Proteoglycans that modulate the activities of growth factors, chemokines, and coagulation factors regulate in turn the vascular endothelium with respect to processes such as inflammation, hemostasis, and angiogenesis. Endothelial cell-specific molecule-1 is mainly expressed by endothelial cells and regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines (Lassalle, P., Molet, S., Janin, A., Heyden, J. V., Tavernier, J., Fiers, W., Devos, R., and Tonnel, A. B. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 20458-20464). We demonstrate that this molecule is secreted as a soluble dermatan sulfate (DS) proteoglycan. This proteoglycan represents the major form either secreted by cell lines or circulating in the human bloodstream. Because this proteoglycan is specifically secreted by endothelial cells, we propose to name it endocan. The glycosaminoglycan component of endocan consists of a single DS chain covalently attached to serine 137. Endocan dose-dependently increased the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF)-mediated proliferation of human embryonic kidney cells, whereas the nonglycanated form of endocan did not. Moreover, DS chains purified from endocan mimicked the endocan-mediated increase of cell proliferation in the presence of HGF/SF. Overall, our results demonstrate that endocan is a novel soluble dermatan sulfate proteoglycan produced by endothelial cells. Endocan regulates HGF/SF-mediated mitogenic activity and may support the function of HGF/SF not only in embryogenesis and tissue repair after injury but also in tumor progression.
