BACKGROUND: Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (rhIGF-I) accelerates recovery from acute renal failure (ARF) in rats. IGF-I acts through the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) and its actions may be modified by IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBPs). It therefore would be of value to determine the effects of both ARF and rhIGF-I treatment on serum IGFBPs and mRNA for IGFBPs and IGF-IR. METHODS: Rats with ARF and sham-operated control rats were randomized to receive rhIGF-I or vehicle injections thrice daily for 72 to 74 hours starting five hours after surgery. Serum IGFPBs 1 to 6 were measured serially, and mRNA for IGFBPs 1 to 6 and for IGF-IR were measured in several tissues obtained 72 to 74 hours after surgery. RESULTS: At 72 to 74 hours, serum IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2 levels were higher in rhIGF-I treated rats. Serum IGFBP-3 was affected by both ARF and rhIGF-I. IGFBP-4 rose transiently only in ARF groups. At 72 to 74 hours, mRNA for several IGFBPs was reduced in renal cortex of ARF rats. Low mRNA for IGFBP-4 and -6 was observed in renal medulla of the ARF rats, particularly in comparison to the sham-operated rats receiving vehicle. Renal medullary IGFBP-2 mRNA was decreased in ARF and sham rats given rhIGF-I as compared to sham animals given vehicle. Hepatic IGFBP-2 mRNA was higher in both rhIGF-I treated groups versus those given vehicle. Otherwise, there were no differences in IGFBP mRNAs among the four groups in lung, heart, and skeletal muscle. IGF-IR mRNA was decreased in renal cortex and medulla of both ARF groups and was not detected in liver in any group. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, ARF and rhIGF-I treatment each affected certain serum IGFBPs and jointly affected some IGFBPs. ARF suppressed gene transcription for renal cortical and medullary IGF-IR and some IGFBPs. rhIGF-I independently affected some renal cortical or medullary IGFBP mRNAs. rhIGF-I increased hepatic IGFBP-2 mRNA and serum IGFBP-2. These effects of ARF or rhIGF-I may influence rhIGF-I actions in rats with ischemic ARF.
