Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) cleaves IGF-binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) and appears to enhance local IGF bioavailability in response to injury. In this study we determined the effects of growth factors and cytokines involved in the healing process on PAPP-A expression in human dermal fibroblasts. There was no effect of platelet-derived growth factor, epidermal growth factor, or basic fibroblast growth factor on PAPP-A mRNA expression in these cells. However, treatment with the proinflammatory cytokines, TNFalpha and IL-1beta, resulted in time- and dose-dependent increases in PAPP-A mRNA and protein expression (3- to 4-fold maximal effects), which were prevented by actinomycin D. On the other hand, interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) treatment markedly inhibited PAPP-A expression. IGFBP-4 proteolytic activity was increased 4-fold in medium from TNFalpha- and IL-1beta-treated (1 nM) cells and decreased 40% in medium from IFNgamma-treated (1 nM) cells. IGF-I-stimulated [H-3] thymidine incorporation was significantly enhanced by pretreatment with 1 nM TNFalpha, and this enhancement was blocked in the presence of protease-resistant IGFBP-4. In conclusion, PAPP-A expression is regulated by inflammatory cytokines in adult human fibroblasts, with functional consequences on IGFBP-4 protease activity and IGF-I bioavailability. These data provide a mechanism for the regulation of PAPP-A in response to injury and further implicate PAPP-A in the wound-healing processes.
