Insulin binding to receptors was studied using monolayers of cultured normal human fibroblasts. Binding was rapid and inversely related to the incubation temperature; prolonged periods of steady-state binding were achieved at all temperatures studied and the amount of degradation of extracellular insulin was minimal. Competition curves demonstrated half-maximal inhibition of 125I-insulin binding at an unlabeled insulin concentration of 125I-insulin binding at an unlabeled insulin concentration of 7 ng/ml. Scatchard plots of the binding data were curvilinear and revealed that fibroblasts contained about 7,000 receptor sites per cell. Bound 125I-insulin dissociated from fibroblasts with a t 1/2 of 10 min at 30 degrees C and 35 min at 16 degrees C. After 60 min dissociation at 30 degrees C, 45% of the dissociated radioactivity consisted of 125I-insulin degradation products, whereas only 8% of the dissociated material was in the form of degraded products after 60 min of dissociation at 16 degrees C. This indicates that fibroblasts possess a temperature-sensitive receptor-mediated process for insulin degradation. Preincubation of the monolayers with insulin led to a hormone-induced loss of insulin receptors. Thus, incubating cells with 25 ng/ml insulin for 6 h at 37 degrees C caused a 50% reduction in subsequently measured 125I-insulin binding. This hormone-induced receptor loss was sensitive to physiologic insulin levels, with approximately 5 ng/ml causing a half-maximal receptor loss. When monolayers were treated with the lysosomotropic agent chloroquine and subsequently incubated with 5 X 10(-11) M 125I-insulin, a 130% increase in cell-associated radioactivity was observed after 120 min at 30 degrees C. In summary, 1) cultured normal human fibroblasts possess insulin receptors that exhibit kinetic properties and specificity identical to that of other insulin target cells; 2) incubation of fibroblasts with physiologic concentrations of insulin causes a marked loss of cell-surface insulin receptors; and 3) receptor-bound 125I-insulin is internalized through an energy-dependent endocytotic pathway and subsequently degraded by a chloroquine-sensitive reaction.
