TF/FVIIa Transactivate PDGFRβ to Regulate PDGF-BB–Induced Chemotaxis in Different Cell Types

Abstract

Background— We have previously reported the potentiation of PDGF-BB–induced chemotaxis of fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells by FVIIa. Here we studied the role of TF/FVIIa and the induced signaling pathways in regulation of chemotaxis of human monocytes, fibroblasts, and porcine aorta endothelial cells. Methods and Results— Human monocytes were obtained by using Ficoll-Paque gradient and the MACS system (for highly purified population), fibroblasts and PAE cells have been characterized previously. Inhibitors of selected signaling intermediates were used, and the effect of TF/FVIIa on the migratory response of all cells to chemotactic agents was analyzed. The induced signaling was studied by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting. TF/FVIIa complex selectively enhanced PDGF-BB–induced chemotaxis in a Src-family, PLC, and PAR-2–dependent manner. Using PAE cells we identified c-Src and c-Yes as the Src-family members activated by TF/FVIIa. We report for the first time the PAR-2 and Src family-dependent transactivation of PDGFRβ by TF/FVIIa involving phosphorylation of a subset of PDGFRβ tyrosines. Conclusions— The described transactivation is a likely mechanism of TF/FVIIa-mediated regulation of PDGF-BB–induced chemotaxis. Similar behavior of 3 principally different cell types in our experimental setup may reflect a general function of TF in regulation of cell migration.
