It is well known that both insulin-like growth factor-I and suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) are known to modulate various aspects of physiology in skeletal muscle cells. Furthermore, although SOCS-3 expression is related to insulin resistance in non-skeletal muscle cells and is known to interact with insulin-like growth factor-I receptor, the effect of IGF-I on SOCS-3 gene expression in skeletal muscle cells is presently unknown. C2C12 myotubes were treated with different concentrations (0-200 ng/ml) of IGF-I or for various periods of time (3-72 hr). Immunofluorescent staining image revealed that IGF-I induced SOCS-3 protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot data also showed that SOCS-3 proteins were induced by IGF-I (200 ng/ml) in C2C12 myotubes in a time-dependent manner. The level of SOCS-3 mRNA was also significantly increased after 3hr of IGF-I (10-100 ng/ml) treatment. However, the levels of SOCS-3 mRNA were significantly decreased after 24 and 48 hr of IGF-I (10-100 ng/ml) treatment compared to the control. In conclusion, SOCS-3 protein is induced by IGF-I treatment in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells and this induction is regulated pretranslationally. The modulating effect of IGF-I on SOCS-3 expression may be an important regulator of gene expression in skeletal muscle cells.
