摘要
Background/Aim: The E peptide of the IGF-1Ec transcript has been documented to stimulate the growth of different cell lines, via a type 1 IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R)-independent mechanism. The aim of the present study was to determine the implication of the IGF-1Ec isoform into the posterior capsule pacification process in human lens epithelium. Materials and Methods: The expression of the IGF-1 system was characterized in human HLE-B3 lens epithelium cells and the mitogenic activity of IGF-1 and synthetic E peptide and the effects of growth hormone (GH) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were examined, using qualitative real-time PCR, RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and trypan blue exclusion assays in wild-type and IGF-1R knockout HLE-B3 cells. Results: The data showed that HLE-B3 cells express only the IGF-1Ea and IGF-1R transcripts. GH increased the expression of IGF-1 Ea and of the previously undetectable IGF-1Eb mRNA. Finally, IGF-1 did not present any activity in the knock-out cells. Conclusion: The IGF-1Ea isoform is the main source for the formation of mature IGF-1 in HLE-B3 cells. The effects of exogenous IGF-1 depend on the existence of IGF-1R. IGF-1 Ec is not expressed even in the presence of GH or DHT nor has it any effect on cell proliferation.
