Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic diseases implicated in the development of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Although FDA has recently approved a drug against ADPKD, there is still a great need for development of alternative management strategies for ADPKD. Understanding the different mechanisms that lead to cystogenesis and cyst expansion in ADPKD is imperative to develop new therapies against ADPKD. Recently, we demonstrated that caloric restriction can prevent the development of cystic disease in animal models of ADPKD and through these studies identified a new role for pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), a component of the insulin-like growth factors (IGF) pathway, in the pathogenesis of this disease. The PAPP-A-IGF pathway plays an important role in regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and transformation and dysregulation of this pathway has been implicated in many diseases. Several indirect studies support the involvement of IGF-1 in the pathogenesis of ADPKD. However, it was only recently that we described a direct role for a component of this pathway in pathogenesis of ADPKD, opening a new avenue for the therapeutic approaches for this cystic disease. The present literature review will critically discuss the evidence that supports the role of components of IGF pathway in the pathogenesis of ADPKD and discuss the pharmacological implications of PAPP-A-IGF axis in this disease.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are essential for growth and survival that suppress apoptosis and promote cell cycle progression, angiogenesis, and metastatic activities in various cancers. The IGFs actions are mediated through the IGF-1 receptor that is involved in cell transformation induced by tumour. These effects depend on the bioavailability of IGFs, which is regulated by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). We describe here the role of the IGF system in cancer, proposing new strategies targeting this system. We have attempted to expand the general viewpoint on IGF-1R, its inhibitors, potential limitations of IGF-1R, antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and IGFBP actions. This review discusses the emerging view that blocking IGF via IGFBP is a better option than blocking IGF receptors. This can lead to the development of novel cancer therapies.

Abstract
ADAM12 belongs to the A disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) family of secreted sheddases activating extracellular growth factors such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). ADAM proteases, most notably ADAM17 (TNF-α-converting enzyme), have long been investigated as pharmaceutical drug targets; however, due to lack of potency and in vivo side effects, none of the small-molecule inhibitors discovered so far has made it beyond clinical testing. Ongoing research on novel selective inhibitors of ADAMs requires reliable biochemical assays to validate molecular probes from large-scale screening efforts. Here we describe an electrophoretic mobility shift assay for ADAM12 based on the identification of an optimized peptide substrate that is characterized by excellent performance and reproducibility.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I has been recognized to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of asthma, whereas IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 blocks crucial physiologic manifestations of asthma. IGF-I enhances subepithelial fibrosis, airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway smooth muscle hyperplasia by interacting with various inflammatory mediators and complex signaling pathways, such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and the hypoxia-inducible factor/vascular endothelial growth factor axis. On the other hand, IGFBP-3 decreases airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness through IGFBP-3 receptor-mediated activation of caspases, which subsequently inhibits NF-κB signaling pathway. It also inhibits the IGF-I/hypoxia-inducible factor/vascular endothelial growth factor axis via IGF-I-dependent and/or IGF-I-independent mechanisms. This Translational Review summarizes the role of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in the context of allergic airway disease, and discusses the therapeutic potential of various strategies targeting the IGF-I and IGFBP-3 signaling pathways for the management of asthma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cleavage of IGFBPs by proteases results in IGFBP fragments that have altered IGF-binding affinity, and IGF-independent roles. We have previously purified a specific IGFBP-1 protease activity from the urine of an individual with multiple myeloma and dermatitis. The aim of this study was to determine whether IGFBP-1 protease activity and/or IGFBP-1 fragments were present in the circulation of this patient. METHODS The size of immunoreactive IGFBP-1 in serum samples was determined after Superose 12 chromatography. Intact IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-1 fragments were characterized in four RIAs and after SDS-PAGE. RESULTS Specific proteolysis of IGFBP-1 generated an N-terminal fragment (IGFBP-1(1-130)) with a predicted molecular mass of 13kDa but an apparent mass of 21kDa on SDS-PAGE. A C-terminal fragment (IGFBP-1(131-234)) produced in vitro migrated at 11.4kDa, close to its predicted size. However a C-terminal fragment of cleaved IGFBP-1 (IGFBP-1(142-234)) migrated at 14kDa on SDS-PAGE. Serum from the patient inhibited IGFBP-1 protease activity. Immunoreactive IGFBP-1 in patient serum was present at molecular masses consistent with IGFBP-1 fragments, in addition to intact IGFBP-1. CONCLUSIONS Specific cleavage of IGFBP-1 occurs at the tissue level and not in the circulation in a patient with multiple myeloma and dermatitis. The fragments that are generated may have endocrine roles.

