A cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan mediates neural cell adhesion and spreading on a defined sequence from the C-terminal cell and heparin binding domain of fibronectin, FN-C/H II

FN-C/H II is a heparin binding synthetic peptide from the C-terminal cell and heparin binding domain of fibronectin (FN) that mediates neuronal cell adhesion, spreading, and neurite outgrowth. Cellular interactions with FN-C/H II are inhibited by soluble heparin, suggesting that a cell-surface proteoglycan may mediate interactions with FN-C/H II (Haugen et al., 1990). To test this hypothesis further, heparan sulfate (HS) or chondroitin sulfate (CS) was removed from the cell surface by enzyme treatment. Heparitinase but not chondroitinase treatment of cells inhibited rat B104 neuroblastoma cell adhesion and spreading on FN-C/H II. Additionally, heparitinase treatment decreased the spreading of cells on the 33/66 kDa fragments containing the C- terminal heparin binding domain of FN. Furthermore, antibodies generated against a mouse melanoma HS proteoglycan (HSPG) inhibited B104 cell adhesion to FN-C/H II and the 33/66 kDa FN fragments. 35S- HSPG isolated from B104 cells directly bound to FN-C/H II both in solid phase assays and by affinity chromatography, but failed to bind to a control peptide from this region, CS1. The binding of 35S-HSPG was predominantly mediated by the HS and not the core protein of the HSPG. SDS-PAGE of iodinated HSPG demonstrated a single 78 kDa core protein following heparitinase digestion, which migrated at 51 kDa under nonreducing conditions. Anti-HSPG antibodies recognized the 78 kDa core protein by immunoblotting, and stained the surface of rat B104 neuroblastoma cells and cells of the primary neonatal rat nervous system. These results identify a cell-surface HSPG that likely mediates neuronal cell binding interactions with FN-C/H II.
