Regulation of the production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II, IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), and their related proteins by various hormones was investigated in primary cultures of rat liver parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells. Freshly isolated parenchymal cells contained mRNAs of IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-4, growth hormone (GH) receptor, and the acid-labile subunit (ALS), which forms a ternary complex with IGF-I and IGFBP-3 ; however, parenchymal cells did not express the IGFBP-3 gene. In contrast, nonparenchymal cells contained IGFBP-3 mRNA exclusively, as we reported previously [Takenaka et al. Agric. Biol. Chem., 55, 1191-1193 (1991)]. Cultured rat parenchymal cells produced IGF-I, IGFBP-1, and IGFBP-4 prominently. In these cells, secretion of IGF-I and the content of IGF-I mRNA was greatly increased in the presence of GH in the medium. Insulin also increased the production of IGF-I. Secretion of IGFBP-1 into the medium was enhanced by treatment with glucagon, dibutyrylcyclic AMP (Bu_2cAMP), and dexamethasone (Dex) and these enhancements with glucagon and Dex reflected the increase in its mRNA content. Insulin depressed the secretion of IGFBP-1. The content of IGFBP-4 in the parenchymal cells was increased by insulin, Bu_2cAMP, and triiodothyronine (T_3), thereby enhancing the production of IGFBP-4 and secretion into the medium. Cultured liver nonparenchymal cells of rats produced IGFBP-1, IGFBP-3, and IGFBP-4. Secretion of IGFBP-1 was increased by Bu_2cAMP in the medium, that of IGFBP-3 by IGF-I, and that of IGFBP-4 by both IGF-I and Bu_2cAMP. Regulation of the production of IGFBP-3 by IGF-I was demonstrated in these investigations. These results suggest that GH increases production of IGF-I in the parenchymal cells and this IGF-I, in turn, increases the production of IGFBP-3 in nonparenchymal cells. As we found GH also increases ALS production in parenchymal cells, by these mechanisms, GH increases the formation of the ternary complex of IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and ALS. This study clearly demonstrates the interrelationship between parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells in the production of IGF-I and IGFBPs in the liver.