Abstract
The IGF system plays critical roles in somatic growth in an endocrine fashion (somatomedin hypothesis) as well as proliferation and differentiation of normal and malignant cells in a paracrine/autocrine fashion. IGFBP-3 is known to modulate the actions of IGFs in circulation as well as the immediate extracellular environment. Interestingly, apart from the ability to inhibit or enhance IGF actions, IGFBP-3 also exhibits very clear, distinct biological effects independent of the IGF/IGF-I receptor axis. Over the past decade it has become widely appreciated that IGF/IGF-IR-independent actions of IGFBP-3 (antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects) contribute to improving the pathophysiology of a variety of human diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and malnutrition. Recent studies have implicated interaction of IGFBP-3 with a variety of proteins or signaling cascades critical to cell cycle control and apoptosis; however, the actual mechanism of IGFBP-3 action is still unclear. This review reinforces the concept in support of the IGF/IGF-IR axis-independent actions of IGFBP-3 and delineates potential underlying mechanisms involved and subsequent biological significance, focusing in particular on functional binding partners and the clinical significance of IGFBP-3 in the assessment of cancer risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) can induce apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells by direct, IGF-independent mechanisms that are poorly understood. IGFBP-3 undergoes limited proteolysis by plasmin and other proteases to generate small N-terminal fragments (e.g., amino acids 1-97) that have lost their affinity for IGF-I and IGF-II yet still can inhibit mitogenesis. The present study examines whether the N-terminal 1-97-IGFBP-3 fragment can induce apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells in an IGF-independent manner. DESIGN N-terminal 1-97-IGFBP-3 with or without a signal prepeptide was fused to yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) and expressed in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. In some cases, the N-terminal IGF-binding site was mutated. Subcellular localization was determined by confocal microscopy. Loss of cell viability was determined by Annexin V-APC staining in the presence and absence of a general caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-fmk. RESULTS All of the fusion proteins, including those synthesized with a signal peptide, were predominantly intracellular, suggesting that they had been internalized following secretion. YFP-1-97-IGFBP-3 is present at comparable concentrations in the nucleus and cytoplasm, indicating that it does not contain a nuclear localization signal. Cells transfected with YFP-1-97-IGFBP-3 lost viability. Cell death was blocked by incubation with a caspase inhibitor suggesting that it resulted from apoptosis. Similar results were obtained with YFP-1-97-IGFBP-3 mutants that do not bind IGFs. CONCLUSIONS The N-terminal 1-97-IGFBP-3 fragment induces apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells in an IGF-independent manner. Generation of the fragment might contribute to the proapoptotic activity of IGFBP-3 in vivo.

Abstract
The identification of molecular determinants involved in the promotion of metastasis and development of androgen insensitive prostate cancer (AI-PCa) is necessary to discriminate aggressive from indolent disease and to identify therapeutic targets for advanced disease. Overexpression of one particular member of the insulin like growth factor (IGF) axis, IGFBP-2, is implicated in the development of AI-PCa and other cancers. Using the LNCaP human PCa progression model, we show that the AI and metastatic prostate cancer cell line C4-2B4 expresses greater amounts of secreted IGFBP-2 than the androgen sensitive (AS), non-metastatic LNCaP progenitor cell line. Further, the ability of androgens to decrease extracellular IGFBP-2 levels is attenuated in the AI and metastatic C4-2 cell line. The ability of androgen to negatively regulate extracellular IGFBP-2 levels was blocked by Casodex in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanism underlying the androgen-induced downregulation of secreted IGFBP-2 appears to involve extracellular proteolysis, resulting in the production of IGFBP-2 fragments lacking the ability to bind IGF-I and IGF-II. As C4-2 cells have an attenuated ability to proteolyze IGFBP-2 in response to androgen and C4-2B4 cells express greater amounts of IGFBP-2, our data implies that the diminished regulation of IGFBP-2 and loss of associated proteolytic fragments play a role in the increased metastatic behavior of these cells in vivo. Furthermore, our results suggest that either increased levels of intact IGFBP-2 or decreased levels of IGFBP-2 proteolytic fragments could serve as a biomarker to monitor for progression to AI-PCa.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-related protein 1 (IGFBP-rP1) has been shown to induce cellular senescence or apoptosis of breast and prostate cancer cell lines in vitro. To examine whether IGFBP-rP1 acts as a tumor-suppressive protein in vivo, we established two model systems. Expression of IGFBP-rP1 in the human bladder carcinoma cell line EJ-1 was blocked by RNA interference. Human colon cancer cell line DLD-1, which did not express endogenous IGFBP-rP1, was transfected with an IGFBP-rP1 expression vector. When injected intraperitoneally or subcutaneously into nude mice, the IGFBP-rP1-expressing EJ-1 and DLD-1 cell lines grew poorly, whereas the IGFBP-rP1 non-producers grew rapidly and produced large tumors. In monolayer culture the IGFBP-rP1 producers and non-producers grew similarly in each model, whereas in soft agar culture the former produced far less colonies than the latter. The IGFBP-rP1 producers had IGFBP-rP1 bound to the cell surface, and adhered more efficiently to fibronectin and laminin-5 than the respective non-producers. Expression of IGFBP-rP1 did not affect the efficiency of insulin signaling. These results demonstrate that IGFBP-rP1 strongly suppresses tumor growth by an insulin-independent or insulin-like growth factor-independent mechanism. Cell surface IGFBP-rP1 may reduce the anchorage-independent growth ability, leading to the marked loss of tumorigenicity.

