Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) synthesize insulin-like growth factor-I (ILF-I), which is a mitogen for this cell type in vitro. Since IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) modulate IGF bioactivity, we determined which IGFBPs were secreted by porcine SMC. Porcine SMC secreted 34,000 and 24,000 M, forms of
Binding and growth promoting effects of insulin, insulin analogues modified in the B chain, proinsulin, insulin-like growth factor-I and -II were studied in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Specific binding of ~2~I-insulin was 0.9 + 0.2% of total ~25I-insulin added, and the ICs0-value was es
