The growth of regenerating limbs of amphibians depends upon proliferation of the blastema cells that accumulate beneath the epidermal cap. The epidermal cap is known to be mitogenic for the blastema cells. We have extracted a mitogenic activity from both the mesenchymal and epidermal (epidermal cap) components of cone stage blastemas which is retained on heparin-Sepharose and elutes with 1.15 M NaCl. This fraction stimulates neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells and [3H]thymidine incorporation into CCL 39 cells and is potentiated by heparin. The 2 M fraction was inactive. The heparin-Sepharose-purified growth factor cross-reacts with bovine acidic FGF polyclonal antibodies and shows a Mr of 16,000 on Western blots. Blastema membranes contain specific high affinity binding sites (Kd = 25 pM; capacity = 30 fmole/mg protein) and low affinity binding sites (Kd = 18 nM; capacity = 30 pmole/mg protein) for aFGF as revealed by Scatchard analysis. 125I-aFGF which is bound specifically by both the epidermal cap and mesenchyme of blastema frozen sections is displaced by an excess of unlabeled factor and inhibited by heparin. Heparinase treatment and 2 M NaCl washing which decreased the binding was fourfold more efficient for epidermal cap than for mesenchyme suggesting the presence of high affinity receptors in the latter tissue. The presence of aFGF (or a closely related molecule) in blastemas is consistent with our earlier results that showed stimulation of proliferation of cultured blastema cells by acidic or basic FGF or heparin alone. These results suggest the possibility that aFGF is stored in the epidermal cap during limb regeneration and that it stimulates the proliferation of the underlaying mesenchyme. 相似文献

Endothelial cell growth factors in embryonic and adult chick brain are related to human acidic fibroblast growth factor. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have investigated the nature of endothelial cell growth factors in 14-day embryonic and adult chick brain extracts. Mitogenic activity was isolated by a combination of cation-exchange, heparin-Sepharose affinity, and reverse-phase HPLC. Two major mitogenic fractions eluted from heparin-Sepharose at 0.8-1.3 M and 1.5-2 M. Biologically active proteins eluting at 0.8-1.3 M NaCl, after purification to homogeneity from embryonic and adult brain, were found to possess the same amino-terminal sequence as human acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF). The notion that the isolated mitogens represent chick aFGF is further supported by the findings that their affinity for heparin and their retention behavior in highly resolutive HPLC are indistinguishable from those of genuine aFGF. Mitogenic activities eluting at 1.5-2 M NaCl were also present in embryonic and adult brain, but in quantities insufficient for preliminary characterization. The high specific mitogenic activity for endothelial cells, high affinity for heparin and cross-reactivity with antibodies against bovine basic FGF (bFGF) suggest a relationship of those materials with basic FGF. Our data also suggest that the sequence of aFGF is highly conserved among vertebrates. While angiogenesis occurs predominantly in the embryonic brain, the absence of notable differences in the contents of the potent angiogenic factors aFGF and bFGF in embryonic versus adult chick brain is interesting. 相似文献

Importance of size, sulfation, and anticoagulant activity in the potentiation of acidic fibroblast growth factor by heparin 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Heparin was previously reported to potentiate the mitogenic activity of endothelial cell mitogens in a crude extract of bovine hypothalami (Thornton, S. C., Mueller, S. N., and Levine, E. M. (1983) Science 222, 623-625). We and others (Gospodarowicz, D., and Cheng, J. (1986) J. Cell. Physiol. 128, 475-484) have reported that the growth stimulatory effects of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) are potentiated in a similar manner. We have used these observations as the basis of an assay to characterize the importance of size, sulfation, and anticoagulant activity of heparin in mediating this effect. Partial nitrous acid depolymerization of heparin from porcine intestinal mucosa resulted in a mixture of heparin fragments, containing oligosaccharides ranging from disaccharides to polysaccharides of about 40 monosaccharides in length. This mixture was fractionated by ion exchange chromatography and gel permeation chromatography to obtain size-homogeneous oligosaccharides with different degrees of sulfation. Assay of these heparin-derived saccharides in the presence of a suboptimal concentration of aFGF revealed that a minimum chain length and a certain degree of sulfation is required in order to potentiate the action of aFGF. Low sulfate oligosaccharides (4-16 units) were unable to potentiate aFGF, whereas medium sulfate fractions of octadecasaccharides and larger were able to moderately potentiate aFGF. The potentiation of aFGF by the high sulfate fraction correlated with the saccharide size: 12 or more monosaccharide units were necessary to achieve potentiation equivalent to whole heparin, octa- and decasaccharides were mildly stimulatory, and hexasaccharides were without effect. In the absence of aFGF, intact heparin as well as all the oligosaccharides examined, inhibited the proliferation of capillary endothelial cells to approximately the same degree, between 20 and 50% inhibition. When a tetradecasaccharide was separated into a binding and a nonbinding fraction on matrix-bound antithrombin III, no difference was seen for these fractions in the endothelial cell proliferation assay. These results indicate that both size and sulfation of a heparin-derived oligosaccharide contribute to its ability to interact with aFGF and/or endothelial cells and that this interaction is independent of anticoagulant activity. In addition, our findings suggest that the inhibitory and potentiating effects of heparin on capillary endothelial cells have different structural requirements. 相似文献

