Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF)
acts via a dual receptor system consisting of the MET tyrosine kinase
receptor and heparan sulfate or dermatan sulfate proteoglycans. In
optical biosensor binding assays, competition by oligosaccharides for binding of HGF/SF to immobilized heparin showed that disaccharides failed to compete, whereas tetrasaccharides inhibited HGF/SF binding (IC50 8 µg/ml). The inhibitory potency of the
oligosaccharides increased as their length increased by successive
disaccharide units, to reach a maximum (IC50 1 µg/ml) at
degree of polymerization (dp) 10. In binding assays, HGF/SF was found
to bind directly to oligosaccharides as small as dp 4, and the binding
parameters were similar for oligosaccharides of dp 4-14
(ka 2.2-45.3 × 106
M 1 s 1, kd
0.033-0.039 s 1, and Kd 9-16
nM). In human keratinocytes, HGF/SF stimulated DNA
synthesis, and this was dependent on a sustained phosphorylation of
p42/44MAPK. In chlorate-treated and hence sulfated
glycosaminoglycan-deficient HaCaT cells, the stimulation of DNA
synthesis by HGF/SF was almost abolished. Heparin-derived
oligosaccharides from dp 2 to dp 24 were added together with HGF/SF to
chlorate-treated cells to determine the minimum size of
oligosaccharides able to restore HGF/SF activity. At restricted
concentrations of oligosaccharides (4 ng/ml), HGF/SF required
decasaccharides, whereas at higher concentrations (100 ng/ml) even
tetrasaccharides were able to partly restore DNA synthesis. The results
suggest that HGF/SF binds to a tetrasaccharide and that although this
is sufficient to enable the stimulation of DNA synthesis, longer
oligosaccharides are more efficient, perhaps by virtue of their ability
to bind more easily other molecules.
