摘要
In the present work we have investigated activation of phosphorylation of plasma membrane insulin-like growth factor-I receptors (IGF-IR) by diethylstilbestrol (DES), Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) stimulated the activity of membrane protein tyrosine kinase(s) (PTK) in both normal and DES-treated hamster kidneys. The level of IGF-I-stimulated PTK(s) almost doubled after 15 days of DES treatment. Autophosphorylation experiments revealed that phosphorylation of a 95 kDa band (presumably the beta subunit of IGF-IR) was 2-fold higher in the membranes of kidney from DES-treated animals compared with controls. To understand the mechanism of activation of IGF-I-dependent PTK by DES, we investigated the relationship between the binding capacity of IGF-I to membrane proteins and the level of IGF-IR. The binding of [I-125]IGF-I to membranes from the DES-treated group was 30 % higher than that of age-matched normal kidney (P < 0.001). Scatchard analysis of the binding data for both normal and DES-treated hamster kidney revealed a single class binding site for IGF-I with a dissociation constant (K-d) of 4.1 and 4.6 nM and a maximum binding capacity (B-max) of 1786 and 2086 fmol/200 mu g protein respectively. Therefore, the difference observed in [I-125]IGF-I binding between DES-treated and normal kidney membranes may be partially due to an increase in the number of IGF-I binding sites, with no change in the affinity of the receptors for IGF-I. An enhanced level of IGF-IRs in membranes from DES-treated animals was visualized by autoradiography following affinity labeling of membrane proteins subjected to sos-PAGE, Under reducing conditions a molecular band of 132 kDa was evident. The 132 kDa band represents the a-subunit of IGF-IRs. Northern blot analyses revealed that DES treatment increased the level of IGF-IR mRNA 2-fold compared with that of controls. These findings suggest that an enhanced level of IGF-IR coupled with qualitative changes may be responsible for the activation of IGF-I-dependent PTK on DES exposure. Whether the stimulation of IGF-IR phosphorylation by exposure to a carcinogenic dose of DES may be a factor in the induction of renal cancer in Syrian hamsters is not clear.
