IGF-binding protein-1 inhibits IGF effects on adipocyte function: Implications for insulin-like actions at the adipocyte

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    IGF action in vivo is acutely regulated by IGF-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and its phosphorylation state is implicated in modulating these effects. Since IGFs have an important regulatory role in adipocyte function, we investigated the effects of phosphorylated IGFBP-1 (pIGFBP-1) and non-phosphorylated IGFBP-1 (npIGF BP-1) on 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation and adipocyte metabolism. IGFs stimulated clonal expansion of 3T3-L1 cells (IGF-I more potently than IGF-II (EC50: 30 nM and 50 nM)). npIGFBP-1 inhibited IGF-I (50 nM) clonal expansion at a 5:1 molar ratio (P
