Secreted Frizzled-related protein-1 (sFRP-1) belongs to a class of extracellular antagonists that modulate Wnt signaling pathways by preventing ligand-receptor interactions among Wnts and Frizzled membrane receptor complexes. sFRP-1 and Wnts are heparin-binding proteins, and their interaction can be stabilized by heparin in vitro. Here we report that heparin can specifically enhance recombinant sFRP-1 accumulation in a cell type-specific manner. The effect requires O-sulfation in heparin, and involves fibroblast growth factor-2 as well as fibroblast growth factor receptor-1. Interestingly, further investigation uncovers that heparin can also affect the post-translational modification of sFRP-1. We demonstrate that sFRP-1 is post-translationally modified by tyrosine sulfation at tyrosines 34 and 36, which is inhibited by the treatment of heparin. The results suggest that accumulation of sFRP-1 induced by heparin is in part due to the relative stabilization of unsulfated sFRP-1 and the direct stabilization by heparin. The study has revealed a multifaceted regulation on sFRP-1 protein by heparin.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D016222 Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 A single-chain polypeptide growth factor that plays a significant role in the process of WOUND HEALING and is a potent inducer of PHYSIOLOGIC ANGIOGENESIS. Several different forms of the human protein exist ranging from 18-24 kDa in size due to the use of alternative start sites within the fgf-2 gene. It has a 55 percent amino acid residue identity to FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 1 and has potent heparin-binding activity. The growth factor is an extremely potent inducer of DNA synthesis in a variety of cell types from mesoderm and neuroectoderm lineages. It was originally named basic fibroblast growth factor based upon its chemical properties and to distinguish it from acidic fibroblast growth factor (FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 1).
