Specific binding of IGF-binding protein
(IGFBP)-3 was shown to be present in the isolated, beating rat heart.
The uptake of perfused 125 I-labeled IGF-I in the beating
heart was decreased to 9% by blocking IGF-I binding sites with the
IGF-I analog Long R 3 (LR 3 ) IGF-I. When
LR 3 was perfused with complexes of
125 I-IGF-I · IGFBP-3, uptake of
125 I-IGF-I was decreased to 41%, which was significantly
greater than LR 3 and 125 I-IGF-I (41 vs. 9%).
These data suggest that both microvessel IGF-I and IGFBP-3 binding
sites contribute to the transport of IGF-I in the perfused rat heart.
This also suggests a novel and plausible mechanism whereby circulating
IGFs reach sites of IGF bioactivity.
