Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) mediates anabolic actions in catabolic states and also influences the immune system. Endogenous IGF-1 production is suppressed in sepsis; replacement therapy is therefore a natural approach to obtain the protein anabolic and potentially immune-stimulating effects of IGF-1.
Twenty-two piglets were randomized to three groups: an IGF-1 group (n = 8) receiving a continuous infusion of 1.3 mg/h of IGF-1, a nontreated septic control group (n = 8), and a nonseptic control group (n = 6) receiving saline. Phagocytosis and respiratory burst in porcine neutrophils were evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM); tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels were measured in serum during the septic period. In addition, human neutrophils and monocytes were primed in vitro with IGF-1 and subsequently were stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or Escherichia coli; phagocytosis and respiratory burst were evaluated by FCM.
Under nonseptic conditions, pretreatment with IGF-1 suppressed the ability of neutrophils to ingest bacteria (ie, the level of phagocytosis) 43.4% +/- 2.7% (IGF-1-treated) vs 55.8% +/- 3.4% (nontreated septic controls) and 57.3% +/- 3.34% (nonseptic controls) (p = .01). When challenged by live E. coli infusion, phagocytosis increased in the IGF-1 group to the levels of the nontreated group. The respiratory burst showed a convincing priming effect of IGF-1. After 4 hours of sepsis, the mean fluorescence intensity was 63.1 +/- 6.9 in the IGF-1 group and 40.7 +/- 3.0 in nontreated septic controls. The serum levels of TNF-alpha in the nontreated septic control group were twice those in the IGF-1-treated group, ie, 65.7 +/- 13.1 pg/mL in the nontreated septic controls and 31.5 +/- 7.5 pg/mL in the IGF-1 group (p = .03). In vitro priming of human neutrophils and monocytes with IGF-1 and subsequent stimulation with PMA or E. coli demonstrated that IGF-1 enhanced both phagocytosis and respiratory burst.
IGF-1 serves as a priming agent for biologic functions of leukocytes.
胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF-1)在分解代谢状态下介导合成代谢作用,并且还影响免疫系统。脓毒症时内源性IGF-1的产生受到抑制;因此,替代疗法是获得IGF-1的蛋白质合成代谢及潜在免疫刺激作用的自然方法。
22头仔猪被随机分为三组:IGF-1组(n = 8)持续输注1.3 mg/h的IGF-1,未治疗的脓毒症对照组(n = 8),以及接受生理盐水的非脓毒症对照组(n = 6)。通过流式细胞术(FCM)评估猪中性粒细胞的吞噬作用和呼吸爆发;在脓毒症期间测定血清中的肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)水平。此外,人中性粒细胞和单核细胞在体外先用IGF-1进行预处理,随后用佛波酯(PMA)或大肠杆菌进行刺激;通过FCM评估吞噬作用和呼吸爆发。
在非脓毒症条件下,用IGF-1预处理会抑制中性粒细胞摄取细菌的能力(即吞噬水平),经IGF-1处理的为43.4%±2.7%,未治疗的脓毒症对照组为55.8%±3.4%,非脓毒症对照组为57.3%±3.34%(p = 0.01)。当通过输注活大肠杆菌进行刺激时,IGF-1组的吞噬作用增加到未治疗组的水平。呼吸爆发显示出IGF-1具有令人信服的启动作用。脓毒症4小时后,IGF-1组的平均荧光强度为63.1±6.9,未治疗的脓毒症对照组为40.7±3.0。未治疗的脓毒症对照组的血清TNF-α水平是IGF-1治疗组的两倍,即未治疗的脓毒症对照组为65.7±13.1 pg/mL,IGF-1组为31.5±7.5 pg/mL(p = 0.03)。人中性粒细胞和单核细胞在体外先用IGF-1进行预处理,随后用PMA或大肠杆菌进行刺激,结果表明IGF-1增强了吞噬作用和呼吸爆发。
IGF-1可作为白细胞生物学功能的启动剂。
