Lifespan extension by reduction of the growth hormone‐insulin‐like growth factor‐1 axis: relation to caloric restriction

Abstract: A reduced growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 axis is associated with an extension of lifespan in laboratory rodents. Several phenotypes of such animal models resemble those induced by caloric restriction (CR). Using a transgenic male Wistar rat model whose GH-IGF-1 axis was moderately suppressed by overexpression of the antisense GH transgene (tg), we elucidated a relationship between the effects of a reduced GH-IGF-1 axis and CR for some biomarkers of aging, lifespan, and pathologies.

“…The GH/IGF-I and insulin system are also significantly altered following fasting and DR. However, differences in GH response and also in the degree of reduction in circulating IGF-I, IGFBP-3, insulin and in the increase of IGFBP-1 and insulin-sensitivity are evitable (Bartke and Turyn 2001;Bonkowski et al, 2009;Breese et al, 1991;Buschemeyer et al, 2010;Dunn et al, 1997;Escriva et al, 2007;Frystyk et al, 1999;Heijboer et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2010;Shimokawa et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2006;Zhao et al, 2010). Corticosteroids tend to increase more following fasting compared with DR (Sabatino et al, 1991;Shen et al, 2009); body temperature showed a steeper decrease following fasting compared with DR (Koizumi et al, 1992;Longo and Finch 2003a;Shen et al, 2009).…”

“…We do not dispute this but suggest that the changes in insulin signaling and sensitivity are secondary to the metabolic shift in these animals. Studies on long-lived transgenic mouse models indicate that the effects of DR are not fully explained by reduced growth hormone/IGF-1 axis activity [48][49][50][51].…”

“…SREBP‐1c is the primary isoform expressed in insulin‐sensitive tissues such as the liver, WAT, and muscle (Shimano, 2009). Because CR further extended lifespan of two long‐lived strains, Ames dwarf mice and heterozygous antisense GH transgenic rats (Bartke et al ., 2001; Shimokawa et al ., 2003), we examined the role of GH/IGF‐1 in CR‐associated gene expression profiles of WAT in a previous study. Our findings suggested that CR‐associated alterations of gene expression were highly regulated, in a GH/IGF‐1‐independent manner.…”
