Proteoglycan synthesis in haematopoietic cells: isolation and characterization of heparan sulphate proteoglycans expressed by the bone-marrow stromal cell line MS-5.

ABSTRACT: Proteoglycans of bone-marrow stromal cells and their extracellular matrix are important components of the haematopoietic microenvironment. Recently, several studies have indicated that they are involved in the interaction of haematopoietic stem and stromal cells. However, a detailed characterization of the heparan sulphate proteoglycans synthesized by bone-marrow stromal cells is still lacking. Here we report on the isolation and characterization of proteoglycans from the haematopoietic stromal cell line MS-5, that efficiently supports the growth and differentiation of human and murine haematopoietic progenitor cells. Biochemical characterization of purified proteoglycans revealed that the haematopoietic stromal cell line MS-5 synthesizes, in addition to chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans, several different heparan sulphate proteoglycans. Immunochemical analysis, using specific antibodies against the different members of the syndecan family, glypican, betaglycan and perlecan, showed that MS-5 cells synthesize all these different heparan sulphate proteoglycans. These data were further supported by reverse-transcriptase PCR and confirmed by sequence and Northern blot analysis. The relative abundance of the different heparan sulphate proteoglycans was estimated on the protein and mRNA levels.

Project description:The heparan sulphate (HS) proteoglycans associated with the cell layer of a rat osteosarcoma cell line [UMR 106-01 (BSP)] were compared with similar cell-associated proteoglycans from other cells, and their interaction with the plasma membrane was studied. HS proteoglycans were metabolically labelled by incubation of cell cultures with [3H]glucosamine or [3H]leucine and [35S]sulphate. HS proteoglycan core protein preparation generated by heparitinase digestion of the major species from UMR 106-01 (BSP) cells co-migrated on PAGE with identical preparations from ovarian granulosa cells and parathyroid cells (at approximately 70 kDa). The hydrophobic nature of the major HS proteoglycans from these diverse cell lines, based on elution position from octyl-Sepharose, were also comparable. Linkages of the HS proteoglycan to the cell membrane were investigated by labelling plasma-membrane preparations with a lipid soluble photoactivatable reagent, 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3- (m-[125I]iodophenyl)diazirine (TID), which selectively labels plasma-membrane-spanning peptide domains. Purified HS proteoglycan from UMR 106-01 (BSP) cells was shown to be accessible to the [125I]TID, and the core protein portion of the molecule was labelled, confirming its close association with the plasma membrane. Approx. 36% of 35S-labelled HS proteoglycans were released from the cell surface by phospholipase C (Bacillus thuringiensis), which specifically cleaves phosphatidylinositol-linked proteins. In the presence of insulin, the metabolism of the phospholipase C-sensitive population was unaltered; however, release of the phospholipase C-insensitive population into the medium was increased. These data indicate that a subpopulation of HS proteoglycans are covalently bound to the plasma membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol structure, with the remainder representing those species directly inserted into the plasma membrane via a hydrophobic peptide domain. These observations are similar to those reported for ovarian granulosa cells [Yanagishita & McQuillan (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264 17551-17558], and thus may represent a general phenomenon for many cell types.
