Inhibitors of the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-IR) have been widely studied for their ability to enhance the killing of a variety of malignant cells, but the role of IGF-I and its receptor in the differential protection of host and cancer cells against chemotherapy is unknown. We previously showed that starvation protects mice but not cancer cells against high dose chemotherapy (Differential Stress Resistance, DSR). Here we provide evidence for the role of IGF-I reduction in mediating the effect of starvation in DSR. A 72-hour fast reduced circulating IGF-I by 70% and increased the level of the IGF-I inhibitor IGFBP-1 by 11-fold in mice. LID mice, with a 70–80% reduction in circulating IGF-I levels, were protected against 3 out of 4 chemotherapy drugs tested. Restoration of IGF-I during fasting was sufficient to reverse its protective effect. 60% of melanoma-bearing LID mice treated with doxorubicin reached long-term survival whereas all control mice died of either metastases or chemo toxicity. Reduction of IGF-I/IGF-I signaling protected primary glia, but not glioma cells against cyclophosphamide and protected mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) against doxorubicin-induced DNA damage. Similarly, S. cerevisiae lacking homologues of IGF-I signaling proteins displayed protection against chemotherapy-dependent DNA damage, which was reversed by expression of an oncogene homolog. We conclude that reducing circulating IGF-I protects normal cells and mice against chemotherapy-dependent DNA damage by a mechanism that involves down-regulation of proto-oncoproteins.
