The involvement of molecules belonging to the insulin/IGF family in regulation of growth has been investigated in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. In vitro biological effects of human recombinant IGF-I (hrIGF-1) on mantle edge cells, involved in oyster shell and soft body growth, were studied over an annual cycle. In mantle edge cells hrIGF-1 stimulates protein synthesis of 56 +/- 5.1% over basal for 10(-10) M in September with in addition a clear dose-effect corresponding to the highest shell growth period, and 57.5 +/- 3.45% over basal for 10(-11) M in March and 51 +/- 5.4% over basal for 10(-10) M in April corresponding to the period of mantle growth. These insulin-like effects were associated with the expression of a recently identified C gigas insulin receptor-related receptor (CIR) in mantle edge cells as demonstrated by RT-PCR. Moreover, in situ hybridisation (ISH) confirmed this expression at the level of the inner and outer epithelia involved in mantle growth and shell formation. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).
