RESUMO
A 17,500-dalton protein which stimulates plasminogen activator production in cultured bovine capillary endothelial cells has been purified from a SK-Hep-1 human hepatoma cell lysate by using heparin affinity chromatography and fast protein-liquid ion exchange chromatography. The purified molecule stimulated plasminogen activator production in a dose-dependent manner between 0.01 and 1 ng/ml. It also stimulated collagenase synthesis, DNA synthesis, and motility in capillary endothelial cells in the same concentration range. This molecule was identified as a basic fibroblast growth factor-like molecule on the basis of its biological activity, its affinity for heparin-Sepharose, and its cross-reactivity with a polyclonal antibody raised against the human placental basic fibroblast growth factor.