Abstract
IGFBPs regulate growth and development by regulating IGF transport to tissues and IGF bioavailability to IGF receptors at cell membrane level. IGFBP excess leads predominantly to inhibition of IGF action and growth retardation with impaired organogenesis. Absence of human and also mouse ALS leads to decreased IGF-I levels in circulation and causes mild growth retardation. Although IGFBP KO mice demonstrate relatively minor phenotypes, the possibility of compensatory mechanisms that mask the phenotypic manifestation of lack of individual binding proteins needs to be further investigated. Recent studies of hepatic regeneration in IGFBP-1 KO mice and also with mutant IGFBP-3 Tg mice provide some limited support for the existence of IGF-independent mechanism of action in vivo.

Abstract
Calpains are non-lysosomal, Ca 2+ -dependent cysteine proteases, which are ubiquitously distributed across cell types and vertebrate species. The rules that govern calpain specificity have not yet been determined. To elucidate the cleavage pattern of calpains, we carried out calpain-induced proteolytic studies on the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins IGFBP-4 and -5. Proteolysis of IGFBPs is well characterized in numerous reports. Our results show that calpain cleavage sites are in the non-conserved unstructured regions of the IGFBPs. Compilation of the calpain-induced proteolytic cleavage sites in several proteins reported in the literature, together with our present study, has not revealed clear preferences for amino acid sequences. We therefore conclude that calpains seem not to recognize amino acid sequences, but instead cleave with low sequence specificity at unstructured or solvent-exposed fragments that connect folded, stable domains of target proteins.

Abstract
ADAM28, a member of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family, has two isoforms, membrane-type form (ADAM28m) and secreted form (ADAM28s). Although ADAM28 is expressed and synthesized in a precursor form (proADAM28) by lymphocytes and some cancer cells, its activation mechanism and substrates remain unclear. Here, we report that proADAM28s of 65kDa is processed with active matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) to 42- and 40-kDa forms which corresponds to active ADAM28s without propeptide. Processed ADAM28s digested insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in both free and complex forms with IGF-I or IGF-II, and the digestion was prevented with EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline, KB-R7785, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3), and TIMP-4. These data provide the first evidence that proADAM28s is activated by MMP-7 and ADAM28 digests IGFBP-3.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 has been shown to potently inhibit cell proliferation in various cell systems. However, the specific mechanisms involved in the antiproliferative action of IGFBP-3 have yet to be elucidated. In the present study, we demonstrate that IGFBP-3 induces apoptosis in an insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-independent manner through the activation of caspases involved in a death receptor-mediated pathway in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Induction of IGFBP-3 using an ecdysone-inducible expression system inhibited DNA synthesis in an IGF-IGF receptor axis-independent fashion and resulted in the subsequent induction of apoptosis and an increase in caspase activity. Similar results were obtained when cells were transfected with GGG-IGFBP-3, an IGFBP-3 mutant unable to bind IGFs, corroborating the IGF-independent action of IGFBP-3. Additional caspase activity studies and immunoblot analyses using specific caspase substrates and/or caspase inhibitors revealed that the growth-inhibitory effect of IGFBP-3 results mainly from its induction of apoptosis (in particular, activation of caspase-8 and -7). Analyses of caspase-9 activity and release of cytochrome c into the cytosol confirmed that the mitochondria-mediated pathway is not involved. Taken together, these results show that IGFBP-3 expression leads to the induction of apoptosis through the activation of caspases involved in a death receptor-mediated pathway and that IGFBP-3 functions as a negative regulator of breast cancer cell growth, independent of the IGF-IGF receptor axis.

