Cultured Sertoli cells prepared from young rats (13 days old) showed increased incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA, increased production of lactate and increased incorporation of [3H]leucine into protein in response to micromolar concentrations of insulin and nanomolar concentrations of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II). The first of these responses was also seen with nanomolar concentrations of IGF-I. Receptor affinity labeling studies using Sertoli cell membranes and whole Sertoli cells showed that these cells possess abundant growth factor receptors of type I (MW, 350,000) that show high affinity for IGF-I, moderate affinity for IGF-II and low affinity for insulin. Sertoli cell membranes also show abundant growth factor receptors of type II (MW, 230,000) that show high affinity for IGF-II, moderate affinity for IGF-I and no detectable affinity for insulin. Moreover, the responses of the Sertoli cell to insulin were observed at concentrations of 100 nM or higher; insulin receptors are known to be saturated by insulin at concentrations of 10 nM or less. Sertoli cells possess receptors for IGF-I and the responses observed to insulin may result from binding of these hormones to receptors for IGF-I.
