Objectives.
To investigate the role of the IGF-1R by which lactoferrin induces osteoblast growth.
Methods.
Osteoblast received 5 d lactoferrin intervention at a concentration of 0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 1000 μg/mL, and the IGF-1 and IGF-1R were detected using RT-PCR and western blot.
The osteoblast into the control, 100 μg/mL lactoferrin, Neo-scramble (NS, empty vector), NS + 100 μg/mL lactoferrin, shIGF-1R and shIGF-1R + 100 μg/mL lactoferrin group.
We test the apoptosis and proliferation and the level of PI3K and RAS in osteoblasts after 5 d intervention.
Results.
(1) 1, 10, 100, and 1000 μg/mL lactoferrin induced the expression of IGF-1 mRNA and protein.
10 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL lactoferrin induced the expression of IGF-1R mRNA and protein.
(2) Lactoferrin (100 μg/mL) induced osteoblast proliferation while inhibiting apoptosis.
Osteoblasts with silenced IGF-1R exhibited decreased proliferation but increased apoptosis.
MMT staining and flow cytometry both indicated that there was no significant difference between the shIGF-1R group and the shIGF-1R + 100 μg/mL lactoferrin group.
(3) Lactoferrin (100 μg/mL) induced PI3K and RAS phosphorylation and silence of IGF-1R resulted in decreased p-PI3K and p-RAS expression.
Lactoferrin-treated shIGF-1R cells showed significantly higher level of p-PI3K and p-RAS when compared with shIGF-1R.
Conclusion.
Lactoferrin induced IGF-1/IGF-1R in a concentration-dependent manner.
Lactoferrin promoted osteoblast proliferation while inhibiting apoptosis through IGF-1R.
Lactoferrin activated PI3K and RAS phosphorylation via an IGF-1R independent pathway.
