项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A durable bioprosthetic vascular graft is badly needed for vascular bypass surgery. For peripheral vascular surgery, there is essentially no viable alternative to an autogenous venous conduit to bypass leg arteries. In part, the challenges to establishing an endothelialized graft have been gaps in our understanding of how specific growth factors and matrix proteins interact with each other and modulate cellular responses. Heparins are known to modulate growth responses, but heparin's effects have been confusing and contradictory, due to the heterogeneity of heparin's structure and its diverse interactions. We have discovered that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibronectin (Fn) have a unique and dedicated biologic partnership. Fn binds VEGF like no other matrix protein, and Fn significantly enhances the endothelial migration and proliferation mediated by VEGF. Their cognate receptors, alpha5beta1 and VEGFR2 also work in synergy. We have also demonstrated that VEGF-Fn complexes uniquely enhance the differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) into the endothelial line. Our goals are: 1) Elucidate the mechanisms underlying Fn promotion of VEGF activity, 2) Define the structure-activity relations of heparin's modulation of VEGF-VEGFR2 binding, 3) Define and develop recombinant fibronectin constructs and heparin oligosaccharides that when combined with VEGF and EPC will enhance endothelialization of a porous vascular graft, by capillary in growth and the differentiation of EPC. Using recombinant Fn constructs, we will identify the Fn domains that are key to promoting VEGF mitogenic effects. Using structurally defined synthetic oligosaccharides, and novel surface plasmon resonance technology we will identify the optimal size and structure of heparin that promotes VEGF binding to its receptor VEGFR2. In an animal model of peripheral artery bypass grafting that closely resembles the human condition, we will test these constructs and cells for their ability to promote the growth of a stable endothelial lining.

描述（由申请人提供）：血管搭桥手术急需一种耐用的生物假体血管移植物。对于外周血管手术，除了自体静脉导管之外，基本上没有可行的替代方案来绕过腿部动脉。在某种程度上，建立内皮化移植物的挑战在于我们对特定生长因子和基质蛋白如何相互作用并调节细胞反应的理解存在差距。众所周知，肝素可以调节生长反应，但由于肝素结构的异质性及其不同的相互作用，肝素的作用一直令人困惑和矛盾。我们发现血管内皮生长因子 (VEGF) 和纤连蛋白 (Fn) 具有独特且专门的生物伙伴关系。 Fn 与 VEGF 的结合与其他基质蛋白不同，并且 Fn 显着增强 VEGF 介导的内皮迁移和增殖。它们的同源受体 alpha5beta1 和 VEGFR2 也协同作用。我们还证明 VEGF-Fn 复合物能够独特地增强内皮祖细胞 (EPC) 向内皮细胞系的分化。我们的目标是：1) 阐明 Fn 促进 VEGF 活性的机制，2) 定义肝素调节 VEGF-VEGFR2 结合的结构-活性关系，3) 定义和开发重组纤连蛋白结构和肝素寡糖，当与 VEGF 结合时， EPC将通过毛细血管的生长和EPC的分化来增强多孔血管移植物的内皮化。使用重组 Fn 构建体，我们将鉴定对于促进 VEGF 促有丝分裂作用至关重要的 Fn 结构域。使用结构明确的合成寡糖和新型表面等离子共振技术，我们将确定促进 VEGF 与其受体 VEGFR2 结合的肝素的最佳大小和结构。在与人类状况非常相似的外周动脉旁路移植动物模型中，我们将测试这些构建体和细胞促进稳定内皮层生长的能力。
