    Abstract:
    In the heart, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a pro-hypertrophic and anti-apoptotic peptide. In cultured rat cardiomyocytes, IGF-1 induced a fast and transient increase in Ca(2+)(i) levels apparent both in the nucleus and cytosol, releasing this ion from intracellular stores through an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-dependent signaling pathway. Intracellular IP(3) levels increased after IGF-1 stimulation in both the presence and absence of extracellular Ca(2+). A different spatial distribution of IP(3) receptor isoforms in cardiomyocytes was found. Ryanodine did not prevent the IGF-1-induced increase of Ca(2+)(i) levels but inhibited the basal and spontaneous Ca(2+)(i) oscillations observed when cardiac myocytes were incubated in Ca(2+)-containing resting media. Spatial analysis of fluorescence images of IGF-1-stimulated cardiomyocytes incubated in Ca(2+)-containing resting media showed an early increase in Ca(2+)(i), initially localized in the nucleus. Calcium imaging suggested that part of the Ca(2+) released by stimulation with IGF-1 was initially contained in the perinuclear region. The IGF-1-induced increase on Ca(2+)(i) levels was prevented by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid-AM, thapsigargin, xestospongin C, 2-aminoethoxy diphenyl borate, U-73122, pertussis toxin, and betaARKct (a peptide inhibitor of Gbetagamma signaling). Pertussis toxin also prevented the IGF-1-dependent IP(3) mass increase. Genistein treatment largely decreased the IGF-1-induced changes in both Ca(2+)(i) and IP(3). LY29402 (but not PD98059) also prevented the IGF-1-dependent Ca(2+)(i) increase. Both pertussis toxin and U73122 prevented the IGF-1-dependent induction of both ERKs and protein kinase B. We conclude that IGF-1 increases Ca(2+)(i) levels in cultured cardiac myocytes through a Gbetagamma subunit of a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein-PI3K-phospholipase C signaling pathway that involves participation of IP(3).
