title: Differential modulation of mitogenic and metabolic actions of insulin-like growth factor I in rat glomerular mesangial cells in high glucose culture.
abstract: In order to explore the possible contribution of insulin-like growth factor I to the development of diabetic nephropathy, the effect of glucose on the mitogenic and metabolic actions of insulin-like growth factor I in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells was examined. The stimulation of [3H]-thymidine incorporation by insulin-like growth factor I in the cells exposed to high concentrations (55 mmol/l) of glucose (4.6 +/- 1.3 fold stimulation) was significantly suppressed as compared with that in the cells cultured in 11 mmol/l glucose (17.5 +/- 0.8 fold). In contrast, [3H]-amino-isobutylic acid uptake into the mesangial cells was significantly enhanced by glucose (2.03 +/- 0.03 nmol.mg protein-1. 15 min-1 at 55 mmol/l glucose vs 0.59 +/- 0.01 at 11 mmol/l glucose), while 2-deoxyglucose uptake remained unchanged. [125I]-insulin-like growth factor I binding was slightly but significantly increased in the cells exposed to high concentrations of glucose. Thus, glucose may modulate the mitogenic and metabolic actions of insulin-like growth factor I differently in cultured mesangial cells probably at the post-insulin-like growth factor I receptor level. These results may indicate that the differential modulation of the actions of insulin-like growth factor I by glucose could result in the increase in amino acid uptake and decrease in the cell proliferation in the mesangial cells, possibly leading to enhanced mesangial matrix synthesis with a relatively small increase in mesangial cell volume as seen in diabetic nephropathy.
