Syndecan-4 is a member of the syndecan family of transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and is involved in cell protection, proliferation, and the blood coagulation-fibrinolytic system in vascular endothelial cells. Heparan sulfate chains enable fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) to form a complex with its receptor and to transduce the cell growth signal. In the present study, bovine aortic endothelial cells were cultured, and the intracellular signal pathways that mediate the regulation of syndecan-4 expression in dense and sparse cultures by FGF-2 were analyzed. We demonstrated the cell density-dependent differential regulation of syndecan-4 expression. Specifically, we found that FGF-2 upregulated the synthesis of syndecan-4 in vascular endothelial cells via the MEK1/2-ERK1/2 pathway in dense cell cultures, with only a transcriptional induction of syndecan-4 at a low cell density via the Akt pathway. This study highlights a critical mechanism underlying the regulation of endothelial cell functions by proteoglycans.
