Dietary or pharmacological inhibition of insulin-like growth factor-1 protects from renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.

ABSTRACT: One-week protein restriction (PR) limits ischemia-reperfusion (IR) damages and improves metabolic fitness. Similarly, longer-term calory restriction results in increased lifespan, partly via reduced insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1. However, the influence of short-term PR on IGF-1 and its impact on IR are unknown. PR was achieved in mice via one-week carbohydrate loading and/or through a low-protein diet. PR decreased IGF-1 circulating levels as well as renal and hepatic expression. Upon renal IR, serum IGF-1 positively correlated with renal dysfunction and tissular damages, independently of sex and age. Exogenous IGF-1 administration abrogated PR benefits during IR, while IGF-1 receptor inhibition with linsitinib was protective. IGF-1 was associated with a reduction in forkhead box O (F
