| Research Abstract |
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is an important anabolic factor for cartilage tissue and its action is in part regulated by IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). The object of this study was to investigate the effects of IGFBPs on IGF-I action and on binding of IGF-I to cells using a reproducible immortalized human chondrocyte culture model. Treatment of the C-28/I2 cells with IGF-I or des (1-3 ) IGF-I in serum-free medium stimulated cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. However, the effect of des (1-3) IGF-I was more potent, thereby suggesting that endogenously produced IGFBPs inhibited IGF action. The stimulatory effect of IGF-I was inhibited significantly by addition of IGFBP-3. Binding of [125I] IGF-I to the cells was displaced by IGFBP-3. Our findings indicate that the balance between IGFBPs, IGF receptor binding and its action on chondrocyte proliferation may modulate cartilage tissue repair.
