Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has been reported previously
to promote the proliferation, survival, and maturation of sympathetic
neuroblasts, the genesis of retinal neurons, and the survival of CNS
projection and motor neurons. Here we asked whether IGF-I could promote
the in vitro differentiation of postmitotic mammalian
CNS neuronal precursors derived from multipotent epidermal growth
factor (EGF)-responsive stem cells. In the absence of IGF-I, virtually
no neurons were present in cultured stem cell progeny, whereas IGF-I
increased neuron number by eight- to 40-fold. Brief exposures (2 hr) to
IGF-I were sufficient to allow for neuronal differentiation without
affecting proliferation or survival. IGF-I actions could be mimicked by
insulin and IGF-II at concentrations that correspond to the
pharmacology of the IGF-I receptor, the latter for which the mRNA was
detected in undifferentiated stem cell progeny. Although ineffectual
alone at low concentrations (10 nM) that would activate its
own receptor, insulin was able to potentiate the actions of IGF-I by
acting on mitotically active neural precursors. When neuronal precursor
differentiation by IGF-I was examined in relation to brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF), two important observations were made: (1)
BDNF could potentiate the differentiating actions of IGF-I plus
insulin, and (2) BDNF could act on a separate population of precursors
that did not require IGF-I plus insulin for differentiation. Taken
together, these results suggest that IGF-I and BDNF may act together or sequentially to promote neuronal precursor differentiation.
