI는 세군 모두에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 유전자형에 따른 혈청 IGF-I 농도는 19 CA repeat noncarrier군에서 $435.67{\pm}160.29$ ng/mL로, 19 CA homozygous 군에서의 $435.60{\pm}131.51$ ng/mL, 19 CA heterozygous 군에서의 $473.76{\pm}185.01$ ng/mL과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 나이와 혈청 IGF-I 농도와의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 세군 모두에서 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(P<0.01). 유전자형에 따른 첫 1년 동안의 성장호르몬 치료 효과를 분석한 결과 성장호르몬 치료 후 12개월로 환산한 성장속도는 19 CA homozygote군에서 $7.6{\pm}3.4$ Cm, 19 CA heterozygote군에서 $7.9{\pm}2.6$ cm 그리고 19 CA noncarrier군에서 $7.7{\pm}2.8$ cm로 세군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 성장호르몬 치료 전후의 신장표준편차점수 차이도 19 CA homozygote군에서 $0.6{\pm}0.2$, 19 CA heterozygote군에서 $0.5{\pm}0.4$ 그리고 19 CA noncarrier군에서 $0.5{\pm}0.4$로 세군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 결 론 : 특발성 저신장증 환자에서의 IGF-I 프로모터 CA repeat 유전자 다형성의 분포는 15부터 22까지였으며, 19 repeat가 40.6%의 빈도로 가장 높았다. 키, 체중, BMI 그리고 혈중 IGF-I농도는 유전자형에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 유전자형에 관계없이 나이와 혈중 IGF-I 농도 사이에는 모든 군에서 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 유전자형에 따른 첫 1년간의 성장호르몬 치료 효과도 유전자형에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 특발성 저신장증 환자에서는 IGF-I 유전자 다형성은 기능적 역할을 하지 못한다고 생각한다.

제2형 당뇨병은 인슐린 저항성과 인슐린 분비능의 장애에 의해서 복합적으로 나타나는 대사성 증후군 중 하나이다. 인슐린 저항성은 용어에서도 알 수 있듯이 인슐린 신호전달의 저하로 인한 인슐린 작용 감소가 나타나고 이는 인슐린 분비가 증가하더라도 포도당 이용은 감소된 상태이다. 인슐린 분비능은 직접적으로 인슐린 작용과는 무관한 것처럼 보이지만 자세히 살펴보면 인슐린 분비능의 중요한 역할을 하는 췌장 베타세포의 성장과 생존은 인슐린/IGF-1 신호 전달과 밀접한 관계가 있으므로 인슐린 분비능도 인슐린/IGF-1 신호전달과 관련이 있다. 그러므로 인슐린/IGF기 신호전달의 장애는 제2형 당뇨병의 병인에 매우 중요한 요인이다. 그러므로 제2형 당뇨병을 효과적으로 예방 또는 치료하기 위해서는 근육, 지방세포와 간등에서 인슐린 신호전달을 향상시켜 포도당 이용을 증가시키고, 시상하부에서 인슐린 신호전달을 향상시켜 식욕을 적절하게 조절할 수 있도록 하여 과체중이나 비만의 발생을 방지하고 췌장의 베타세포에서 인슐린/IGF-1 신호전달을 향상시켜 베타세포의 성장과 생존을 향상시켜 포도당에 대한 인슐린 분비 능을 촉진시키는 것이다. 최근에 FDA에서 승인받은 Exenatide는 glucagons like peptide-1 receptor agonist로 시상하부에 작용하여 식욕조절도 하고 췌장의 베타세포에서 IRS2의 발현을 증가시켜 인슐린/IGF-1 신호전달을 향상시켜 insulinotropic 작용을 가지는 것으로 알려졌다. 이 Exenatide는 도마뱀의 독침에서 분리한 peptide로 천연물로부터 유래된 약물이므로 천연물로부터 제2형 당뇨병을 치료할 수 있는 약물을 발견할 가능성은 매우 높으므로 이에 대한 연구는 체계적으로 이루어져야 하겠다.

인체의 다양한 기능을 증진시키는 작용을 하는 것으로 알려진 IGF-I의 생체내 분비를 촉진시키기 위해 천연 생약재성분으로 구성된 YGF251을 개발하였고 YGF251의 효능을 측정하였다. 이중 맹검 시험 방식으로 40세에서 70세 사이의 성인 남녀 31명을 대상으로 IGF-I을 비롯하여 체중, 혈압, 간기능 검사 및 신장기능 검사를 실시하였다. YGF251 및 위약 투석 후의 IGF-I 함량변화에 대한 대응표본 검정결과는 YGF251 투여군에서 투여 전에는 245.6 ng/mL 이었는데 1개월 투여 후에는 269.3 ng/mL, 2개월 투여 후에는 275.6 ng/mL으로 유의하게 증가하였다 (p<0.05). 한편 위약 투여군에서는 투여 전에는 280.0 ng/mL이었으나 1개월 투여 후에는 239.2 ng/mL, 2개월 투여 후에는 230.2 ng/mL으로 유의하게 감소하는 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 혈중 insulin함량은 실험군의 경우 YGF251 을 1개월 투여후 평균치로써 2배 정도의 증가를 보였으며 위약 투여군에서는 36% 정도 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 YGF251투여에 의한 체중 및 혈압의 변화는 거의 나타나지 않았다. YGF251 투여에 의해 나타날수 있는 간기능 및 신장기능 변화를 관찰 하기 위해 여러 항목들의 수치는 측정 오차 범위내에서의 변화만을 나타내었다.
