IGF-I and IGFBP-3 augment transforming growth factor-beta actions in human renal carcinoma cells.

Rosendahl, Ann LU and Forsberg, G (2006) In Kidney International 70(9). p.1584-1590
Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most prevalent cancer of the kidney. In human RCC cells, we recently showed that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) has growth-promoting effects regulated by IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3). In this study, the analysis was expanded to include the interaction between the IGF and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) systems in the human RCC cells Caki-2 (from a primary tumor) and SK-RC-52 (from a metastasis). Functional effects such as cell proliferation, TGF-beta receptor (T beta R) signaling, and IGFBP-3 levels were monitored after stimulation with various concentrations of IGF-I, TGF-beta, and IGFBP-3. In addition, human RCC tissues as well as experimental human RCC tumors were analyzed for... (More)
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most prevalent cancer of the kidney.

In this study, the analysis was expanded to include the interaction between the IGF and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) systems in the human RCC cells Caki-2 (from a primary tumor) and SK-RC-52 (from a metastasis). Functional effects such as cell proliferation, TGF-beta receptor (T beta R) signaling, and IGFBP-3 levels were monitored after stimulation with various concentrations of IGF-I, TGF-beta, and IGFBP-3. In addition, human RCC tissues as well as experimental human RCC tumors were analyzed for cellular expression of phosphorylated Smad2 by immunohistochemistry. TGF-beta regulated the endogenous IGFBP-3 levels in these RCC cells as neutralizing anti-TGF-beta(1-3) antibodies strongly reduced the basal IGFBP-3 level. In addition, IGF-I increased the IGFBP-3 levels five- to eightfold with TGF-beta acting in synergy to enhance the IGFBP-3 levels 12- to 17-fold. Neutralizing TGF-beta(1-3) activity circumvented the growth inhibitory effects of IGFBP-3 seen in SK-RC-52, whereas it inhibited the growth-promoting effects of IGFBP-3 in Caki-2. Moreover, IGF-I interacted directly with TGF-beta activation of the TbR complex by enhancing phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of Smad2. This study demonstrates a direct interaction of the IGF and TGF-beta systems in human renal carcinoma cells. The observations that IGF-I enhances the TGF-beta signaling and that TGF-beta promotes IGFBP-3 production and thus influence the biological activity of IGF may be of importance for future therapeutic options.
