The mechanisms of IL-1-induced upregulation of IGFBP1 mRNA transcription in the liver are complex and involve several distinct pathways. In a healthy state, the insulin signaling is the main mechanism for IGFBP1 regulation that facilitates the coordinated regulation of its production in accordance to the feeding state of the organisms. The pathway involves activation of Akt and nuclear export of FoxO-1 transcription factor. IL-1, however, can negate insulin signaling and can potentially interfere with insulin-dependent regulation of IGFBP1 by downregulation of Akt. IL-1 can also increase IGFBP1 transcription by elevating nuclear FoxO-1 trough JNK activation in an insulin-independent manner. The results from this study delineate a novel pathway allowing for increasing IGFBP1 mRNA and serum IGFBP1 levels in response to IL-1 through direct stimulation of IGFBP1 promoter activity in a manner that does not require FoxO-1 or the insulin response element. This novel pathway seemingly involves activation of nSMase-2 and ERK and can be surpassed by an active insulin pathway. Cells were treated with rat or human recombinant IL-1 (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and recombinant insulin (Sigma).
