RESUMO
Human ectocervical cells, following retroviral transduction with the human papillomavirus type 16 E6/E7 oncogenes, are altered in their array of transcribed cellular genes, including increased mRNA for the insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3). IGFBP-3 expression is associated with cellular senescence, and its addition to many cell types inhibits growth or induces apoptosis. By immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods, we demonstrate that late-passage, immortalized E6/E7-transduced cells secrete high levels of IGFBP-3 (25 ng/ml), which represent a 500-fold increase compared to levels in early-passage, nonimmortalized transduced cells (<0.05 ng/ml). Concomitantly, these late-passage cervical cells exhibit an increase in sensitivity to IGF-1, including enhanced phosphorylation of the IGF receptor (IGF-R) and insulin receptor substrate as well as increased DNA synthesis (5-fold) and cell proliferation (3.7-fold). However, there was no change in the level of IGF-R in these cells (surface or total), and the cells did not synthesize IGF-1, indicating that these arms of the IGF pathway were independently regulated and not responsible for the augmented signaling. Consistent with a causal relationship between IGFBP-3 expression and enhanced IGF-1 responses, we found that early-passage cells could be converted to the late-passage, IGF-1-responsive phenotype by preincubation with IGFBP-3. Thus, in contrast to findings with some cell types, IGFBP-3 expression in cervical cells is associated with augmented IGF-1 signaling and cell proliferation and correlates with the timing of cellular immortalization.
