“…However we used a serum:IGFBP-1 ratio that was more than 20-fold less than that in the circulation, suggesting that such changes would need to be at least of that magnitude. Similarly, IGFBP-3 proteases are inhibited by serum inhibitors [27] and it has been proposed that specific degradation of IGFBP-3 [28] and IGFBP-4 [29] occur at the tissue level to increase local IGF action. Azurocidin is mobilized from neutrophil secretory granules in response to inflammation [30].…”

“…The basic sequence 215-232 of IGFBP-3, close to the identified cleavage site, contains heparin, ALS and IGF-I binding sites as well as a nuclear localization site [22]. Interestingly, heparin has been reported to modulate IGFBP-3 proteolysis in pregnancy serum [19] as well as in non-pregnancy serum [33]. Durham et al [34] demonstrated that prekallekrein degrades IGFBP-3 and that a peptide identical to the heparin-binding domain of IGFBP-3 inhibits IGFBP-3 binding to the protease.…”

“…The former assumption is supported by the detection of the nonrelated protease inhibitor antithrombin III in the eluate, which might contain other natural serine protease inhibitors. On the other hand, Holly and collaborators (37,38) have provided evidence for the presence of components protecting IGFBP-3 in normal serum from proteolysis. Their data suggest that the accessibility of the C-terminal basic heparin-binding domain of IGFBP-3 is necessary for proteolysis or for binding of an inhibitor.…”
