Human vascular permeability factor (hVPF) is a glycoprotein that promotes fluid and protein leakage from blood vessels. The function of hVPF is at present unknown, but the potent bioactivities of this protein suggest that it could act during inflammation, wound healing, and tumor angiogenesis. hVPF was purified from serum-free conditioned medium of the human histiocytic lymphoma cell line U937 as a disulfide-linked dimeric 40-kDa protein that promoted dermal blood vessel leakage in guinea pigs at a dose of 20 ng (3 x 10(-9) M) and promoted in vitro endothelial cell growth at concentrations as low as 50 PM. Multiple forms of hVPF with apparent pI values greater than 7.5 were resolved using pH gradient electrophoresis. Antibodies against guinea pig vascular permeability factor were found to cross-react with hVPF. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of hVPF was similar to, but not identical with, the N-terminal sequence of guinea pig vascular permeability factor.
