PG - 201-7 AB - Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is essential for normal epidermal homeostasis; however, the role of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), regulators of IGF action, remains unclear. Here we examine the regulation of human keratinocyte-produced IGFBPs by epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFbeta1), and IGF-I, growth factors known to be active in skin. In the absence of added growth factors, IGFBP-3 was the major binding protein secreted into the medium by primary keratinocytes. Addition of EGF or TGFbeta1 to keratinocyte cultures resulted in a significant decrease in IGFBP-3 abundance in conditioned medium when compared with control, untreated cells. Specifically, EGF (50 ng/ml) and TGFbeta1 (50 ng/ml) reduced IGFBP-3 abundance to 15+/-6% and 22+/-9%, respectively. Using Northern blot analysis, we found EGF and TGFbeta1 (50 ng/ml) to reduce IGFBP-3 mRNA levels in keratinocytes to 51+/-12% and 50+/-38%, respectively, when compared with control, untreated cells. Treatment with IGF-I or its analogue des(1-3)IGF-I did not lead to any consistent change in IGFBP-3 abundance. However, both IGF-I and des(1-3)IGF-I at 100 ng/ml led to a modest increase in IGFBP-3 mRNA levels in keratinocytes, suggesting posttranscriptional regulation of IGFBP-3 abundance. We propose that local modulation of IGFBP-3 abundance may represent another level of regulation of growth factor action in the epidermis, where EGF and TGFbeta1 and possibly other local growth factors specifically regulate the availability of IGF-I to its keratinocyte receptors.
