Abstract

We have sought to determine whether insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) regulates the levels of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) in prostate epithelial cells. Exposure of prostate epithelial cells to IGF-I in the absence of other growth factors leads to a reduction in IRS-1 levels. Ubiquitin content of IRS-1 is increased in the presence of IGF-I, and inhibitors of the proteasome prevented the reduction of IRS-1 levels seen following IGF-I exposure. These results imply that IRS-1 is targeted to the proteasome upon exposure to IGF-I. The addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) maintained IRS-1 levels even in the presence of IGF-I and inhibits IGF-I-dependent ubiquitination of IRS-1. Thus, these two growth factors, IGF-I and EGF, had antagonistic effects on IRS-1 protein levels in prostate epithelial cells. This regulation of IRS-1 reveals a novel level of cross-talk between the IGF-I and EGF signal pathways, which may have implications in tumors that harbor activating mutations in the EGF receptor.
