ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the effect of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation on the cell migration induced by platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB), and to identify which phosphorylation site was more important among the three phosphorylation sites, namely Ser157,Ser239 and Thr278.METHODS:
Two phosphorylation mutants of VASP, pcDNA3.1(+)/VASP-S157A and pcDNA3.1(+)/VASP-S239A, were constructed and respectively transfected into the cultured ECV304 cells by means of liposome. The stable expression cells were screened by using antibiotic G418. Protein expression of VASP was measured by Western blotting. The ECV304 cell migration was evaluated using Transwell chamber.RESULTS:
Compared to control group, the cell migration was significantly inhibited in ECV304 transfected with VASP-S157A and VASP-S239A (P<0.05), although slight differences existed between VASP-S157A and VASP-S239A transfected cells (P>0.05).CONCLUSION:
VASP mutation on the phosphorylation sites of Ser157 and Ser239 inhibits cell migration, and the phosphorylation sites of Ser157 and Ser239 both greatly affect the function of VASP.
