Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) is an osteoblast secretory protein that becomes incorporated into the mineralized bone matrix. In osteoblast cultures, IGFBP-5 stimulates cell proliferation by an IGF-independent mechanism. To evaluate whether IGFBP-5 can stimulate osteoblast activity and enhance bone accretion in a mouse model of osteoblast insufficiency, daily subcutaneous injections of either intact [IGFBP-5 (intact)] or carboxy-truncated IGFBP-5 [IGFBP-5-(1-169)] were given to ovariectomized (OVX) mice for 8 wk. Femur and spine bone mineral density (BMD), measured every 2 wk, showed early and sustained increases in response to IGFBP-5. Bone histomorphometry of cancellous bone showed significant elevations in the bone formation rate in both the femur metaphysis [IGFBP-5(1-169)] only) and spine compared with OVX controls. IGFBP-5 also stimulated osteoblast number in the femur IGFBP-5-( 1-169) only) and spine. These data indicate that IGFBP-5 effectively enhances bone formation and bone accretion in OVX mice by stimulating osteoblast activity. The finding that IGFBP-5-(1-169) is bioactive in vivo indicates that the carboxy-terminal portion is not required for this bone anabolic effect.
