In the present study we have investigated the effect of TNF-alpha on the secretion of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) by clonal mouse osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1 cells) using subconfluent in vitro cultures and serum-free conditions. The IGF-I was determined by radioimmunoassay under conditions eliminating the interference of IGFBPs. Treatment of MC3T3-E1 cultures with TNF-alpha for 24 h resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in IGF-I secretion (maximally to 34 +/- 9.7% of control with 60 pmol/l TNF-alpha; mean +/- SD). The TNF-alpha treatment also resulted in decreased messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of IGF-I at 4 and 24 h, as detected by Northern analysis. Because basal secretion of IGFBPs is very low in MC3T3-E1 cells, effects of TNF-alpha on IGFBP secretion were studied in cultures in which IGFBP-4 expression was increased by calcitriol (1,25(OH)2D3) treatment. The presence of TNF-alpha (600 pmol/l) inhibited this calcitriol-induced stimulation of IGFBP-4 mRNA levels from 4 h onwards, with complete inhibition of the calcitriol effect occurring at 24 h. We also observed a dose-dependent inhibition of calcitriol-stimulated IGFBP-4 secretion into the culture medium (as detected by Western ligand blot), with the maximal inhibition occurring with 600 pmol/l TFN-alpha to 25 +/- 7% of control levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)" ?g. }
