Expression and function of periostin-like factor in vascular smooth muscle cells

Abstract: In injured blood vessels activated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) migrate from the media to the intima, proliferate and synthesize matrix proteins. This results in occlusion of the lumen and detrimental clinical manifestations. We have identified a novel isoform of the periostin family of proteins referred to as periostin-like factor (PLF). PLF expression in VSMCs was increased following treatment with mitogenic compounds, suggesting that PLF plays a role in VSMC activation. Correspondingly, proliferatio… Show more

“…We also confirmed the localization of periostin in the Golgi. It is noteworthy that a subcellular localization of periostin has also been indicated (50,51), while secreted periostin is detected in the cell culture medium (9). Many secretory proteins are synthesized as inactive precursors in the ER and are usually cleaved at sites composed of single or paired basic amino acid residues by members of the subtilisin/kexin-like proprotein convertase family (52).…”

“…These two proteins are single gene products and differ in their COOH terminal region [2, 8, 9]. Neither PLF nor Periostin are expressed in most adult tissues under normal conditions, but is expressed under conditions of mechanical overload or injury and repair of the musculoskeletal system, and in disease of the cardiovascular system [921]. Both isoforms are induced in adult tissues and cells under adverse conditions such as hypoxia, UV exposure, serum starvation, abnormal cell growth and pressure or volume and mechanical overload.…”
