چکیده

Endothelial cell adhesive interactions are mediated by both fibrinogen and fibrin, and growth is stimulated by fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2). We have shown previously that FGF-2 binds specifically and with high affinity to fibrinogen and fibrin and that fibrinogen potentiates the proliferative capacity of FGF-2 and also protects it from proteolytic degradation. To further characterize this interaction we have performed FGF-2 mutagenesis to identify the interactive site. Because FGF-1 has a similar structure to FGF-2 but does not bind to fibrinogen, we used a strategy of cassette and site-directed mutagenesis, exchanging residues from FGF-1 and FGF-2 and correlating structural changes with fibrinogen binding. Two cassette interchange mutants, 2212 and 2211, contained either the third cassette or both the third and fourth cassettes from FGF-1, and neither exhibited any affinity for fibrinogen. Exchange of 5 residues (Phe95, Ser100, Asn102, Arg107, and Arg109) from FGF-2 into the corresponding sites in the third cassette of FGF-1 imparted high-affinity binding with apparent dissociation constants (Kd) of 5.3 nM and 8.6 nM, respectively, compared with 1.3 nM for wild-type FGF-2. We conclude that these 5 residues define a high-affinity binding site in FGF-2 for fibrinogen.

HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY FGF-2 binding to fibrin(ogen) is required for augmented angiogenesis

We have shown previously that fibrin(ogen) binds fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and potentiates stimulation of endothelial-cell (EC) proliferation. We have now used 2 FGF-2 mutants differing only in the 5 residues constituting the binding site to characterize the importance of this interaction in angiogenesis. The nonbinding (2212) and binding (221*2) mutants stimulated EC proliferation by ...

HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Interleukin-1 but not IL-1 binds to fibrinogen and fibrin and has enhanced activity in the bound form

Fibrin is formed at sites of injury or inflammation and provides the temporary matrix to support vascular cell responses that are also mediated by cytokines including interleukin-1 (IL-1). We have shown previously that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) binds with high affinity to fibrin(ogen). Because IL-1 has a structure similar to FGF-2, we have investigated the possible binding of IL-1 to f...

Stimulation of endothelial cell proliferation by FGF-2 in the presence of fibrinogen requires v 3

We have shown previously that fibrin(ogen) binding potentiates the capacity of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) to stimulate endothelial cell (EC) proliferation. We have now investigated the receptor requirement for EC proliferation by fibrinogenbound FGF-2. ECs were cultured with 25 ng/mL FGF-2 with or without 10 g/mL fibrinogen, and proliferation was measured as 3H-thymidine incorporation. ...

Fibrinogen Binding to Human Platelets*

Platelet-activating factor 1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-englycero-3-phosphocholine (PAF-acether) triggers exposure of fibrinogen binding sites on platelets via binding to specific receptors. Comparison of 13H]PAFacether binding with lZ8I-fibrinogen binding shows that the rate with which PAF-acether binds to a number of receptors and not the degree of receptor occupancy determines how much fibrinogen bin...
