Insulin like growth factor I hormonal regulation by growth hormone and by 1,25(OH)2D3 and activity on human osteoblast-like cells in short-term cultures.
IGF-1 has been shown to be locally produced in several tissues and to play a role in the regulation of cellular activity. We have investigated its production in short-term cultures of human bone derived cells, and the regulation of this production by growth hormone (GH) and by 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). Bone cells obtained from surgical bone biopsies produced and secreted IGF-1 in their culture media. In four days cultures of bone-derived cells recombinant human r-IGF-1 at 20 ng/mL increased the alkaline phosphatase activity and the osteocalcin (bone gla protein) secretion, two specific markers of bone formation. This stimulation occurred only in the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3. Human bone cells exposed to GH increased their alkaline phosphatase activity, but no osteocalcin was detectable. However, in the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3 (1 nM), GH in concentrations of 8 to 40 nM increased by 30-50% the alkaline phosphatase activity and by 50 to 100% the osteocalcin secretion of human bone cells. At the same concentrations, GH also increased by 140% endogenous IGF-1 levels in cell culture supernatants, 1,25(OH)2D3 (10 nM) also increased time- and dose-dependently, IGF-1 levels in human bone cell supernatants, and stimulated dose-dependently alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin secretion. It is therefore suggested that by regulating local production of growth factors such as IGF-1, GH and 1,25(OH)2D3 may modulate the metabolism of human bone cells.
