Abstract
We recently demonstrated that interferon (IFN)-beta has a more potent antitumor activity than IFN-alpha in BON cells, a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cell line. The present study showed the role of type I IFNs in the modulation of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system in NETs. BON cells expressed IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-I receptor, and insulin receptor mRNA. In addition, IGF-I and IGF-II stimulated the proliferation of BON cells and induced an inhibition of DNA fragmentation (apoptosis). As evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR, treatment with IFN-alpha (100 IU/ml) or IFN-beta (100 IU/ml) inhibited the expression of IGF-II mRNA (-42% and -65%, respectively, both P < 0.001), whereas IGF-I receptor mRNA was significantly upregulated by IFN-alpha (+28%, P < 0.001) and downregulated by IFN-beta (-47%, P < 0.001). Immunoreactive IGF-II concentration decreased in the conditioned medium during IFN-alpha (-16%, P < 0.05) and IFN-beta (-69%, P < 0.001) treatment. Additionally, IGF-I receptor bioactivity was reduced (-54%) after IFN-beta treatment. Scatchard analysis of (125)I-labeled IGF-I binding to cell membrane of BON cells revealed a dramatic suppression of maximum binding capacity only in the presence of IFN-beta. Finally, the proapoptoti...Continue Reading
