Effect of extracellular matrix glycation on endothelial cell adhesion and spreading: involvement of vitronectin

Diabetes
I W BobbinkP G de Groot

Abstract

Glycation of proteins of the vessel wall is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular complications in diabetes by affecting structure and function of these proteins. Adhesive proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of endothelial cells (ECs) are essential for attachment of ECs to the subintima. In this study, we investigated the effect of glycation of ECM and purified adhesive proteins on EC adhesion and spreading. ECM was incubated with the reactive sugar glucose-6-phosphate (0-500 mmol/l) for different time periods (0-14 days) at 37 degrees C. Degree of glycation, measured in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a monoclonal antibody specific for advanced glycation end products, increased in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Glycation of ECM with 50 mmol/l glucose-6-phosphate resulted in increased coverage by ECs as measured in a cell adhesion assay and was the result of an increase in number of adhered cells, while cell size was unaffected. Glycation of ECM with higher concentrations of glucose-6-phosphate resulted in decreased coverage by ECs caused by both a reduction in number of adhered ECs and impaired spreading. Experiments with purified glycated matrix proteins indicate that...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
