Regulation by GH of insulin-like growth factor-I mRNA expression in rat epiphyseal growth plate as studied with in-situ hybridization

Abstract: Expression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) mRNA and its dependence on GH was studied in rat epiphyseal growth plate by in-situ hybridization. Methodological aspects of the technique were first evaluated on fixed sagittal cryosections from 28-day-old rat epiphyseal growth plates to ascertain specific hybridization. In-situ hybridization was compared on sections from 10- and 28-day-old rats and the GH-dependence was studied in 35-day-old hypophysectomized rats. Expression of IGF-I mRNA was apparent in ch… Show more

“…Until now, there have been conflicting reports whether both the IGFs are expressed in the postnatal epiphyseal growth plate. Expression of IGF-I was shown in the rat epiphyseal growth plate (P10, P28, P35) (Nilsson et al 1990, Reinecke et al 2000 and costochondral growth plate (Lin & Oberbauer 1999). In contrast, Wang et al (1995) detected only IGF-II in murine growth plates (P25) and Shinar et al (1993) reported similar results in rat growth plates (P10-P35).…”

“…Although species differences and age variables will influence the observed expression signals, the conflicting data are more likely caused by the detection method used. In previous studies (Nilsson et al 1990, Shinar et al 1993, Wang et al 1995, in which radioactive in situ hybridization was used, less clear expression of IGF-I and IGF-II was found. This was confirmed by Reinecke et al (2000), who also showed a better visible signal of IGF-I expression using non-radioactive in situ hybridization than that shown previously by the radioactive method (Nilsson et al 1990).…”

“…IGF-I is expressed by proliferating chondrocytes and osteoblasts within the growth plate as well as osteophyte [26,28]. It has an anabolic effect on cell proliferation and synthesis of collagen or matrix proteins in chondrocytes as well as in osteoblasts [13,24,32,36].…”

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that a steady or daily growth factor action would be advantageous [35][36][37][38] and that 10 ng/mL IGF-1 is sufficient to stimulate the proliferative and metabolic activity of chondrocytes cultured in vitro, 39 while proteoglycan production is at a maximum with 100 ng/mL IGF-1. 40 The addition of IGF-1 to explants and monolayer cultures at concentrations of 10-200 ng/mL increased collagen type II and DNA synthesis and inhibited proteoglycan degradation, 41 whereas 200 ng/mL also inhibited chondrocyte apoptosis in vitro.…”
