Sulfated malto-oligosaccharides bind to basic FGF, inhibit endothelial cell proliferation, and disrupt endothelial cell tube formation.

Abstract：

:The interaction of basic FGF (bFGF) with heparin, heparan sulfate and related sugars can potentiate or antagonize bFGF activity, depending on the size of the saccharide used. Oligosaccharides based on heparin structures, as small as six sugar residues, have been demonstrated to bind to bFGF and block its activity, while larger structures (> 10 sugar residues) tend to potentiate bFGF. In this study we have synthesized a series of compounds designed to test the requirements of size and sulfation for binding of oligosaccharides to bFGF. These oligosaccharides are not derived from heparin, but rather, are linear chains of glucose linked alpha 1-4 (malto-oligosaccharides) that have been chemically sulfated. In addition to bFGF binding, these compounds were tested for their ability to block basic functions of endothelial cells that are known to be mediated, at least in part, by bFGF. We report that the ability of sulfated malto-oligosaccharides to block binding of bFGF to heparan sulfate was dependent on the size (at least a tetrasaccharide is required), and the degree of sulfation. The activity profile in the bFGF ELISA closely correlated with the ability of these compounds to block REEC or HMVEC tube formation on Matrigel. There was a similar relationship of size and sulfation to the ability of the sulfated malto-oligosaccharides to inhibit endothelial cell growth for most human and rat EC types tested. The single exception was REEC cell growth. One isolate of these cells was stimulated by sulfated malto-oligosaccharides rather than inhibited by them, while a second isolate was neither stimulated nor inhibited. This stimulation showed no correlation with inhibition of bFGF binding in the ELISA assay, suggesting that growth of this cell type was probably not dependent on bFGF. Compounds derived from this series of sulfated, malto-oligosaccharides have the potential to function as bFGF antagonists, are relatively easy to produce, and possess relatively low anticoagulant properties.
