Vascular smooth muscle cell detachment from elastin and migration through elastic laminae is promoted by chondroitin sulfate-induced "shedding" of the 67-kDa cell surface elastin binding protein.

Abstract：

:Impaired elastin fiber assembly is observed in the fetal ductus arteriosus (DA), associated with a reduced concentration of elastin binding protein (EBP), a 67-kDa galactolectin. It is also seen in cultured aortic (Ao) smooth muscle cells (SMC) following the release of the EBP by glycosaminoglycans rich in N-acetylgalactosamine, such as chondroitin sulfate (CS). In the DA, impaired elastin fiber assembly is observed in conjunction with intimal thickening associated with increased migration of SMC into the subendothelium, a feature we previously related to increased production of fibronectin. In this report, we determined whether SMC use the EBP to attach to an elastin substrate, whether shedding of the EBP promotes SMC migration through a three-dimensional network of pure elastic laminae prepared from sheep aorta, and whether the latter is associated with increased production of fibronectin. We observed reduced attachment to elastin-coated surfaces of DA SMC deficient in EBP compared to Ao SMC. Addition of CS but not heparan sulfate (a glycosaminoglycan which does not induce EBP shedding) decreased Ao SMC attachment to elastin, as did preincubation with VGVAPG elastin-derived peptides which saturate the EBP. The immunolocalization of cell surface EBP suggested that cells can quickly replace EBP released from their surfaces by CS treatment. The magnitude of CS-induced impaired attachment of SMC to elastin was dose dependent and could be further increased by the administration of cyclohexamide and sodium azide. Also, the reversibility of CS-induced detachment was prevented by monensin. This suggests that a process of new synthesis and intracellular transport of the EBP was necessary to replace the EBP molecules released from the cell surface by CS treatment. In the migration assay, both DA and Ao SMC attached to the top of an elastin membrane, but only DA SMC deficient in EBP migrated through the laminae. Addition of CS, which induced shedding of EBP, resulted in Ao SMC migration associated with increased synthesis of fibronectin. We postulate that CS-induced release of EBP from SMC surfaces causes cell detachment from elastin and an increase in fibronectin synthesis, processes which may be critical in promoting SMC migration associated with intimal thickening developmentally in the DA and perhaps also in vascular disease.