Abstract
High-affinity interactions between insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) and insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBP-1, -2, -3, -4, -5 and -6) antagonize the binding of IGF to the type 1 IGF receptor. Proteases found in a variety of biological fluids can degrade IGFBP 1-6 into fragments that have a greatly reduced affinity for IGF-I and IGF-II, increasing the concentration of free IGFs at the cell surface and allowing IGFs to bind to and activate the IGF receptor. Therefore, IGFBP proteolysis directly modulates the first step in IGF receptor signaling and thereby indirectly modulates cell survival, mitogenesis and differentiation. Our understanding of IGFBP proteolysis has grown exponentially over the past five years, with the identification of several new IGFBP proteases, a growing appreciation of the potential for IGF-independent actions of IGFBP fragments and the realization that perturbations of IGFBP proteolysis are seen in, and might contribute to, several pathological conditions.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is inhibitory to the growth of many breast cancer cells in vitro; however, a high level of expression of IGFBP-3 in breast tumors correlates with poor prognosis, suggesting that IGFBP-3 may be associated with growth stimulation in some breast cancers. We have shown previously in MCF-10A breast epithelial cells that chronic activation of Ras-p44/42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase confers resistance to the growth-inhibitory effects of IGFBP-3 (Martin, J. L., and Baxter, R. C. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 16407-16411). Here we show that, in the same cell line, IGFBP-3 potentiates DNA synthesis and cell proliferation stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF), a potent activator of Ras. A mutant of IGFBP-3, which fails to translocate to the nucleus and has reduced ability to cell-associate, similarly enhanced EGF action in these cells. By contrast, the structurally related IGFBP-5, which shares many functional features with IGFBP-3, was slightly inhibitory to DNA synthesis in the presence of EGF. IGFBP-3 primes MCF-10A cells to respond to EGF because pre-incubation caused a similar degree of EGF potentiation as co-incubation. In IGFBP-3-primed cells, EGF-stimulated EGF receptor phosphorylation at Tyr-1068 was increased relative to unprimed cells, as was phosphorylation and activity of p44/42 and p38 MAP kinases, but not Akt/PKB. Partial blockade of the p44/42 and p38 MAP kinase pathways abolished the potentiation by IGFBP-3 of EGF-stimulated DNA synthesis. Collectively, these findings indicate that IGFBP-3 enhances EGF signaling and proliferative effects in breast epithelial cells via increased EGF receptor phosphorylation and activation of p44/42 and p38 MAP kinase signaling pathways.

Abstract
In addition to their roles in IGF transport, the six IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) regulate cell activity in various ways. By sequestering IGFs away from the type I IGF receptor, they may inhibit mitogenesis, differentiation, survival, and other IGF-stimulated events. IGFBP proteolysis can reverse this inhibition or generate IGFBP fragments with novel bioactivity. Alternatively, IGFBP interaction with cell or matrix components may concentrate IGFs near their receptor, enhancing IGF activity. IGF receptor-independent IGFBP actions are also increasingly recognized. IGFBP-1 interacts with alpha(5)beta(1) integrin, influencing cell adhesion and migration. IGFBP-2, -3, -5, and -6 have heparin-binding domains and can bind glycosaminoglycans. IGFBP-3 and -5 have carboxyl-terminal basic motifs incorporating heparin-binding and additional basic residues that interact with the cell surface and matrix, the nuclear transporter importin-beta, and other proteins. Serine/threonine kinase receptors are proposed for IGFBP-3 and -5, but their signaling functions are poorly understood. Other cell surface IGFBP-interacting proteins are uncharacterized as functional receptors. However, IGFBP-3 binds and modulates the retinoid X receptor-alpha, interacts with TGFbeta signaling through Smad proteins, and influences other signaling pathways. These interactions can modulate cell cycle and apoptosis. Because IGFBPs regulate cell functions by diverse mechanisms, manipulation of IGFBP-regulated pathways is speculated to offer therapeutic opportunities in cancer and other diseases.
