Abstract Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) has a trophic effect on pheochromocytoma-12 (PC12) cells such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). We investigated involvement of BH(4) in the trophic effect of IGF-1 on PC12 cells. IGF-1 (10-300 ng/ml) increased cellular BH(4) content in a dose-related manner. Cellular BH(4) content increased after 6-36 h incubation with IGF-1. IGF-1-induced increase in the cellular BH(4) content was blunted by 0.3 mM 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP), an inhibitor for BH(4) synthesis. IGF-1 protected PC12 cells from the cell death induced by depletion of serum and nerve growth factor, which was attenuated by DAHP. The effects of IGF-1 on the cellular BH(4) content and cell viability were eliminated by 0.2 microM wortmannin. These results suggest that BH(4) is involved in the trophic effect of IGF-1 on PC12 cells and that the effect of IGF-1 on BH(4) synthesis is mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
