Total somatomedins from milk of bovine somatotropin-treated cows were isolated and characterized to determine the relative amount of the three amino acid N-terminally truncated form of IGF-I (destripeptide IGF-I). The somatomedin fraction was isolated using organic solvent and solid-phase extractions followed by preparative reverse phase HPLC and affinity chromatography. The overall yield of IGF-I was 28%, and destripeptide IGF-I was recovered with similar efficiency. The isolated somatomedins were resolved by capillary zonal electrophoresis and identified using recombinant somatomedin standards. The concentration of destripeptide IGF-I relative to full length IGF-I was determined by amino terminal sequencing and by bioassay. Results from these experiments indicated that the level of destripeptide IGF-I in milk from somatotropin-treated cows was less than 3% of the IGF-I concentration. Destripeptide IGF-I is therefore a minor component of the somatomedins present in milk from treated cows and does not contribute significantly to the proliferative activity of this milk.

Human growth hormone but not human insulin-like growth factor-I enhances recovery from neonatal malnutrition in rats.

The ability of hormonal therapy to enhance recovery from neonatal malnutrition was assessed in rats. Pups were malnourished via maternal food restriction (60% control intake). On d 16, restricted pups (n = 50) (62% control body wt) were refed until d 20 and were given growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I, destripeptide [1,3] insulin-like growth factor-I, or saline (placebo).

The physiological importance of circulating as opposed to locally produced insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has not been determined. By using a passive immunoneutralization technique, our objectives were to evaluate the role of circulating IGF-I in the regulation of animal growth and pituitary GH content. A monoclonal antibody (MAb) to IGF-I, generated in our laboratory, has an affinity (Ka) of 0.

The insulin-like growth factor binding protein (BP) secreted by bovine kidney (MDBK) cells has been purified by affinity chromatography on a rat IGF-2 Sepharose column. Purified BP migrated as a single band of Mr 40,000 upon SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. An N-terminal sequence of 53 residues was obtained which was very similar up to residue 21 to the corresponding rat BRL-3A BP sequence.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), whether recombinant, chemically-synthesised or purified from bovine colostrum, was equipotent in radioreceptor assays with IGF-1 or insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) as radioligand as well as in its ability to stimulate protein synthesis in L6 myoblasts. The N-terminal truncated, destripeptide derivative of IGF-1 was approximately 7 times more potent than IGF-1 in the protein synthesis bioassay. This increased activity occurred equally with the peptide purified from bovine colostrum as with chemically-synthesised material.
