โฆ Synopsis
We have found that insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) accumulates to higher levels in medium conditioned by a strain of normal fibroblasts at late passage (LP) and a strain derived from subjects with Werner syndrome (WS) of premature aging, compared to medium conditioned by the same normal cells at early passage (EP) (Goldstein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1991). To explore the generality of this phenomenon with respect to chronologi- cal age of donor (in vivo aging) and LP (in vitro senescence) we assayed IGFBP-3 in medium conditioned by 18 normal fibroblast strains at EP and LP and two WS strains at the midpoint of their curtailed replicative lifespans and assessed IGFBP-3

We examined the distribution of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in cultured neonatal mouse calvariae. IGFBP-3 and -4 were predominantly found in the conditioned medium. IGFBP-2 was partitioned between conditioned medium and bone and extracellular matrix (BECM), while intact (31