Fresh bovine, porcine and canine hearts were homogenized and mitogens for mesoderm-derived cells were purified in three different steps. Extraction by two different ammonium sulfate precipitations was followed by cation-exchange chromatography and by heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. A heparin-Sepharose fraction from heart (eluted at 1.1 M NaCl) increased mitotic activity in serum-deprived cultures of porcine aortic endothelial and smooth muscle cells, and in human fibroblasts. This mitogenic activity is potentiated by heparin and inhibited by gamma-interferon. The heart mitogenic fraction showed one double peak on HPLC at A215 and one polypeptide band on SDS/PAGE. These peaks and bands were identical to those obtained from bovine brain. The heart acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) showed a positive signal in Western blots using antibodies raised against brain aFGF. Gas-phase amino acid sequencing established that the mitogens were identical to aFGF and the N-terminally truncated aFGF. Extraction in the presence of a protease inhibitor (pepstatin A) produced a higher-molecular mass form of aFGF with a blocked amino terminus. Another mitogen, eluted at 1.6 M NaCl from heparin-Sepharose, reacted with polyclonal antiserum against human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and showed a 66% (12 from 18 amino acids determined by gas-phase sequencing) similarity with bFGF. This polypeptide increased the mitotic activity of the same cell lines but was more potent than aFGF. 相似文献

Extracts from gently crushed adult mouse skeletal muscles (CMEs) contain potent myoblast mitogens, and may be used as a model system to investigate myotrophic factors released by adult muscles following injury. CME was separated into four peaks of mitogenic activity by heparin affinity chromatography. The fraction of CME that did not bind to heparin contained transferrin (Tf). Three peaks of mitogenic activity were eluted from the heparin-agarose columns at NaCl concentrations of 0.4 M, 0.9 M, and 2.0 M. A 46 kDa protein that shared antigenicity with the BB isoform of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) was present in the 0.4 M NaCl eluant. Mitogenic activity in the 2.0 M NaCl peak eluted identically to purified basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), did not act additively to saturating amounts of purified bFGF, and was neutralized by anti-bFGF antibodies. The 0.9 M NaCl eluant acted additively to the combination of three known growth factors for myoblasts, bFGF, insulin-like growth factor I, and epidermal growth factor, to stimulate C2 myoblast proliferation, suggesting this fraction contains a mitogenic activity which does not utilize (and hence compete for) receptors for the known mitogens for myoblasts. Additionally, the 0.9 M NaCl eluant did not stimulate proliferation of fibroblast-like cells derived from muscle tissue. The unbound, 0.4 M NaCl, 0.9 M NaCl, and 2.0 M NaCl eluants from the heparin-agarose column acted additively to one another to stimulate myoblast proliferation. Our data suggest that Tf, PDGF-BB-like molecules, bFGF-like activity, and an uncharacterized heparin-binding myoblast mitogen could be released after muscle injury and act to stimulate satellite cell proliferation. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

High-level expression and purification of a nonmitogenic form of human acidic fibroblast growth factor in Escherichia coli 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
To decrease the potential side effects of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) caused by its broad-spectrum mitogenic activity, a nonmitogenic form of aFGF (nhaFGF), which retained the cardio- and neuroprotective characters of the wild-type aFGF, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The expression level of nhaFGF was up to 25% of the total cellular protein. The expressed nhaFGF was purified by ionic exchange and heparin affinity chromatography from the supernatant of bacteria lysate. The mitogenic activity of the purified nhaFGF was decreased dramatically comparable to that of the wild-type aFGF (haFGF) detected by methylthiazoletetrazolium method. The purified recombinant nhaFGF was sufficiently prepared and sufficient for the following pharmacological study. 相似文献

