title: Production of carrier proteins for insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by rat osteoblastic cells. Regulation by IGF I and cortisol.
abstract: A bone-derived rat cell line, PyMS, releases IGF I and IGF carrier proteins which are similar to those found in rat serum. Western blot analysis of culture media conditioned by hormone-treated cells shows that growth hormone and IGF I stimulate and cortisol inhibits production of IGF carrier proteins in vitro. A glycosylated carrier protein species of 49-42 kDa is closely related to the subunits of the growth hormone-dependent carrier protein complex found in rat serum. In addition, rhIGF I rapidly induces a 32 kDa, non-glycosylated IGF-binding protein whose accumulation is markedly increased by cortisol.
