title: Characterization and function of the receptor for IGF-I in human preosteoclastic cells.
abstract: Using a coculture system, we have recently demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a mediator of preosteoclastic cell migration toward bone-derived endothelial cells. To better characterize the mechanisms of IGF-I action on preosteoclastic cells we evaluated the expression of type I IGFs receptor in the human leukemic cell line, FLG 29.1, which differentiates toward the osteoclastic phenotype following phorbol ester (TPA) treatment. Scatchard analysis of 125I-labeled IGF-I to FLG 29.1 cells revealed the presence of a single high affinity binding site in both untreated and TPA-treated cells with a similar Kd value (0.3 +/- 0.2 nmol/L and 0.4 +/- 0.1 nmol/L, respectively). In untreated cells, IGF-I binding capacity (1.43 +/- 0.41 fmol/10(6) cells) was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than in TPA-treated cells (2.62 +/- 0.87 fmol/10(6) cells). Competition analyses and crosslinking studies revealed the presence of type I IGF receptor both in untreated and TPA-treated cells. Northern analysis demonstrated that mRNA for IGF-I receptor was expressed by both untreated and TPA-treated FLG 29.1 cells. In addition, FLG 29.1 cells released in the conditioned medium IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-4, whose expression was increased by TPA treatment as demonstrated by ligand and immunoblot analyses. The previous observations of chemotactic action of IGF-I on FLG 29.1 cells was confirmed by ultrastructural observations. Indeed, these cells revealed a marked migratory activity in response to nanomolar concentrations of IGF-I. In addition, the IGF-I receptor alpha IR-3 antiserum inhibited the IGF-I-induced FLG 29.1 cell's migratory activity. These findings clearly show that type IIGF receptor is expressed by osteoclast precursors and that IGF-I induces migration of these through the binding to type I IGF receptors. Binding proteins expressed by osteoclast precursors may play an autocrine role in modulating the IGF-I bioeffects.