Confluent cultures of human endothelial cells deposit into extracellular matrix (ECM) distinct heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) which modulate acidic fibroblast growth factor's (aFGF) ability to stimulate human endothelial cell mitogenic capacity. Extracellular matrix 35S-HSPG were isolated from cultures metabolically labelled with Na235SO4 by DEAE-Sepharose, Sepharose CL-4B, and aFGF-Affi-Gel 15 column chromatography and identified by resistance to chondroitinase ABC and sensitivity to nitrous acid. Fifty to sixty percent of the 35S-HSPG deposited into ECM do not bind aFGF. The bound 35S-HSGP (40-50% of the total counts applied) eluted from the aFGF-Affi-Gel column after the addition of buffer containing 2 M NaCl. aFGF-binding and aFGF-nonbinding 35S-HSPG were individually pooled and further purified by Sepharose CL-4B column chromatography. 35S-HSPG which bind aFGF, designated HSPGP, were 100-fold superior to heparin in augmenting the mitogenic efficacy of aFGF in sparse proliferating cultures. In contrast, however, 35S-HSPG, which did not bind aFGF, designated HSPG1, inhibited aFGF-stimulated proliferation in both sparse and subconfluent endothelial cell cultures. The majority of the biological activity of both aFGF-potentiating HSPGP and aFGF-inhibitory HSPG1 was contained in the glycosaminoglycan chains released by alkaline borohydride treatment of intact HSPGP or HSPG1, respectively. 3H-Core protein derived from HSPGP or HSPG1 contained only minor biological activity. The ability of heparitinase or heparinase (Flavobacterium heparinum) to abolish biological activity differed, depending upon the HSPG tested, also suggested that these are two distinct HSPGs. 相似文献

We have investigated whether isolated mouse hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC) synthesized basic FGF. HSEC lysate was fractionated by heparin-Sepharose chromatography. A peak of mitogenic activity for Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts was eluted with 3M NaCl. Several arguments suggested that the mitogenic factor was related to bFGF: a) its affinity for heparin; b) the loss of its mitogenic activity by heating at 65 degrees C, which was prevented in the presence of heparin; c) the abolition of its mitogenic activity in the presence of protamine sulfate; d) finally, its mitogenic effect was reduced in the presence of antibody to bFGF. These data demonstrate the presence of a bFGF-like molecule in HSEC. This molecule could be involved in the regulation of the neighboring Ito cell proliferation. 相似文献

This study reports on the effects of heparin, basic and acidic fibroblast growth factors (bFGF and aFGF, respectively), and transforming growth factor type-e (TGFe) on the growth of a human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line, SW-13. Heparin has previously been shown to inhibit growth in several cell types, including smooth muscle cells, certain fibroblasts, and epithelial cells, and to modulate the effects of fibroblast growth factors. Whereas bFGF and aFGF bind tightly to heparin and elute from a heparin-Sepharose column with 2 M NaCl and 1.6 M NaCl, respectively, TGFe binds to heparin with lower affinity and can be eluted from heparin-Sepharose column with 0.5 M NaCl. TGFe is a polypeptide unrelated to FGF, is present in neoplastic and nonneoplastic tissues, and stimulates the growth of certain epithelial cells and fibroblasts in soft agar and monolayer. Since the growth of SW-13 cells is stimulated by TGFe and by bFGF, we hypothesized that heparin would inhibit the growth of SW-13 cells by binding to these growth factors and that the effects of heparin could be overcome with the addition of either growth factor. Our experiments confirmed that heparin inhibits the growth of SW-13 cells. A dose-dependent growth inhibition was observed in both monolayer and soft agar. The inhibition in monolayer was partially reversed upon heparin withdrawal. The effects of heparin in both monolayer and soft agar were at least partially overcome by TGFe and by basic or acidic FGF. Overall protein synthesis does not appear to be affected by heparin as measured by [35S]methionine uptake. In contrast, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) were unable to overcome heparin-induced inhibition both in monolayer and in soft agar. Heparin also inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation in AKR-2B and partially inhibited AKR-2B cell stimulation by TGFe; however, it further potentiated the already potent stimulation by bFGF. We propose that heparin, TGFe, bFGF, and aFGF modulate the growth of SW-13 cells and possibly of other epithelial cells in complex ways and that heparin-like substances present in the extracellular matrix play an important role in the control of epithelial growth. 相似文献

