Thrombin stimulation of prostacyclin (PGI2) synthesis by cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) requires the active site of thrombin and involves rapid and transient rises in cytoplasmic free calcium [Ca2+]i. In this study, we investigated whether or not the anion-binding exosite for fibrinogen recognition of thrombin (which confers certain substrate specificities) is also necessary for the induction of rises in [Ca2+]i and PGI2 production. Thrombin variants which lack either the catalytic site (DIP-alpha-thrombin) or anion-binding exosite (gamma-thrombin) either alone or in combination failed to induce rises in [Ca2+]i or PGI2 production in HUVEC. To further study the role of the anion-binding exosite of thrombin in the activation of HUVEC, COOH-terminal fragments of hirudin were used. This portion of hirudin interacts with the anion-binding exosite of thrombin and inhibits thrombin-induced fibrinogen coagulation while leaving the catalytic activity of thrombin intact. A 21-amino acid COOH-terminal peptide of hirudin (N alpha-acetyldesulfato-hirudin45-65 or Hir45-65) inhibited thrombin-induced (0.5 U/ml) rises in [Ca2+]i and PGI2 production with IC50 of 0.13 and 0.71 microM, respectively. Similar results were obtained using shorter hirudin-derived peptides. Thus, the fibrinogen anion-binding exosite of thrombin is required for alpha-thrombin-induced rises in [Ca2+]i and PGI2 production in HUVEC.  相似文献

Cleavage by thrombin of the platelet thrombin receptor exposes a new N-terminal segment SFLLRNPNDKYEPF (SFLL) which acts as a tethered ligand. The free peptide activates platelets and induces platelet aggregation. We now show that SFLL can also activate human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and induce rises in both cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and prostacyclin (PGI2) production. These responses were time- and concentration-dependent and were similar to those for native thrombin except that they were not blocked by hirudin. Initial activation of HUVEC with thrombin desensitized the subsequent response to SFLL for both rises in [Ca2+]i and PGI2 production. Thus, SFLL alone can activate HUVEC and elevate [Ca2+]i and induce PGI2 production suggesting that the thrombin receptors on platelet and endothelial cells are functionally and structurally similar.  相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play key roles in vascular remodeling. We characterized the role of inflammatory mediators and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) in the control of arterialized vein graft expression of MMP-9, MMP-2, and membrane-type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP) and of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2). For this purpose we used a canine model of jugular vein to carotid artery interposition graft and analyzed the vein grafts at various postoperative times (30 min to 28 days) using the contralateral vein as a control. To study the role of ERK-1/2, veins were incubated with the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK-1/2) inhibitor UO126 for 30 min before being grafted. Vein graft extracts were analyzed for MMPs, TIMP-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and thrombin activity, and for ERK-1/2 activation. Vein graft arterialization resulted in rapid and sustained (8 h to 28 days) upregulation of vein graft-associated MMP-9, MMP-2, MT1-MMP, thrombin activity, and TNF-alpha levels with concomitant TIMP-2 downregulation. MMP-2 activation preceded MT1-MMP upregulation. PMN infiltration and vein graft-associated MPO activity increased within hours after arterialization, indicating a prompt, local inflammatory response. In cultured smooth muscle cells, both thrombin and TNF-alpha upregulated MT1-MMP expression; however, only thrombin activated MMP-2. Inhibition of ERK-1/2 activation blocked arterialization-induced upregulation of MMP-2, MMP-9, and MT1-MMP. Thus, thrombin, inflammatory mediators, and activation of the ERK-1/2 pathway control MMP and TIMP-2 expression in arterialized vein grafts.  相似文献

The effects of thrombin and histamine on protein phosphorylation in intact cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) prelabeled with 32PO4 were investigated. Incubation of HUVEC with either thrombin or histamine, agonists known to induce rapid transient increases in intracellular calcium levels in HUVEC, caused a rapid reversible increase in the phosphorylation of a protein with a Mr = 100,000 independent of the presence of extracellular calcium. Immunological and biochemical studies demonstrated that this Mr = 100,000 protein is elongation factor 2 (EF-2), a substrate previously shown to be phosphorylated by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase III (Nairn, A. C., and Palfrey, H. C. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 17299-17303). EF-2 is crucial for protein synthesis because it catalyzes the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA on the ribosome. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the EF-2 immunoprecipitated from HUVEC revealed that all of the thrombin-stimulated phosphorylation occurred on threonine. EF-2 was also phosphorylated when HUVEC were treated with the calcium ionophore, ionomycin. Phosphorylation of EF-2 was not increased by treatment with D-Phe-Pro-Arg-chloromethyl ketone thrombin, phorbol dibutyrate, forskolin, or 8-bromo-cGMP. The transient nature of the phosphorylation of EF-2 is consistent with it having a role in mediating some of the transient effects of thrombin and histamine on endothelial cell protein synthesis and functional capabilities.  相似文献

