Insulinlike growth factor—ii/mannose 6-phosphate receptor is expressed on ccl4-exposed rat fat-storing cells and facilitates activation of latent transforming growth factor-β in cocultures with sinusoidal endothelial cells

Abstract: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), a potent fibrogenic cytokine, is secreted in latent form. We examined which cell type in both normal and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced fibrotic rat liver bears surface type II IGF/mannose 6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6P) receptor, known to facilitate activation of TGF-beta. In addition, the role of the IGF-II/M6P receptor in activation of latent TGF-beta was investigated in a coculture system with sinusoidal endothelial cells. Northern hybridization analysis for IGF-II… Show more

“…This is in contrast to our recent findings on the biodistribution of 33 P-TFO, where we observed significant decrease in the hepatic uptake of 33 P-TFO when injected into fibrotic rats (16). This may be due to the fact that M6P/IGF-II receptors are upregulated during fibrosis (18,19), which should increase uptake by HSCs via receptor-mediated endocytosis and cancel out any adverse effect created by decrease in sinusoidal gap.…”

“…M6P is a ligand for M6P/IGF II receptor, which is upregulated in fibroblast-like cells such as activated HSCs during liver fibrosis (18,19). Coupling of M6P to albumin increased selective uptake of this modified albumin by HSCs during liver fibrosis (30).…”

“…An up-regulation of M6P/IGF-II receptors on HSC has been reported after induction of liver fibrosis in rats. [12][13][14] We therefore synthetized M6P-modified HSA with different degrees of sugarloading. We show that albumins modified with M6P groups, especially the highly substituted albumins, accumulate in the HSC of fibrotic rat livers.…”

“…13,18 The membrane form of the M6P/IGF-II receptor is involved in the activation of L-TGF␤. 12,19,20 L-TGF␤ has three glycosylation sites, two of which contain M6P. 21 TGF␤ is a fibrogenic cytokine with many functions, including induction of extracellular matrix synthesis and the inhibition of its degradation.…”

“…The mannose 6-phosphate͞insulin-like growth factor-II receptor (M6P͞IGF2R) plays a critical role in regulating cell growth by facilitating the activation of the growth inhibitor transforming growth factor ␤ (TGF␤) (4,5) and inactivating the growth stimulator insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF2) (6). Loss of this receptor is therefore predicted to both increase cell proliferation and reduce apoptosis, consistent with the M6P͞ IGF2R gene functioning as a tumor suppressor.…”
