To assess the autocrine function of insulin-like growth factor II
(IGF-II) in the balance of proliferation and differentiation in HT29-D4
human colonic cancer cells, we studied the expression of IGF-I
receptors (IGF-IR) and insulin receptors (IR) in relation to the state
of cell differentiation. IGF-IR and IR were expressed in both
undifferentiated and enterocyte-like differentiated HT29-D4 cells.
IGF-IR had two isoforms with a 97-kDa and a 102-kDa ß-subunit. In
addition, HT29-D4 cells expressed hybrid receptors (HR) formed by the
association of two
ß heterodimers from both IR and IGF-IR. HR were
evidenced through 1) inhibition of IGF-I binding by the B6 anti-IR
antibody and 2) immunoprecipitation with the
-IR3 anti-IGF-IR
antibody, which revealed an additional 95-kDa IR ß-subunit that
disappeared when the heterotetrameric receptor was dissociated by
disulfide reduction into
ß heterodimers before
immunoprecipitation. Like IGF-IR, HR had a high affinity for IGF-I
(Kd,
1.5 nM), but did not bind insulin
significantly; the latter interacted with the native IR only
(Kd,
4 nM). In the differentiated HT29-D4
cell monolayer, all receptor species were strongly polarized (>97%)
toward the basolateral membrane. Moreover, HT29-D4 cell differentiation
was accompanied by an approximately 2-fold increase in the number of
IR, whereas the number of IGF-I-binding sites was unaltered. However,
in differentiated HT29-D4 cells,
55% of the latter were involved in
HR vs.
20% in undifferentiated HT29-D4 cells. Thus,
HT29-D4 cell differentiation is characterized by an up-regulation
(
3-fold) of the level of HR coupled to a down-regulation (
40%)
of the level of native tetrameric IGF-IR. Alterations were induced
early during the cell differentiation process, i.e. 5
days postconfluence, and remained unchanged for at least 21 days. Taken
together, these results suggest that the IGF-II autocrine loop in
HT29-D4 cells may trigger distinct signaling pathways if it activates
native IGF-IR, which predominate in undifferentiated cells, or if it
activates HR, which are up-regulated in differentiated cells.
