Matrix GLA protein (MGP) has previously been shown to enhance expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) through the activin-like kinase receptor 1 (ALK1) in bovine aortic endothelial cells. MGP has also been identified as an inhibitor of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). This study showed that the effect of MGP on ALK1 signaling and VEGF expression in bovine aortic endothelial cells was dose-dependent, that a progressive increase of MGP levels ceased to be stimulatory and instead turned inhibitory. We identified a new regulatory pathway involving BMP that may explain this response. BMP-2 and BMP-4 induced expression of ALK1 in a dose-dependent fashion as determined by real-time PCR and immunoblotting. Activation of ALK1 signaling induced expression of MGP in addition to that of VEGF, allowing for negative feedback regulation of BMP by MGP. MGP inhibited BMP-4 activity similarly to that of BMP-2 and interacted with BMP-4 on a protein level as determined by co-immunoprecipitation. The dose-dependent effect on ALK1 expression and the stimulation of MGP and VEGF expression were dependent on signaling by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and ALK1. Inhibition of TGF-beta by neutralizing antibodies abolished the inhibitory effect of high BMP-4 levels on ALK1 expression and the induction of MGP and VEGF. Depletion of ALK1 by small interfering RNA abolished the induction of MGP and VEGF. MGP promoter activity was also stimulated by BMP-4 in a TGF-beta-dependent fashion. The results suggest that the effects of BMP on endothelial cells occur in part through induction of ALK1, an effect that may be limited by ALK1-induced MGP.
