    Abstract:
    IGF-I stimulates both proliferation and differentiation of adipocyte-precursor cells, preadipocytes in vivo and in vitro. We have previously shown that IGF-I stimulates proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through activation of MAPK and MAPK activation by IGF-I is mediated through the Src family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. In addition, we have shown that when 3T3-L1 cells reach growth arrest and are stimulated to differentiate, IGF-I can no longer activate the MAPK pathway. We hypothesized that the loss of IGF-I signaling to MAPK in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells is due to loss of IGF-I activation of Src family kinases. We measured c-Src kinase activity in cell lysates from proliferating, growth-arrested and differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. Src activity increased 2- to 4-fold in IGF-I-stimulated proliferating cells; however, IGF-I had a marginal affect on Src activity in growth-arrested cells and inhibited Src activity localized at the membrane in differentiating cells. C-terminal Src kinase (CSK), a ubiquitously expressed nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, negatively regulates the Src family kinases by phosphorylation of the Src C-terminal tyrosine. IGF-I decreased phosphorylation of the Src C-terminal tyrosine in proliferating cells and increased phosphorylation of this site in differentiating cells. IGF-I stimulated CSK kinase activity 2-fold in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. An association between CSK and c-Src was detected by immunoprecipitation following IGF-I stimulation of differentiating but not proliferating 3T3-L1 cells. These results suggest that the loss of IGF-I downstream mitogenic signaling in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells is due to a change in IGF-I activation of c-Src and CSK may mediate the inactivation of c-Src by IGF-I in 3T3-L1 adipogenesis.
