Increased Colocalization and Interaction Between Decidual Protein Kinase A and Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-1 in Intrauterine Growth Restriction.

ABSTRACT: Increased phosphorylation of decidual insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) can contribute to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) by decreasing the bioavailability of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). However, the molecular mechanisms regulating IGFBP-1 phosphorylation at the maternal-fetal interface are poorly understood. Protein kinase A (PKA) is required for normal decidualization. Consensus sequences for PKA are present in IGFBP-1. We hypothesized that the expression/interaction of PKA with decidual IGFBP-1 is increased in IUGR. Parallel reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (PRM-MS) identified multiple PKA peptides (n=>30) co-immunoprecipitating with IGFBP-1 in decidualized primary human endometrial stromal cells (HESC). PRM-MS also detected active PKA^pThr197 and greater site-specific IGFBP-1 phosphorylation^{(pSer119), (pSer98+pSer101) (pSer169+pSer174)} in response to hypoxia. Hypoxia promoted colocalization [dual immunofluorescence (IF)] of PKA with IGFBP-1 in decidualized HESC. Colocalization (IF) and interaction (proximity ligation assay) of PKA and IGFBP-1 were increased in decidua collected from placenta of human IUGR pregnancies (n=8) compared with decidua from pregnancies with normal fetal growth. Similar changes were detected in decidual PKA/IGFBP-1 using placenta from baboons subjected to maternal nutrient reduction (MNR) vs controls (n=3 each). In baboons, these effects were evident in MNR at gestational day 120 prior to IUGR onset. Increased PKA-mediated phosphorylation of decidual IGFBP-1 may contribute to decreased IGF-1 bioavailability in the maternal-fetal interface in IUGR.

Project description:Hypoxia increases fetal hepatic insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) phosphorylation mediated by mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition. Whether maternal nutrient restriction (MNR) causes fetal hypoxia remains unclear. We used fetal liver from a baboon (Papio sp.) model of intrauterine growth restriction due to MNR (70% global diet of Control) and liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells as a model for human fetal hepatocytes and tested the hypothesis that mTOR-mediated IGFBP-1 hyperphosphorylation in response to hypoxia requires hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and regulated in development and DNA-damage responses-1 (REDD-1) signaling. Western blotting (n = 6) and immunohistochemistry (n = 3) using fetal liver indicated greater expression of HIF-1α, REDD-1 as well as erythropoietin and its receptor, and vascular endothelial growth factor at GD120 (GD185 term) in MNR versus Control. Moreover, treatment of HepG2 cells with hypoxia (1% pO2 ) (n = 3) induced REDD-1, inhibited mTOR complex-1 (mTORC1) activity and increased IGFBP-1 secretion/phosphorylation (Ser101/Ser119/Ser169). HIF-1α inhibition by echinomycin or small interfering RNA silencing prevented the hypoxia-mediated inhibition of mTORC1 and induction of IGFBP-1 secretion/phosphorylation. dimethyloxaloylglycine (DMOG) induced HIF-1α and also REDD-1 expression, inhibited mTORC1 and increased IGFBP-1 secretion/phosphorylation. Induction of HIF-1α (DMOG) and REDD-1 by Compound 3 inhibited mTORC1, increased IGFBP-1 secretion/ phosphorylation and protein kinase PKCα expression. Together, our data demonstrate that HIF-1α induction, increased REDD-1 expression and mTORC1 inhibition represent the mechanistic link between hypoxia and increased IGFBP-1 secretion/phosphorylation. We propose that maternal undernutrition limits fetal oxygen delivery, as demonstrated by increased fetal liver expression of hypoxia-responsive proteins in baboon MNR. These findings have important implications for our understanding of the pathophysiology of restricted fetal growth.

Project description:In this study, we examined chronic norepinephrine suppression of insulin secretion in sheep fetuses with placental insufficiency-induced intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) was measured with a square-wave hyperglycemic clamp in the presence or absence of adrenergic receptor antagonists phentolamine (alpha) and propranolol (beta). IUGR fetuses were hypoglycemic and hypoxemic and had lower GSIS responsiveness (P < or = 0.05) than control fetuses. IUGR fetuses also had elevated plasma norepinephrine (3,264 +/- 614 vs. 570 +/- 86 pg/ml; P < or = 0.05) and epinephrine (164 +/- 32 vs. 60 +/- 12 pg/ml; P < or = 0.05) concentrations. In control fetuses, adrenergic inhibition increased baseline plasma insulin concentrations (1.7-fold, P < or = 0.05), whereas during hyperglycemia insulin was not different. A greater (P < or = 0.05) response to adrenergic inhibition was found in IUGR fetuses, and the average plasma insulin concentrations increased 4.9-fold at baseline and 7.1-fold with hyperglycemia. Unlike controls, basal plasma glucose concentrations fell (P < or = 0.05) with adrenergic antagonists. GSIS responsiveness, measured by the change in insulin, was higher (8.9-fold, P < or = 0.05) in IUGR fetuses with adrenergic inhibition than controls (1.8-fold, not significant), showing that norepinephrine suppresses insulin secretion in IUGR fetuses. Strikingly, in IUGR fetuses, adrenergic inhibition resulted in a greater GSIS responsiveness, because beta-cell mass was 56% lower and the maximal stimulatory insulin response tended (P < 0.1) to be higher than controls. This persistent norepinephrine suppression appears to be partially explained by higher mRNA concentrations of adrenergic receptors alpha(1D), alpha(2A), and alpha(2B) in a cohort of fetuses that were naïve to the antagonists. Therefore, norepinephrine suppression of insulin secretion was maintained, in part, by upregulating adrenergic receptor expression, but the beta-cells also appeared to compensate with enhanced GSIS. These findings may begin to explain why IUGR infants have a propensity for increased glucose requirements if norepinephrine is suddenly decreased after birth.
