Insulin-like growth factor inhibition of growth hormone secretion.
Somatomedins-insulin-like growth factors (SM/IGF) are growth hormone (GH) dependent serum growth factors. There is some evidence that IGF inhibit GH release (negative feedback) in 3- to 24-h incubations of cultured rat adenohypophysial cells. We have used acutely dispersed noncultured rat adenohypophysial cells to study the dynamics of IGF on GH secretion. In this system both IGF-I and IGF-II (100 ng/mL) slightly, but significantly, decrease the cumulative GH released by human pancreas growth hormone releasing factor 1-40 (GRF) and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methyl xanthine. The inhibition is small (16%) and usually not statistically significant until 2 h of incubation. The inhibition with IGF is additive to that produced with low concentrations of somatostatin. The IGF also significantly decrease the rate of GH release in all time periods tested (0-1, 1-2, 2-3 h). In addition, the IGF decrease the quantity of [14C]leucine protein eluted at the position of labelled rat GH on Sephadex G75, which would include newly synthesized GH extracted from the cells. Thus we conclude that the decreased GH released may be due to an effect of IGF on both rate of release and on GH synthesis.
