Abstract (EN): Decidualization-associated protein (DAP), the quantitatively major secretory product of the mesometrial decidua in the rat, is a pl variant of the liver-derived acute-phase reactant, alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M), alpha(2)M, a broad spectrum protease inhibitor, has been demonstrated in the human to bind a variety of cytokines and growth factors. In humans, the quantitatively major secretory product of decidual tissue is an insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein. In this study, we have therefore tested the ability of liver- and decidual-derived alpha(2)M in the rat to bind IGF-I. alpha(2)M purified from acute-phase plasma and DAP purified from cytosolic extracts of decidual tissue and medium from tissue incubations both bound radiolabeled IGF-I. The binding of IGF-I was principally dependent upon the coincubation of the protein with a proteinase. Therefore, it occurred during the conversion of the ''slow'' to the ''fast'' form of alpha(2)M. Pretreatment with proteinase to produce the fast form before addition of the IGF-I reduced the binding. Binding was enhanced at a ratio protein:proteinase of 1:1. Results from gel electrophoretic analysis were consistent with the covalent linkage of IGF-I to alpha(2)M during the cleavage of the ''bait region.'' A saturable displacement by increasing concentrations of unlabeled IGF-I suggested high affinity interaction. Under conditions of demonstrated binding to purified proteins binding in acute-phase plasma, decidual tissue extracts and tissue incubation medium were associated with a high molecular weight species which was confirmed to represent alpha(2)M and DAP, respectively. Our studies demonstrate that IGF-I may now be added to the list of regulatory peptides which alpha(2)M may bind and that, in rat decidua, DAP may represent the functional homolog of decidual IGFBP-1 in the human and regulate growth factor function during placental development.
