Receptors which bind plasminogen (Pg) have previously been demonstrated in HUVEC. To determine whether the mechanism by which the Pg fragment, angiostatin, inhibits endothelial cell migralion and/or proliferation involves interaction with the Pg receptor, we have performed experiments to analyze the effect of PgKl-3 on binding of intact Pg lo endothelial cells. Intact Pg isoforms I and 2 bind to HUVEC in a concentration-dependent, saturable manner. Binding of both Pgl and Pg2 is inhibited by 6aminohexanioc acid (6-AHA) (60% and 75%). The K1-3 fragment derived from either Pgl or Pg2 also bound to HUVEC in a concentration-dependent, saturable manner, l n contrast to data observed with intact Pg, binding of Pgl K1-3 and Pg2Kl-3 was not dramatically inhibited by 6-AHA (15% and 18%) or benzamidine, suggesting that binding of Pg derived kringles to HUVEC is not primarily lysine binding site dependent. Lack of competition by L-lactose and 3-N-acetylneuramin-lactose suggested that the carbohydrate chain is not responsible for binding to HUVEC. To study the effect of Pg and PgKl-3 on endothelial cell proliferation, incorporation of BrdU was determined. A cytostatic effect was observed with both Pgl and Pg2 (93% and 96%) as well as PglKI-3 and Pg2Kl-3 (68% and 47%). To determine whether PgKl-3 binds to the same site on HUVEC as intact Pg, binding to biotin labelled HUVEC membrane extracts was analyzed. PgKl-3 did not interact with the Pg binding protein suggesting that angiostatin binds to an alternative site on HUVEC and may influence cell proliferation.
