The mechanisms mediating the restricted growth in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) remain to be fully established. Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling functions as a placental nutrient sensor, indirectly influencing fetal growth by regulating placental function. Increased secretion and the phosphorylation of fetal liver IGFBP-1 are known to markedly decrease the bioavailability of IGF-1, a major fetal growth factor. We hypothesized that an inhibition of trophoblast mTOR increases liver IGFBP-1 secretion and phosphorylation. We collected conditioned media (CM) from cultured primary human trophoblast (PHT) cells with a silenced RAPTOR (specific inhibition of mTOR Complex 1), RICTOR (inhibition of mTOR Complex 2), or DEPTOR (activates both mTOR Complexes). Subsequently, HepG2 cells, a well-established model for human fetal hepatocytes, were cultured in CM from PHT cells, and IGFBP-1 secretion and phosphorylation were determined. CM from PHT cells with either mTORC1 or mTORC2 inhibition caused the marked hyperphosphorylation of IGFBP-1 in HepG2 cells as determined by 2D-immunoblotting while Parallel Reaction Monitoring-Mass Spectrometry (PRM-MS) identified increased dually phosphorylated Ser169 + Ser174. Furthermore, using the same samples, PRM-MS identified multiple CK2 peptides coimmunoprecipitated with IGFBP-1 and greater CK2 autophosphorylation, indicating the activation of CK2, a key enzyme mediating IGFBP-1 phosphorylation. Increased IGFBP-1 phosphorylation inhibited IGF-1 function, as determined by the reduced IGF-1R autophosphorylation. Conversely, CM from PHT cells with mTOR activation decreased IGFBP-1 phosphorylation. CM from non-trophoblast cells with mTORC1 or mTORC2 inhibition had no effect on HepG2 IGFBP-1 phosphorylation. Placental mTOR signaling may regulate fetal growth by the remote control of fetal liver IGFBP-1 phosphorylation.
