Identification of a tumor cell receptor for VGVAPG, an elastin-derived chemotactic peptide

Extracellular matrix proteins and their proteolytic products have been shown to modulate cell motility. We have found that certain tumor cells display a chemotactic response to degradation products of the matrix protein elastin, and to an elastin-derived peptide, VGVAPG. The hexapeptide VGVAPG is a...

description Extracellular matrix proteins and their proteolytic products have been shown to modulate cell motility. We have found that certain tumor cells display a chemotactic response to degradation products of the matrix protein elastin, and to an elastin-derived peptide, VGVAPG. The hexapeptide VGVAPG is a particularly potent chemotaxin for lung- colonizing Lewis lung carcinoma cells (line M27), with 5 nM VGVAPG eliciting maximal chemotactic response when assayed in 48-microwell chemotaxis chambers. Binding of the elastin-derived peptide to M27 cells was studied using a tyrosinated analog (Y-VGVAPG) to allow iodination. Scatchard analysis of [125I]Y-VGVAPG binding to viable M27 tumor cells at both 37 and 4 degrees C indicates the presence of a single class of high affinity binding sites. The dissociation constant obtained from these studies (2.7 X 10(-9) M) is equivalent to the concentration of VGVAPG required for chemotactic activity. The receptor molecule was identified as an Mr 59,000 species by covalent cross- linking of the radiolabeled ligand to the M27 tumor cell surface and subsequent analysis of the cross-linked material by electrophoresis and size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography. These results suggest that M27 tumor cell chemotaxis to VGVAPG is initiated by high affinity binding of the peptide to a distinct cell surface receptor.
