}Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) is one member of the family of IGF binding proteins believed to have both endocrine functions elicited by modulating serum IGF half-life and transport as well as autocrine/paracrine functions that result from blocking or enhancing the availability of IGFs to bind cell surface receptors. To clarify the in vivo role of IGFBP-2, we have used gene targeting to introduce a null IGFBP-2 allele into the mouse genome. Animals homozygous for the…

Phenotypic analysis revealed features that are common for most IGFBPs (growth inhibition), but also effects that appear to be specific for some but not all IGFBBP, such as disturbed glucose homeostasis or impaired fertility.

Although growth retardation was obvious prenatally, maximal inhibition occurred postnatally before the onset of growth hormone-dependent growth, regardless of Igfbp5 expression level, revealing a period of sensitivity to IGFBP-5 during this important stage of tissue programming.

Combinational IGFBP KO mice generated provide direct evidence for combinatorial effects of IGFBP-3, -4, and -5 in both metabolism and at least some soft tissues and strongly suggest overlapping roles for IGF BP-3 and-5 in maintaining IGF-I-mediated postnatal growth in mice.

It is demonstrated that IGFBP-5, although not essential for normal growth, is required for normal mammary gland involution and can regulate Mammary gland morphogenesis in response to hormone stimulation.

This review examines the data reported to date for transgenic mouse models that overexpress IGFBPs and examines the effect of generalized or tissue-specific overexpression on the functional role of the circulating IGFs and the originally proposed endocrine somatomedin hypothesis.
