  • Title: Distinct receptors for IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin are present on bovine capillary endothelial cells and large vessel endothelial cells.
    Author: Bar RS, Boes M.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1984 Oct 15; 124(1):203-9. PubMed ID: 6093785.
    Abstract:
    Endothelial cells were cultured from bovine fat capillaries, aortae and pulmonary arteries and their interactions with 125I-IGF-I, 125I-MSA (an IGF-II), 125I-insulin and the corresponding unlabeled hormones were evaluated. Each endothelial culture showed similar binding parameters. With 125I-insulin, unlabeled insulin competed with high affinity while IGF-I and MSA were approximately 1% as potent. With 125I-MSA, MSA was greater than or equal to IGF-I in potency and insulin did not compete for binding. Using 125I-IGF-I, IGF-I was greater than or equal to MSA whereas insulin decreased 125I-IGF-I binding by up to 72%. Exposing cells to anti-insulin receptor antibodies inhibited 125I-insulin binding by greater than 90%, did not change 125I-MSA binding, while 125I-IGF-I binding was decreased by 30-44%, suggesting overlapping antigenic determinants between IGF-I and insulin receptors that were not present on MSA receptors. We conclude that cultured capillary and large vessel endothelial cells have distinct receptors for insulin, IGF-I and MSA (IGF-II).
