Viral expression of insulin-like growth factor-I isoforms promotes different responses in skeletal muscle

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a critical protein for skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Its ability to promote skeletal muscle hypertrophy has been demonstrated by several methods. Alternative splicing of the Igf-1 gene does not affect the mature IGF-I protein but does produce different E peptide extensions, which have been reported to modify the potency of IGF-I. Viral-mediated delivery of murine IGF-IA and IGF-IB into skeletal muscle of 2-wk-old and 6-mo-old mice was utilized to compare the effects of the isoforms on muscle mass. In young mice, tissue content of IGF-I protein was significantly higher in rAAV-treated muscles than control muscles at 1, 2, and 4 mo postinjection. Viral injection of IGF-IB produced two- to sevenfold more IGF-I than rAAVIGF-IA. Hypertrophy was observed 2 and 4 mo postinjection, where both rAAVIGF-IA and rAAVIGF-IB were equally effective in increasing muscle mass. These results suggest that there is a threshold of IGF-I production necessary to promote muscle hypertrophy in young growing animals regardless of isoform. In 6-mo-old animals, only rAAVIGF-IA produced significant increases in muscle size, even though increased IGF-I content was observed after injection of both isoforms. Therefore, the ability for IGF-IB to promote muscle hypertrophy is only effective in growing animals, suggesting that the bioavailability of this isoform or its receptor affinity diminishes with age.
