Insulin and IGF-I induce pronounced hypertrophy of skeletal myofibers in tissue culture

H. H. Vandenburgh, P. Karlisch, J. Shansky and R. Feldstein
Department of Pathology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02906.

Skeletal myofibers differentiated from primary avian myoblasts in tissue culture can be maintained in positive nitrogen balance in a defined serum-free medium for at least 6-7 days when embedded in a three-dimensional collagen gel matrix. Incubation of established myofiber cultures for 3-7 days with insulin (1 microM) or insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I, 32 nM) stimulates both cell hyperplasia and myofiber hypertrophy. Mean myofiber diameter increases 71-98%. Insulin-like growth factor II stimulates cell hyperplasia but not myofiber hypertrophy. Cell growth results from a 42-62% increase in total protein synthesis and a 28-38% decrease in protein degradation. Myosin heavy-chain content increases 183-258% because of a 55% stimulation of myosin synthesis and 33-61% inhibition of degradation. Associated with myofiber hypertrophy is a 87-148% increase in the number of myofiber nuclei per unit myofiber length. The results indicate that insulin and IGF-I, but not IGF-II, can induce rapid myofiber hypertrophy in vitro, most likely by stimulating myoblast proliferation and/or fusion to established myofibers.
