Popis: | The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are trophic factors whose growth-promoting actions are mediated via the IGF-I receptor and modulated by six IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). In this study, we observed increased transcripts of both IGF-I and IGF-I receptor after rat sciatic nerve transection. Schwann cells (SCs) were the main source of IGF-I and IGFBP-5 immunoreactivity until 7 days after nerve transection, when invading macrophages in the distal nerve stumps were strongly IGF-I positive. In vitro, IGF-I promoted SC mitogenesis. Northern analysis revealed that SCs expressed IGF-I receptor and IGFBP-5. IGF-I treatment increased the intensity of IGFBP-5 without affecting gene expression. Des(1-3)IGF-I, an IGF-I analogue with low affinity for IGFBP, had no such effect. Incubation of recombinant human IGFBP-5 with SC conditioned media revealed IGF-I protection of IGFBP-5 from proteolysis, implying the presence of an IGFBP-5 protease in SC conditioned media. Collectively, these data support the concept that, in response to nerve injury, invading macrophages produce IGF-I and SC express the IGF-I receptor, to facilitate regeneration. This regenerative process may be augmented further by the ability of SC to secrete IGFBPs, which in turn may increase local IGF-I bioavailability. |
