The present study was undertaken to investigate the metabolic regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) gene expression in muscles from diabetic or fasted rat. The messenger RNA (mRNA) levels for IGFBP-2 and -4 were analysed by solution hybridization in heart, skeletal and smooth muscle and liver from fasted (3 days) and refed (6, 12, 24, 72 h) rats and rats made diabetic with streptozotocin. In aortic intima-media, the mRNA levels for IGFBP-2 and -4 were decreased by diabetes or fasting and were restored gradually by refeeding. The response of IGFBP-4 mRNA to diabetes appeared two days after injection of streptozotocin, while a significant decrease of IGFBP-2 mRNA was found after a diabetes duration of two weeks. Both diabetes and fasting decreased IGFBP-4 mRNA levels in heart muscle and skeletal muscle and refeeding restored mRNA for IGFBP-4 to normal level. IGFBP-2 mRNA was undetectable in heart muscle and skeletal muscle. In liver IGFBP-4 mRNA was abundantly expressed. It was slightly but significantly decreased by fasting and approached normality with refeeding, while no change was found in diabetic liver. In contrast, liver IGFBP-2 mRNA was much lower in amount than IGF-I mRNA and IGFBP-4 mRNA and was sharply elevated by fasting, and decreased by refeeding. In conclusion, 1) both IGFBP-2 and -4 mRNA in various tissues are regulated by diabetes or fasting; 2) the mRNA for IGFBP-2 is metabolically regulated in a discordant, organ-specific manner.
