Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) modulates the activity of IGF-I, which exerts antiapoptotic action upon the myocardiocyte. IGFBP-3 also exerts IGF-independent actions to inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis, mediating the effects of several antiproliferative agents. We hypothesized that IGFBP-3 mediates cardiomyocyte apoptosis. IGFBP-3 expression was studied in H9c2 rat cardiac cells cultured in serum-deprived medium in the absence or presence of 1 microM doxorubicin during a 72 h time-span. To a greater degree than serum withdrawal, doxorubicin induced IGFBP-3 up-regulation that was time-dependent. IGFBP-3 mRNA levels positively correlated with the degree of apoptosis. Exogenous IGFBP-3 decreased cell viability and induced apoptosis in serum-starved cells exposed to doxorubicin. IGFBP-3 antisense oligonucleotides markedly decreased apoptosis induced by either serum withdrawal or doxorubicin. Binding studies revealed specific high-affinity sites for IGFBP-3 in H9c2 cardiomyocytes, with binding characteristics typical of receptor-ligand interactions. These findings indicate that IGFBP-3 could play proapoptotic action at the myocardial level and suggest a novel role for this protein in cardiovascular dysfunction.
