Purification and properties of an endothelial cell growth factor from human platelets
Abstract
An endothelial cell growth factor has been purified about 1,000,000-fold to homogeneity from human platelets by a seven-step procedure. The purified product has an apparent Mr on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels of 45,000. The mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis was similar in the presence or absence of reducing agents, indicating that the factor consists of a single polypeptide chain. Maximal stimulation by the purified protein was achieved at a concentration of about 20 ng/ml (440 pM). Heparin did not potentiate the activity, nor did the factor bind to heparin immobilized on Sepharose. The purified factor was heat- and acid-labile; it was active on porcine and human endothelial cells, but not on human foreskin fibroblasts. Chromatofocusing revealed that the pI of the factor was 4.6. The structural and functional characteristics of the platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor are distinct from previously characterized endothelial cell mitogens with affinities for heparin.
