Abstract

Endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and migration are important for reendothelialization and angiogenesis. We have demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from the small GTPase Rac1-dependent NAD(P)H oxidase are involved in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated endothelial responses mainly through the VEGF type2 receptor (VEGFR2). Little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. IQGAP1 is a scaffolding protein that controls cellular motility and morphogenesis by interacting directly with cytoskeletal, cell adhesion, and small G proteins, including Rac1. In this study, we show that IQGAP1 is robustly expressed in ECs and binds to the VEGFR2. A pulldown assay using purified proteins demonstrates that IQGAP1 directly interacts with active VEGFR2. In cultured ECs, VEGF stimulation rapidly promotes recruitment of Rac1 to IQGAP1, which inducibly binds to VEGFR2 and which, in turn, is associated with tyrosine phosphorylation of IQGAP1. Endogenous IQGAP1 knockdown by siRNA shows that IQGAP1 is involved in VEGF-stimulated ROS production, Akt phosphorylation, endothelial migration, and proliferation. Wound assays reveal that IQGAP1 and phosphorylated VEGFR2 accumulate and colocalize at the leading edge in actively migrating ECs. Moreover, we found that IQGAP1 expression is dramatically increased in the VEGFR2-positive regenerating EC layer in balloon-injured rat carotid artery. These results suggest that IQGAP1 functions as a VEGFR2-associated scaffold protein to organize ROS-dependent VEGF signaling, thereby promoting EC migration and proliferation, which may contribute to repair and maintenance of the functional integrity of established blood vessels.

摘要

内皮细胞(EC)的增殖和迁移对于再内皮化和血管生成至关重要。我们已经证明,源自小GTP酶Rac1依赖性NAD(P)H氧化酶的活性氧(ROS)主要通过血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)2型受体(VEGFR2)参与VEGF介导的内皮反应。但其潜在的分子机制尚不清楚。IQGAP1是一种支架蛋白,通过直接与细胞骨架、细胞粘附分子以及包括Rac1在内的小G蛋白相互作用来控制细胞运动和形态发生。在本研究中,我们发现IQGAP1在EC中大量表达并与VEGFR2结合。使用纯化蛋白进行的下拉实验表明IQGAP1直接与活性VEGFR2相互作用。在培养的EC中,VEGF刺激迅速促进Rac1募集到IQGAP1,IQGAP1可诱导性地与VEGFR2结合,进而与IQGAP1的酪氨酸磷酸化相关。通过小干扰RNA敲低内源性IQGAP1表明,IQGAP1参与VEGF刺激的ROS产生、Akt磷酸化、内皮细胞迁移和增殖。伤口实验显示,IQGAP1和磷酸化的VEGFR2在活跃迁移的EC的前沿积累并共定位。此外,我们发现IQGAP1的表达在球囊损伤的大鼠颈动脉中VEGFR2阳性的再生EC层中显著增加。这些结果表明,IQGAP1作为一种与VEGFR2相关的支架蛋白,组织ROS依赖性的VEGF信号传导,从而促进EC迁移和增殖,这可能有助于已建立血管功能完整性的修复和维持。
