Description
Summary:Amylin and adrenomedullin, members of the calcitonin peptide family, are anabolic to bone. Here, we report overlapping molecular mechanisms by which amylin, adrenomedullin, and IGF-1 induce osteoblast proliferation. Co-treatment of osteoblastic cells with amylin or adrenomedullin and IGF-1 failed to induce an additive mitogenic effect. In osteoblastic cells, neutralization of the IGF-1 receptor blocked the proliferative effects of amylin and adrenomedullin, while neutralization of IGF-1 did not. Neither amylin- nor adrenomedullin-induced mitogenic signaling or cell proliferation in IGF-1 receptor-null fibroblasts. In addition, amylin and adrenomedullin receptor blockers inhibited the proliferative effects of IGF-1 in osteoblastic cells. These findings demonstrate overlap in the molecular mechanisms by which amylin, adrenomedullin, and IGF-1 induce mitogenesis in osteoblasts, and an important role for the IGF-1 receptor in the mitogenic actions of amylin and adrenomedullin. Our findings are potentially important in refining these peptides for the therapy of osteoporosis.
