タイトル Transcription factor 8 activates R-Ras to regulate angiogenesis.
ジャーナル Biochem Biophys Res Commun
Abstract We have recently reported that transcription factor 8 (TCF8) negatively regulates pathological angiogenesis by regulating endothelial invasiveness by acting as a transcriptional attenuator of matrix metalloproteinase 1. TCF8 also modulates cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion; however molecular mechanism of this TCF8 function remains obscure. Here, we provide evidence that TCF8 activates R-Ras, another class of angiogenic regulator, to suppress angiogenesis by a mechanism other than a transcriptional attenuator. Tube formation by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) facilitated by TCF8 suppression was significantly inhibited by the expression of constitutive active mutant of R-Ras. When we examined the mRNA expression levels of R-Ras regulators, no significant changes were observed to explain the R-Ras activation by TCF8. Interestingly, we found that TCF8 bound to CalDAG-GEFIII, an R-Ras activator, in the cytosol, indicating that TCF8 emanates signaling for R-Ras activation from cytosol to regulate angiogenesis negatively.
