Abstract

Endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and migration are important for reendothelialization and angiogenesis. We have demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from the small GTPase Rac1-dependent NAD(P)H oxidase are involved in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated endothelial responses mainly through the VEGF type2 receptor (VEGFR2). Little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. IQGAP1 is a scaffolding protein that controls cellular motility and morphogenesis by interacting directly with cytoskeletal, cell adhesion, and small G proteins, including Rac1. In this study, we show that IQGAP1 is robustly expressed in ECs and binds to the VEGFR2. A pulldown assay using purified proteins demonstrates that IQGAP1 directly interacts with active VEGFR2. In cultured ECs, VEGF stimulation rapidly promotes recruitment of Rac1 to IQGAP1, which inducibly binds to VEGFR2 and which, in turn, is associated with tyrosine phosphorylation of IQGAP1. Endogenous IQGAP1 knockdown by siRNA shows that IQGAP1 is involved in VEGF-stimulated ROS production, Akt phosphorylation, endothelial migration, and proliferation. Wound assays reveal that IQGAP1 and phosphorylated VEGFR2 accumulate and colocalize at the leading e...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.
