title: Embryonic brain-derived heparan sulfate inhibits cellular membrane binding and biological activity of basic fibroblast growth factor.
abstract: We have investigated the ability of glycosaminoglycans from embryonic chick brain (15 days old) to interact with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). 35SO4 metabolically labeled glycosaminoglycans were purified and separated on DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Material which eluted between 0.20 and 0.35 M NaCl displaced the binding of [125I]bFGF to brain membrane. This activity was dose-dependent and on the basis to its heparinase sensitivity and chondroitinase insensitivity, has been attributed to heparan sulfate. CL-6B-Sepharose chromatography of this material revealed two glycosaminoglycans of molecular masses of about 15,000 and 65,000. Incubation with [125I]bFGF followed or not by heparinase and chondroitinase treatment of electrotransfert from SDS-PAGE revealed that both of these forms correspond to heparan sulfate chains and bind bFGF. In vitro, embryonic brain-derived heparan sulfate inhibited both bFGF induced [3H]thymidine incorporation in CCL39 cells and neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. These results suggest that heparan sulfate play an important function in the control of the biological activity of bFGF during brain development.
