Human angiogenin is a plasma protein with angiogenic and ribonucleolytic activities. Angiogenin inhibited both DNA replication and proliferation of aortic smooth muscle cells. Binding of 125I-angiogenin to bovine aortic smooth muscle cells at 4 degrees C was specific, saturable, reversible and involved two families of interactions. High-affinity binding sites with an apparent dissociation constant of 0.2 nm bound 1 x 104 molecules per cell grown at a density of 3 x 104.cm-2. Low-affinity binding sites with an apparent dissociation constant of 0.1 micrometer bound 4 x 106 molecules.cell-1. High-affinity binding sites decreased as cell density increased and were not detected at confluence. 125I-angiogenin bound specifically to cells routinely grown in serum-free conditions, indicating that the angiogenin-binding components were cell-derived. Affinity labelling of sparse bovine smooth muscle cells yielded seven major specific complexes of 45, 52, 70, 87, 98, 210 and 250-260 kDa. The same pattern was obtained with human cells. Potential modulators of angiogenesis such as protamine, heparin and the placental ribonuclease inhibitor competed for angiogenin binding to the cells. Together these data suggest that cultured bovine and human aortic smooth muscle cells express specific receptors for human angiogenin.
