Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and
basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are potent growth factors active
on many cell types. The present study indicates that they directly interact in vitro. The interaction was investigated with
overlay experiments, surface plasmon resonance experiments, and
solid-phase immunoassays by immobilizing one factor or the other and by
steady-state fluorescence analysis. The interaction observed was
specific, dose-dependent, and saturable, and the
bFGF/PDGF-BB binding stoichiometry was found to be 2:1.
KD1 for the first step
equilibrium and the overall KD values were found to
be in the nanomolar and in the picomolar range, respectively. Basic
FGF/PDGF-BB interaction was strongly reduced as a function of time of
PDGF-BB proteolysis. Furthermore, docking analysis suggested that the
PDGF-BB region interacting with bFGF may overlap, at least in part,
with the PDGF-BB receptor-binding site. This hypothesis was supported
by surface plasmon resonance experiments showing that an anti-PDGF-BB antibody, known to inhibit PDGF-BB binding with its receptor, strongly
reduced bFGF/PDGF-BB interaction, whereas a control antibody was
ineffective. According to these data, the observed
bFGF·PDGF-BB complex formation might explain, at least in
part, previous observations showing that PDGF-BB chemotactic and
mitogenic activity on smooth muscle cells are strongly inhibited in the
presence of bFGF.
