Fibroblast growth factor-binding protein (FGF-BP) 1 is a secreted protein that can bind fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) 1 and 2. These FGFs are typically stored on heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix in an inactive form, and it has been proposed that FGF-BP1 functions as a chaperone molecule that can mobilize locally stored FGF and present the growth factor to its tyrosine kinase receptor. FGF-BP1 is up-regulated in squamous cell, colon, and breast cancers and can act as an angiogenic switch during malignant progression of epithelial cells. For the present studies, we focused on FGF-1 and -2 and investigated interactions with recombinant human FGF-BP1 protein as well as effects on signal transduction, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. We show that recombinant FGF-BP1 specifically binds FGF-2 and that this binding is inhibited by FGF-1, heparan sulfate, and heparinoids. Furthermore, FGF-BP1 enhances FGF-1- and FGF-2-dependent proliferation of NIH-3T3 fibroblasts and FGF-2-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 phosphorylation. Finally, in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane angiogenesis assay, FGF-BP1 synergizes with exogenously added FGF-2. We conclude that FGF-BP1 binds directly to FGF-1 and FGF-2 and positively modulates the biological activities of these growth factors. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor-binding proteins (FGF-BP) are secreted carrier proteins that release fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) from the extracellular matrix storage and thus enhance FGF activity. Here we have mapped the interaction domain between human FGF-BP1 and FGF-2. For this, we generated T7 phage display libraries of N-terminally and C-terminally truncated FGF-BP1 fragments that were then panned against immobilized FGF-2. From this panning, a C-terminal fragment of FGF-BP1 (amino acids 193-234) was identified as the minimum binding domain for FGF. As a recombinant protein, this C-terminal fragment binds to FGF-2 and enhances FGF-2-induced signaling in NIH-3T3 fibroblasts and GM7373 endothelial cells, as well as mitogenesis and chemotaxis of NIH-3T3 cells. The FGF interaction domain in FGF-BP1 is distinct from the heparin-binding domain (amino acids 110-143), and homology modeling supports the notion of a distinct domain in the C terminus that is conserved across different species. This domain also contains conserved positioning of cysteine residues with the Cys-214/Cys-222 positions in the human protein predicted to participate in disulfide bridge formation. Phage display of a C214A mutation of FGF-BP1 reduced binding to FGF-2, indicating the functional significance of this disulfide bond. We concluded that the FGF interaction domain is contained in the C terminus of FGF-BP1. 相似文献

CD2AP/CIN85 balance determines receptor tyrosine kinase signaling response in podocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Defects in podocyte signaling are the basis of many inherited glomerular diseases leading to glomerulosclerosis. CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) is highly expressed in podocytes and is considered to play an important role in the maintenance of the glomerular slit diaphragm. Mice deficient for CD2AP (CD2AP(-/-)) appear normal at birth but develop a rapid onset nephrotic syndrome at 3 weeks of age. We demonstrate that impaired intracellular signaling with subsequent podocyte damage is the reason for this delayed podocyte injury in CD2AP(-/-) mice. We document that CD2AP deficiency in podocytes leads to diminished signal initiation and termination of signaling pathways mediated by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). In addition, we demonstrate that CIN85, a paralog of CD2AP, is involved in termination of RTK signaling in podocytes. CIN85 protein expression is increased in CD2AP(-/-) podocytes in vitro. Stimulation of CD2AP(-/-) podocytes with various growth factors, including insulin-like growth factor 1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and fibroblast growth factor, resulted in a significantly decreased phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT and ERK signaling response. Moreover, increased CIN85 protein is detectable in podocytes in diseased CD2AP(-/-) mice, leading to decreased base-line activation of ERK and decreased phosphorylation after growth factor stimulation in vivo. Because repression of CIN85 protein leads to a restored RTK signaling response, our results support an important role of CD2AP/CIN85 protein balance in the normal signaling response of podocytes. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor-binding protein is a novel partner for perlecan protein core 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Perlecan, a widespread heparan sulfate proteoglycan, functions as a bioactive reservoir for growth factors by stabilizing them against misfolding or proteolysis. These factors, chiefly members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) gene family, are coupled to the N-terminal heparan sulfate chains, which augment high affinity binding and receptor activation. However, rather little is known about biological partners of the protein core. The major goal of this study was to identify novel proteins that interact with the protein core of perlecan. Using the yeast two-hybrid system and domain III of perlecan as bait, we screened approximately 0.5 10(6) cDNA clones from a keratinocyte library and identified a strongly interactive clone. This cDNA corresponded to FGF-binding protein (FGF-BP), a secreted protein previously shown to bind acidic and basic FGF and to modulate their activities. Using a panel of deletion mutants, FGF-BP binding was localized to the second EGF repeat of domain III, a region very close to the binding site for FGF7. FGF-BP could be coimmunoprecipitated with an antibody against perlecan and bound in solution to recombinant domain III-alkaline phosphatase fusion protein. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed colocalization of FGF-BP and perlecan in the pericellular stroma of various squamous cell carcinomas suggesting a potential in vivo interaction. Thus, FGF-BP should be considered a novel biological ligand for perlecan, an interaction that could influence cancer growth and tissue remodeling. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) has a relevant role in the origin and maintenance of glomerulosclerosis and tubule-interstitial fibrosis. TGF-beta and Ras signaling pathways are closely related: TGF-beta1 overcomes Ras mitogenic effects and Ras counteracts TGF-beta signaling. Tubule-interstitial fibrosis is associated to increases in Ras, Erk, and Akt activation in a renal fibrosis model. We study the role of N- and H-Ras isoforms, and the involvement of the Ras effectors Erk and Akt, in TGF-beta1-mediated extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and proliferation, using embrionary fibroblasts from double knockout (KO) mice for H- and N-Ras (H-ras(-/-)/N-ras(-/-)) isoforms and from heterozygote mice (H-ras(+/-)/N-ras(+/-)). ECM synthesis is increased in basal conditions in H-ras(-/-)/N-ras(-/-) fibroblasts, this increase being higher after stimulation with TGF-beta1. TGF-beta1-induced fibroblast proliferation is smaller in H-ras(-/-)/N-ras(-/-) than in H-ras(+/-)/N-ras(+/-) fibroblasts. Erk activation is decreased in H-ras(-/-)/N-ras(-/-) fibroblasts; inhibition of Erk activation reduces fibroblast proliferation. Akt activation is higher in double KO fibroblasts than in heterozygotes; inhibition of Akt activation also inhibits ECM synthesis. We suggest that H- and N-Ras isoforms downregulate ECM synthesis, and mediate proliferation, in part through MEK/Erk activation. PI3K-Akt pathway activation may be involved in the increase in ECM synthesis observed in the absence of H- and N-Ras. 相似文献

