Abstract

Latent transforming growth factor $(TGF)-{\beta}-binding$ protein (LTBP) is required for the assembly, secretion, matrix association, and activation of latent $TGF-{\beta}$ complex. To elucidate the cell specific expression of the genes of LTBP-1 and their splice variants and the factors that regulate the gene expression, we cultured primary human glomerular endothelial cells (HGEC) under different conditions. Basal expression of LTBP-1 mRNA was suppressed in HGEC compared to WI-38 human embryonic lung fibroblasts. High glucose, $H_2O_2,\;and\;TGF-{\beta}1$ upregulated and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) further downregulated LTBP-1 mRNA in HGEC. RT-PCR with a primer set for LTBP-1S produced many clones but no clone was gained with a primer set for LTBP-1L. Of 12 clones selected randomly, Sca I mapping and DNA sequencing revealed that only one was LTBP-1S and all the others were LTBP-$1S{\Delta}53.\;TGF-{\beta}1$, but not high glucose, $H_2O_2$ or VEGF, tended to increase $LTBP-1S{\Delta}53$ mRNA. In conclusion, HGEC express LTBP-1 mRNA which is suppressed at basal state but upregulated by high glucose, $H_2O_2,\;and\;TGF-{\beta}1$ and downregulated by VEGF. Major splice variant of LTBP-1 in HGEC was $LTBP-1S{\Delta}53$. Modification of LTBP-$1S{\Delta}53$ gene in HGEC may abrogate fibrotic action of $TGF-{\beta}1$ but this requires confirmation.
