Sex-specific regulation of body size and bone slenderness by the acid labile subunit

Abstract: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a crucial mediator of body size and bone mass during growth and development. In serum, IGF-1 is stabilized by several IGF-1 binding proteins (IGFBPs) and the acid labile subunit (ALS). Previous research using ALS knockout (ALSKO) mice indicated a growth retardation phenotype and clinical reports of humans have indicated short stature and low bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with ALS deficiency. To determine the temporal and sex-specific effects of ALS deficiency on… Show more

“…Lack of ternary complex formation due to ALS deletion was associated with increased adipogenesis from bone marrowderived mesenchymal stromal cells in culture, whereas recombinant ALS inhibited adipogenesis (43). Although ALS-deficient mice had normal body composition and insulin sensitivity (45), humans with ALS deficits are insulinresistant (46,47) and may be obese (47). Therefore, the lack of ternary complex formation of the mutant hIGFBP-3 could explain adiposity and insulin resistance in PGKmutBP3 mice.…”

“…Data from experimental animals provide stronger evidence for this relationship. Genetically modified animals that do not make IGF-I in the liver have significantly reduced cortical bone volume, periosteal circumference, and cross-sectional area [50, 51]. Thus, in vivo animal models demonstrate that systemic IGF-I is necessary for bone modeling (net gain) and mineralization [52].…”

“…Whether a low bone mineralization is due to ALS deficiency per se or delayed bone maturation or a genetic background deserves further investigation. In favor of a role of ALS deficiency in contributing to a lower bone mineral density is the decreased bone mineral density reported in the Igfals knockout mice, where the decrease is likely due to the low IGF-I concentrations [23]. …”
