Abstract
Angiogenic peptides have therapeutic potential for the treatment of chronic ischemic diseases. Periostin, an extracellular matrix protein expressed in injured tissues, promotes angiogenesis and tissue repair. We previously reported that in vivo administration of both recombinant full-length protein and the first FAS I domain of periostin alleviated peripheral artery occlusive disease by stimulating the migration of humane endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) and subsequent angiogenesis. In the present study, we ascertained the peptide sequence responsible for the periostin-induced angiogenesis. By serial deletion mapping of the first FAS I domain, we identified a peptide sequence (amino acids 142-151) of periostin for stimulation of chemotactic migration, adhesion, proliferation and endothelial tube formation of human ECFCs in vitro. Chemotactic migration of ECFCs induced by the periostin peptide was blocked by pre-incubation with an anti-β5 integrin neutralizing antibody. Treatment of ECFCs with the periostin peptide led to phosphorylation of both AKT and ERK, and pretreatment of ECFCs with the MEK-ERK pathway inhibitor U0126 or the PI3K-AKT pathway inhibitors, LY294002 or Wortmannin, blocked the periostin peptide-stimulated migration of ECFCs. These results suggest that the synthetic periostin peptide can be applied for stimulating angiogenic and therapeutic potentials of ECFCs.