Bovine retina contains three growth factor activities with different affinity to heparin: eye derived growth factor I, II, III 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Several ocular tissues have been shown to contain growth factor activity designated under a generic name as Eye Derived Growth Factor. Purification from bovine retina was undertaken and a fraction which could induce target cells to proliferate at doses of 5 ng per ml of culture medium was obtained. Using heparin sepharose chromatography we now show that this mitogenic activity can be fractionated into three different activities. Crude extract of bovine retina used as starting material was separated into two major fractions, one with no affinity for heparin and which was named Eye Derived Growth Factor III, and one with a strong affinity for heparin and eluted from the column with 1.4 M NaCl named Eye Derived Growth Factor I. This fraction EDGF I induces cell proliferation at doses of 100 pg/ml of culture medium. A 10(5) fold purification was achieved by this single chromatography step. Cibacron Blue purified EDGF was also further fractionated by heparin sepharose. All biological activity was found to bind to heparin. One fraction eluted at 1 M NaCl named Eye Derived Growth Factor II had a biological activity at doses of 1 ng while the other growth factor was the EDGF I with biological activity at 25 pg. At this step of purification EDGF I runs as a single band on SDS polyacrylamide gel at a molecular weight of 17 000 d. These data strongly suggest that Eye Derived Growth Factors I and II are respectively similar to Brain Fibroblast Growth Factor and to Endothelial Cell Growth Factor from hypothalamus. 相似文献

Variations in sulfation of heparan sulfate (HS) affect interaction with FGF, FGFR, and FGF-HS-FGFR signaling complexes. Whether structurally distinct HS motifs are at play is unclear. Here we used stabilized recombinant FGF7 as a bioaffinity matrix to purify size-defined heparin oligosaccharides. We show that only 0.2%-4% of 6 to 14 unit oligosaccharides, respectively, have high affinity for FGF7 based on resistance to salt above 0.6M NaCl. The high affinity fractions exhibit highest specific activity for interaction with FGFR2IIIb and formation of complexes of FGF7-HS-FGFR2IIIb. The majority fractions with moderate (0.30-0.6M NaCl), low (0.14-0.30M NaCl) or no affinity at 0.14M NaCl for FGF7 supported no complex formation. The high affinity octasaccharide mixture exhibited predominantly 7- and 8-sulfated components (7,8-S-OctaF7) and formed FGF7-HS-FGFR2IIIb complexes with highest specific activity. Deduced disaccharide analysis indicated that 7,8-S-OctaF7 comprised of DeltaHexA2SGlcN6S in a 2:1 ratio to a trisulfated and a variable unsulfated or monosulfated disaccharide. The inactive octasaccharides with moderate affinity for FGF7 were much more heterogenous and highly sulfated with major components containing 11 or 12 sulfates comprised of predominantly trisulfated disaccharides. This suggests that a rare undersulfated motif in which sulfate groups are specifically distributed has highest affinity for FGF7. The same motif also exhibits structural requirements for high affinity binding to dimers of FGFR2IIIb prior to binding FGF7 to form FGF7-HS-FGFR2IIIb complexes. In contrast, the majority of more highly sulfated HS motifs likely play FGFR-independent roles in stability and control of access of FGF7 to FGFR2IIIb in the tissue matrix. 相似文献

Previous studies indicated that a major factor in heparin's ability to suppress the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is an interaction with transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1). Heparin appeared to bind directly to TGF-beta 1 and to prevent the association of TGF-beta 1 with alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2-M). The present studies indicate that 20-70% of iodinated TGF-beta 1 binds to heparin-Sepharose and the retained fraction is eluted with approximately 0.37 M NaCl. Native, unlabelled platelet TGF-beta 1, however, is completely retained by heparin-Sepharose and eluted with 0.9-1.2 M NaCl. Using synthetic peptides, the regions of TGF-beta 1 that might be involved in the binding of heparin and other polyanions were examined. Sequence analysis of TGF-beta 1 indicated three regions with a high concentration of basic residues. Two of these regions had the basic residues arranged in a pattern homologous to reported consensus heparin-binding regions of other proteins. The third constituted a structurally novel pattern of basic residues. Synthetic peptides homologous to these three regions, but not to other regions of TGF-beta 1, were found to bind to heparin-Sepharose and were eluted with 0.15 M-0.30 M NaCl. Only two of these regions were capable of blocking the binding of heparin to 125I-TGF-beta. Immobilization of these peptides, followed by affinity purification of heparin, indicated that one peptide was capable of isolating subspecies of heparin with high and low affinity for authentic TGF-beta 1. The ability of TGF-beta 1 to bind to heparin or related proteoglycans under physiological conditions may be useful in understanding the biology of this pluripotent growth and metabolic signal. Conversely, a subspecies of heparin molecules with high affinity for TGF-beta 1 may be a factor in some of the diverse biological actions of heparin. 相似文献