Targeted disruption of the Tab1 gene causes embryonic lethality and defects in cardiovascular and lung morphogenesis 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily consists of a group of secreted signaling molecules that perform important roles in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. TGF-beta activated kinase-1 binding protein-1 (TAB1) was identified as a molecule that activates TGF-beta activated kinase-1 (TAK1). Recent studies have revealed that the TAB1-TAK1 interaction plays an important role in signal transduction in vitro, but little is known about the role of these molecules in vivo. To investigate the role of TAB1 during development, we cloned the murine Tab1 gene and disrupted it by homologous recombination. Homozygous Tab1 mutant mice died, exhibiting a bloated appearance with extensive edema and hemorrhage at the late stages of gestation. By histological examinations, it was revealed that mutant embryos exhibited cardiovascular and lung dysmorphogenesis. Tab1 mutant embryonic fibroblast cells displayed drastically reduced TAK1 kinase activities and decreased sensitivity to TGF-beta stimulation. These results indicate a possibility that TAB1 plays an important role in mammalian embryogenesis and is required for TAK1 activation in TGF-beta signaling. 相似文献

A novel role for the adaptor molecule CD2-associated protein in transforming growth factor-beta-induced apoptosis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) is an adaptor molecule involved in T cell receptor signaling and podocyte homeostasis. CD2AP-deficient mice develop nephrotic syndrome and renal failure caused by glomerulosclerosis. Here we report that increased transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) expression and apoptosis were present in podocytes at the onset of albuminuria and were followed by depletion of podocytes associated with progressive focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis in CD2AP-/- mice. Conditionally immortalized podocytes derived from CD2AP-/- mice were more susceptible to TGF-beta-induced apoptosis compared with CD2AP+/+ podocytes. Reconstitution of CD2AP rescued CD2AP-/- podocytes from TGF-beta-induced apoptosis. CD2AP was required for early activation of anti-apoptotic phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 by TGF-beta. In contrast, activation of pro-apoptotic p38 MAPK by TGF-beta was accelerated and enhanced in the absence of CD2AP. CD2AP was not required for PI3K/AKT activation by insulin and epidermal growth factor, indicating that CD2AP is a selective mediator of anti-apoptotic TGF-beta signaling. In summary, we identified CD2AP as a novel mediator for selective activation of survival pathways and repression of apoptosis signaling by TGF-beta in podocytes. Together, our in vitro and in vivo findings suggest that TGF-beta-induced podocyte apoptosis is an early pathomechanism in mice developing focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis associated with functional impairment of CD2AP. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a potent inhibitor of pancreatic acinar cell growth. Smad4 is a central mediator in the TGF-beta signaling pathway. To study the effect of Smad4 on pancreatic growth, cell cycle protein expression, and the expression of a TGF-beta-responsive promoter in vitro, we constructed an adenovirus containing dominant-negative COOH terminal truncated Smad4 (AddnSmad4) downstream of the rat elastase promoter. Acinar cells expressed dominant-negative Smad4 within 8 h after infection, and expression persisted for 72 h. Mouse pancreatic acini were infected with either AddnSmad4 or control adenovirus expressing green fluorescent protein, and TGF-beta was added 8 h after infection. Acinar cells were then incubated for 1, 2, or 3 days, and [(3)H]thymidine incorporation was determined. AddnSmad4 significantly reduced TGF-beta inhibition of [(3)H]thymidine incorporation, with maximal effects on day 3. AddnSmad4 also completely blocked TGF-beta-mediated growth inhibition in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor. We next examined the effects of AddnSmad4 on TGF-beta-induced expression of the cell cycle regulatory proteins p21(Cip1) and p27(Kip1). TGF-beta induced upregulation of p21(Cip1), which was completely blocked by AddnSmad4. AddnSmad4 also inhibited TGF-beta-induced expression of the TGF-beta-responsive luciferase reporter 3TP-Lux. These results show that Smad4 is essential in TGF-beta-mediated signaling in pancreatic acinar cells. 相似文献

