The insulin-like effect of growth hormone on insulin-like growth factor II receptors is opposed by cyclic AMP. Evidence for a common post-receptor pathway for growth hormone and insulin action.


ABSTRACT: The counter-regulatory effects of beta-adrenergic stimulation and cyclic AMP on the insulin-like action of growth hormone (GH) on the subcellular distribution of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) receptors were studied in fat cells from hypophysectomized (Hx) and sham-operated rats. For comparison, the effect of insulin on this process was also studied. Basal IGF-II binding was increased by approx. 2-fold in cells from Hx as compared with sham-operated animals. The stimulatory effect of insulin was decreased in Hx cells, mainly due to a basal redistribution but also to a reduced total number of receptors. GH exerted an acute insulin-like effect in cells from Hx rats and stimulated the translocation of IGF-II receptors from an intracellular pool to the plasma membrane. beta-Adrenergic stimulation with isoprenaline or addition of the non-metabolizable cyclic AMP-analogue N6-monobutyryl cyclic AMP induced a cellular resistance to both GH and insulin and also reduced the responsiveness to these hormones. Adenosine exerted a modulatory effect on both hormones. Binding of 125I-labelled GH to its receptors was not significantly changed by any of these factors. It is concluded that: (1) beta-adrenergic stimulation and cyclic AMP induce a cellular GH resistance at a level distal to the GH-binding site, and (2) the insulin-like effect of GH shares a common pathway with insulin which occurs at the post-binding level.
