Abstract
Previous studies have shown that a glycoprotein of Mr 47,000 (designated Gp47) is a major biosynthetic product of retinal endothelial cells in vitro (Canfield, Schor, West, Schor & Grant (1987) Biochem. J. 246, 121-129). We now present data indicating that (a) an identical protein is secreted by bovine retinal pericytes, (b) this protein is plasminogen activator inhibitor-type I (PAI-1), as revealed by immunoprecipitation with specific antibodies and reverse fibrin zymography, and (c) retinal endothelial cells and pericytes synthesize different species of matrix macromolecules, that is: type IV collagen is the major collagen secreted by endothelial cells, whereas pericytes produce predominantly type I collagen; fibronectin and thrombospondin are synthesized by both cell types. Our studies also indicate that PAI-1 is produced, albeit at considerably lower levels, by large vessel vascular cells (aortic endothelial and smooth muscle cells) and human skin fibroblasts. PAI-1 produced by human skin fibroblasts appears to be a distinct molecular species compared to its bovine counterpart as assessed by its slower mobility on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The potential significance of elevated PAI-1 production by retinal endo...Continue Reading
