Heparan Sulfate Domains Required for Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 and 2 Signaling through Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1c.

ABSTRACT: A small library of well defined heparan sulfate (HS) polysaccharides was chemoenzymatically synthesized and used for a detailed structure-activity study of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 1 and FGF2 signaling through FGF receptor (FGFR) 1c. The HS polysaccharide tested contained both undersulfated (NA) domains and highly sulfated (NS) domains as well as very well defined non-reducing termini. This study examines differences in the HS selectivity of the positive canyons of the FGF12-FGFR1c2 and FGF22-FGFR1c2 HS binding sites of the symmetric FGF2-FGFR2-HS2 signal transduction complex. The results suggest that FGF12-FGFR1c2 binding site prefers a longer NS domain at the non-reducing terminus than FGF22-FGFR1c2 In addition, FGF22-FGFR1c2 can tolerate an HS chain having an N-acetylglucosamine residue at its non-reducing end. These results clearly demonstrate the different specificity of FGF12-FGFR1c2 and FGF22-FGFR1c2 for well defined HS structures and suggest that it is now possible to chemoenzymatically synthesize precise HS polysaccharides that can selectively mediate growth factor signaling. These HS polysaccharides might be useful in both understanding and controlling the growth, proliferation, and differentiation of cells in stem cell therapies, wound healing, and the treatment of cancer.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 induces hypertrophy and calcium (Ca2+) dysregulation in cardiomyocytes, leading to cardiac arrhythmia and heart failure. However, knowledge regarding the effects of FGF-23 on cardiac fibrogenesis remains limited. This study investigated whether FGF-23 modulates cardiac fibroblast activity and explored its underlying mechanisms. We performed MTS analysis, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay, and wound-healing assay in cultured human atrial fibroblasts without and with FGF-23 (1, 5 and 25 ng/mL for 48 h) to analyze cell proliferation and migration. We found that FGF-23 (25 ng/mL, but not 1 or 5 ng/mL) increased proliferative and migratory abilities of human atrial fibroblasts. Compared to control cells, FGF-23 (25 ng/mL)-treated fibroblasts had a significantly higher Ca2+ entry and intracellular inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) level (assessed by fura-2 ratiometric Ca2+ imaging and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Western blot analysis showed that FGF-23 (25 ng/mL)-treated cardiac fibroblasts had higher expression levels of calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (Orai1) and transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) 1 channel, but similar expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin, collagen type IA1, collagen type Ⅲ, stromal interaction molecule 1, TRPC 3, TRPC6 and phosphorylated-calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II when compared with control fibroblasts. In the presence of ethylene glycol tetra-acetic acid (a free Ca2+ chelator, 1 mM) or U73122 (an inhibitor of phospholipase C, 1 μM), control and FGF-23-treated fibroblasts exhibited similar proliferative and migratory abilities. Moreover, polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that atrial fibroblasts abundantly expressed FGF receptor 1 but lacked expressions of FGF receptors 2-4. FGF-23 significantly increased the phosphorylation of FGF receptor 1. Treatment with PD166866 (an antagonist of FGF receptor 1, 1 μM) attenuated the effects of FGF-23 on cardiac fibroblast activity. In conclusion, FGF-23 may activate FGF receptor 1 and subsequently phospholipase C/IP3 signaling pathway, leading to an upregulation of Orai1 and/or TRPC1-mediated Ca2+ entry and thus enhancing human atrial fibroblast activity.