Flavonoids have been proposed to act as chemopreventive agents in numerous epidemiological studies and have been shown to inhibit angiogenesis and proliferation of tumor cells and endothelial cells in vitro. Angiogenesis requires tightly controlled extracellular matrix degradation mediated by extracellular proteolytic enzymes including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and serine proteases, in particular, the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)-plasmin system. In this study, we have investigated the antiangiogenic mechanism of the flavonoids, genistein, apigenin, and 3-hydroxyflavone in a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) model. The stimulation of serum-starved HUVECs with vascular endothelial growth factor/basic fibroblast growth factor (VEGF/bFGF) caused marked increase in MMP-1 production and induced the pro-MMP-2 activation accompanied by the increase in MT1-MMP expression. However, pretreatment with flavonoids before VEGF/bFGF stimulation completely abolished the VEGF/bFGF-stimulated increase in MMP-1 and MT1-MMP expression and pro-MMP-2 activation. Genistein blocked VEGF/bFGF-stimulated increase in TIMP-1 expression and decrease in TIMP-2 expression. Apigenin and 3-hydroxyflavone further decreased TIMP-1 expression below basal level and completely abolished TIMP-2 expression. VEGF and bFGF stimulation also significantly induced uPA expression, most strikingly the level of 33 kDa uPA, and increased the expression of PA inhibitor (PAI)-1. Genistein, apigenin, and 3-hydroxyflavone effectively blocked the generation of 33 kDa uPA, and further decreased the activity of the 55 kDa uPA and the expression of PAI-1 below the basal level. In conclusion, these data suggest that genistein, apigenin, and 3-hydroxyflavone inhibit in vitro angiogenesis, in part via preventing VEGF/bFGF-induced MMP-1 and uPA expression and the activation of pro-MMP-2, and via modulating their inhibitors, TIMP-1 and -2, and PAI-1.  相似文献

Glycation has been implicated in the endothelial dysfunction that contributes to both diabetes- and aging-associated vascular complications. The aim of the present study was to determine whether Amadori-glycated phosphatidylethanolamine (Amadori-PE), a lipid-linked glycation compound that is formed at an increased rate in hyperglycemic states, affected proliferation, migration and tube formation of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Amadori-PE at a low concentration of less than 5 microM significantly enhanced these three factors involved in angiogenesis. Furthermore, stimulation of HUVEC with Amadori-PE resulted in secretion of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), a pivotal enzyme in the initial step of angiogenesis. Our results demonstrated for the first time that Amadori-PE may be an important compound that promotes vascular disease as a result of its angiogenic activity on endothelial cells. We also demonstrated that MMP-2 is a primary mediator of Amadori-PE-driven angiogenesis.  相似文献

Incubation of prothrombin on cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells with factor Xa and calcium ions induced the activation of prothrombin. The mechanism of prothrombin activation was analyzed on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels using immuno- and amido-blotting techniques. It was demonstrated that meizothrombin was formed as an intermediate in prothrombin activation on the endothelial cell surface. In addition, considerable amounts of meizothrombin des-fragment-1 accumulated during prothrombin activation and were not further converted to thrombin. Although preincubation of the endothelial cells with thrombin did not influence the formation of meizothrombin, addition of hirudin to the prothrombin activation mixture inhibited the formation of meizothrombin and meizothrombin des-fragment-1 almost completely. This indicated that the activity of endogenously formed thrombin influenced the formation of meizothrombin via a feedback mechanism. The increased formation of meizothrombin and accumulation of meizothrombin des-fragment-1 in a latter phase of prothrombin activation points to a regulatory mechanism in hemostasis which subdues the formation of the procoagulant alpha-thrombin.  相似文献
