Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) is the major mechanism of releasing IGFs from their IGFBP complexes. Analysis of fibroblasts deficient for the lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin L (CTSL) revealed an accumulation of IGFBP-3 in the medium which was due neither to alterations in IGFBP-3 mRNA expression nor to extracellular IGFBP-3 protease activity. Incubation of CTSL-deficient fibroblasts with radiolabeled IGFBP-3 followed by subcellular fractionation indicates that both intact and fragmented IGFBP-3 accumulate transiently in endosomal and lysosomal fractions of CTSL-deficient cells. This suggests the involvement of CTSL in the intracellular degradation of IGFBP-3 representing a new mechanism to regulate the extracellular concentration of IGFBP-3.
