IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5 association with endothelial cells: role of C-terminal heparin binding domain

Growth Regul. 1995 Mar;5(1):1-17.

Abstract

IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5, but not the other 4 IGF binding proteins, specifically bound to endothelial cell (EC) monolayers. Charged compounds, such as heparin and heparan sulfate, competed for this binding. Of the 6 IGFBPs, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5 had the greatest heparin affinity. Peptides of 18 amino acids were synthesized, corresponding to a common basic region of IGFBP-3 (P3), IGFBP-5 and IGFBP-6 (P6) which contained a heparin binding sequence. P3 and P6 inhibited IGFBP-3 and -5 binding to endothelial cell monolayers and the peptides bound directly to EC extracellular matrix. This suggested that the C-terminal basic segment of IGFBP-3/-5 is important for the association of the binding protein with the EC monolayer.
