Abstract
The ability of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) to modulate apoptosis was studied in murine osteoblasts. At 72 h of culture, 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 nM IGF-II produced a dose-dependent increase in apoptosis assayed by TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) and confirmed with acridine orange-ethidium bromide staining. A maximal increase of 5.0-fold above control was found with 1 nM IGF-II. A time course of treatment with 0.1 nM IGF-II demonstrated a significant increase in apoptosis compared to vehicle-treated cells by 48 h. IGF-II-induced apoptosis could not be inhibited by a blocking antibody to the IGF-I receptor. Human osteoblast cultures demonstrated a similar dose-dependent increase in apoptosis with IGF-II. No significant effect of IGF-II was found on proliferation in murine osteoblast cultures. Western blot analysis demonstrated that IGF-II decreased Bcl-2 protein levels, but not Bax, resulting in a significant reduction in the Bcl-2/Bax ratio. To determine if overexpression of Bcl-2 could block IGF-II-induced apoptosis, osteoblasts were isolated from a transgenic mouse that overexpresses human Bcl-2 in bone through a construct utilizing the 2.3 kb promoter region of the Type I collagen gene linked to a 1.8 ...Continue Reading