Mono- and diacylglycerol lipases are differentially inhibited by heparin. No other glycosaminoglycan resembles heparin in this respect. Mono- and diacylglycerol lipases can be separated by heparin Sepharose affinity chromatography. Diacylglycerol lipase was completely retained on a heparin--Sepharose column and was eluted with either 0.5 M NaCl or 2–5 mg/ml heparin, whereas monoacylglycerol lipase was recovered in the washings. Adenosine phosphates markedly affected the activity of diacylglycerol lipase in a concentration dependent manner. ATP was the most potent inhibitor followed by ADP. AMP had no effect and cAMP slightly stimulated the diacylglycerol lipase. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine kinase Csk requires two Mg2+ ions for activity: one magnesium is part of the ATP-Mg complex, and the second free Mg2+ ion is required as an essential activator. Zn2+ can bind to this site to replace Mg2+, which inhibits Csk kinase activity. The binding is reversible and removal of Zn2+ results in an active Csk apoenzyme. In this communication, we report that this tight binding can be used as a mechanism for affinity purification of Csk. When bacterial cell lysate containing overexpressed GST-Csk was applied to a column of Zn2+-iminodiacetic acid immobilized to agarose, Csk was specifically retained by the column. Since the binding of Csk to Zn2+ is not affected by up to 200 mM NaCl, high ionic strength conditions were used in the purification procedure, minimizing nonspecific binding due to ionic interactions. Washing the column with 200 mM NaCl and 50 mM imidazole removed virtually all other proteins from the column while Csk remained bound. The retained Csk enzyme was eluted with 1 M imidazole. The 1 M imidazole-eluted fraction contained pure Csk that had a specific activity similar to the enzyme purified by a glutathione-agarose affinity column. 相似文献

Lectin affinity chromatography of proteins bearing O-linked oligosaccharides: application of jacalin-agarose. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The lectin jacalin immobilized on agarose was found to bind a variety of glycoproteins known to contain typical O-linked oligosaccharides, including human IgA, C1 inhibitor, chorionic gonadotropin, plasminogen, bovine protein Z, bovine coagulation factor X, and fetuin. These proteins were eluted from columns of jacalin-agarose specifically by alpha-galactopyranosides such as melibiose and alpha-methylgalactopyranoside but not by lactose or other sugars. Treatment of asialofetuin with endo--alpha--N--acetylgalactosaminidase eliminated its affinity for the lectin column, and other proteins known to contain only N-linked oligosaccharides such as ovalbumin, transferrin, and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein were not retained by the lectin. Binding of proteins with O-linked oligosaccharides to the lectin column did not require divalent cations and was affected little by changes in pH and ionic strength over a wide range. Virtually all of the glycosidically linked oligosaccharides of fetuin, chorionic gonadotropin, and plasminogen are known to be sialated. Thus, binding of these glycoproteins to jacalin, which is known to have affinity for the core disaccharide, 1-beta-galactopyranosyl-3-(alpha-2-acetamido-2-deoxygalactopyranoside ), in O-linked oligosaccharides of these proteins, was not prevented by the presence of sialic acids. Affinity of oligosaccharides for jacalin did appear to be reduced by occurrence of sialic acids as it was found that higher concentrations of melibiose were required to elute asialofetuin than fetuin from jacalin-agarose. Results of the present study indicate that affinity chromatography using this lectin is a widely applicable technique for identifying and purifying proteins bearing O-linked oligosaccharides. 相似文献

A series of oligosaccharides has been isolated from the keratan sulphate peptidoglycan (3 M NaCl fraction) of bovine cornea after digestion with the endo-beta-galactosidase of Bacteroides fragilis. Structural information on the major oligosaccharides was obtained from (a) their susceptibilities to endo-beta-galactosidase before and after desulphation, (b) their elution positions on a column of Bio-Gel P-4 and retention times on a high-performance anion-exchange column and (c) negative-ion fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry. More than 75% of the oligosaccharides were sulphated unbranched poly(N-acetyllactosamine) sequences, (-3/4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-)n, and approximately 3% was the neutral disaccharide, GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal. The sulphated disaccharide, GlcNAc-SO-3 beta 1-3Gal, accounted for almost 35% of the oligosaccharide material while 40% consisted of four oligosaccharides, unbranched tetra-, hexa-, octa- and decasaccharides of poly(N-acetyllactosamine) type, having 3, 5, 7 and 9 sulphate residues respectively. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance studies at 500 MHz (Hounsell, E. F., et al. following paper in this journal) have shown that a sulphate residue is attached to the C-6 position of each N-acetylglucosamine and each internal galactose residue of these four oligosaccharides which express to varying degrees the antigenic determinants recognised by three monoclonal antibodies to keratan sulphate (Mehmet, H. et al., paper which follows the next paper in this journal). 相似文献