A characteristic finding of childhood HIV-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HIV-HUS) is the presence of endothelial injury and microcystic tubular dilation, leading to a rapid progression of the renal disease. We have previously shown that a secreted fibroblast growth factor-binding protein (FGF-BP) is upregulated in kidneys from children affected with HIV-HUS and HIV nephropathy. Here, we sought to determine the potential role of FGF-BP in the pathogenesis of HIV-HUS. By immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization studies, we observed FGF-BP protein and mRNA upregulation in regenerating renal tubular epithelial cells from kidneys of HIV-Tg26 mice with late-stage renal disease, that is, associated with the development of microcystic tubular dilatation and accumulation of FGF-2. Moreover, FGF-BP increased the FGF-2-dependent growth and survival of cultured primary human renal glomerular endothelial cells and enhanced FGF-2-induced MAPK/ERK2 activation, as well as the proliferation of immortalized GM7373 endothelial cells. We propose that HIV-Tg26 mice are a clinically relevant model system to study the role of FGF-BP in the pathogenesis of HIV-associated renal diseases. Furthermore, the upregulation of FGF-BP by regenerating renal tubular epithelial cells may provide a mechanism by which the regenerative and angiogenic activity of FGF-2 in renal capillaries can be modulated in children with HIV-HUS and other renal disease. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) causes growth arrest in epithelial cells and proliferation and morphological transformation in fibroblasts. Despite the ability of TGF-beta to induce various cellular phenotypes, few discernible differences in TGF-beta signaling between cell types have been reported, with the only well-characterized pathway (the Smad cascade) seemingly under identical control. We determined that TGF-beta receptor signaling activates the STE20 homolog PAK2 in mammalian cells. PAK2 activation occurs in fibroblast but not epithelial cell cultures and is independent of Smad2 and/or Smad3. Furthermore, we show that TGF-beta-stimulated PAK2 activity is regulated by Rac1 and Cdc42 and dominant negative PAK2 or morpholino antisense oligonucleotides to PAK2 prevent the morphological alteration observed following TGF-beta addition. Thus, PAK2 represents a novel Smad-independent pathway that differentiates TGF-beta signaling in fibroblast (growth-stimulated) and epithelial cell (growth-inhibited) cultures. 相似文献

The 10T1/2-MRF4 fibroblast/myogenic cell system was used to address the following interrelated questions: whether distinct signaling pathways underlie myogenic inhibition by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta; which of these pathways also up-regulates the fibroblast intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, FIK, a positive regulator of cell proliferation; and whether FIK up-regulation underlies some or all myogenic inhibitory signaling events. The results show that myogenic inhibition in 10T1/2-MRF4 cells, by both bFGF and TGF-beta, requires activation of the Ras/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase/MAP kinase-ERK kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway, and resultant FIK up-regulation. We show that FIK is instrumental in MEK-dependent suppression of acetylcholine receptor channel expression but that MEK activation and FIK up-regulation are not essential to suppression of myosin heavy chain and myotube formation. These data indicate that Ras/MEK/ERK induction of FIK is pivotal to regulation of certain myogenic events by both receptor tyrosine kinases and TGF-beta receptor, and this is also the first demonstration of chronic FIK up-regulation by the TGF-beta receptor family. Furthermore, the results define the physiologic signaling requirements for growth factor-stimulated FIK up-regulation, whereas previous work has concentrated on constitutive FIK up-regulation in cells stably transfected with oncoprotein signaling molecules. This study, together with earlier work showing that FIK positively regulates cell proliferation, establishes this member of the IK channel family as a multifunctional, growth factor-regulated signaling molecule. 相似文献