Growth of normal human keratinocytes and fibroblasts in serum-free medium is stimulated by acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Keratinocytes and fibroblasts isolated from human neonatal foreskin can be plated and grown through multiple rounds of division in vitro under defined serum-free conditions. We utilized these growth conditions to examine the mitogenic potential of acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF and bFGF) on these cells. Our results demonstrate that both aFGF and bFGF can stimulate the proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. aFGF is a more potent mitogen than bFGF for keratinocytes. In contrast, bFGF appears to be more potent than aFGF in stimulating the growth of fibroblast cultures. Heparin sulfate (10 micrograms/ml) dramatically inhibited the ability of bFGF to stimulate the proliferation of keratinocytes. In comparison, heparin slightly inhibited the stimulatory effect of aFGF and had no effect on epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation in keratinocyte cultures. In fibroblast cultures the addition of heparin enhanced the mitogenic effect of aFGF, had a minimal stimulatory effect on the mitogenic activity of bFGF, and had no effect on EGF-stimulated growth. Our results demonstrate that the proliferation in vitro of two normal cell types found in the skin can be influenced by aFGF and bFGF and demonstrate cell-type specific differences in the responsiveness of fibroblasts and keratinocytes to these growth factors and heparin. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor expression in human omental microvascular endothelial cells and the effect of phorbol ester. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The human omentum contains a potent, not yet identified angiogenic activity. The omentum is very vascularized. Therefore, we investigated whether human omental microvascular endothelial cells (HOME cells) express the angiogenic peptide basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Cytosol prepared from HOME cells stimulated DNA synthesis in bovine epithelial lens cells (BEL cells). The mitogenic activity could be neutralized by an anti-bFGF antibody. Basic FGF-like material from the HOME cell cytosol was bound onto a heparin-Sepharose column at 0.6 M and was eluted at 3 M NaCl. The 3 M NaCl eluted material reacted with the specific anti-bFGF antibody in an ELISA and stimulated DNA synthesis. It did not react with a specific anti-acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) antibody. Western blotting experiments using the same bFGF antibody showed the presence of a major band of 17 Kd and a doublet of 20-22 Kd. Northern blotting of non-stimulated HOME cells using a specific 1.4 kb bFGF probe showed the presence of 5 molecular species of 6.6, 3.7, 2.2, 2.0, and 1.0 kb. No aFGF mRNA was detected with a specific previously characterized 4.04 kb probe. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) did not influence significantly the expression of bFGF at the protein and mRNA level in HOME cells. Thus, protein kinase C activation by TPA did not appear to modulate significantly the expression of bFGF for that cell type. Contrastingly, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVE cells), which expressed no bFGF and aFGF mRNA at a basal level, were induced to express bFGF but not aFGF mRNA when stimulated by TPA. These results suggest that the described angiogenic activity could be the bFGF-like mitogen contained in HOME cells and that these cells are different from endothelial cells derived from large vessels (HUVE cells) regarding the expression of bFGF. 相似文献

Hyaluronic acid was digested by bovine testicular hyaluronidase, and oligomers were fractionated by gel permeation using AcA 202 Ultrogel, an acrylamide-agarose matrix. Oligosaccharides composed of from two to six disaccharide repeating units were isolated. Two nonasaccharides were prepared by enzymatic or chemical modification of the decasaccharide. Oligosaccharides were compared by a competitive inhibition in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for their ability to inhibit the interaction of hyaluronectin (a hyaluronic acid-binding brain glycoprotein) with hyaluronic acid. Among these oligosaccharides, decasaccharides were the smallest fragments that strongly inhibited the interaction. Octasaccharides inhibited with 700-fold lower affinity than decasaccharides. Dodecasaccharides had the same effect as decasaccharides. Nonasaccharides obtained by beta-glucuronidase splitting of decasaccharides inhibited the interaction more than nonasaccharides prepared by an alkaline treatment. 相似文献
