PG - 409-14 AB - Fibrin is formed at sites of injury or inflammation and provides the temporary matrix to support vascular cell responses that are also mediated by cytokines including interleukin-1 (IL-1). We have shown previously that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) binds with high affinity to fibrin(ogen). Because IL-1 has a structure similar to FGF-2, we have investigated the possible binding of IL-1 to fibrin(ogen). Experiments using IL-1 immobilized on Sepharose beads and soluble iodine 125 ((125)I)-labeled fibrinogen demonstrated no specific interaction of IL-1alpha with fibrinogen, but IL-1beta showed saturable and specific binding. Scatchard analysis indicated a single binding site with an apparent K(d) = 1.5 nM and a maximum molar binding ratio of IL-1beta to fibrinogen of 1.8:1. Binding of (125)I-IL-1beta to Sepharose-immobilized fibrinogen also demonstrated a single binding site with an apparent K(d) of 3.5 nM. IL-1beta also bound specifically to fibrin monomer and polymerized fibrin with apparent K(d)s of 3.4 nM and 2.3 nM, respectively. IL-1beta displaced FGF-2 for binding to fibrin, indicating an interaction with the same or a closely related site. Compared with free form, fibrinogen-bound IL-1beta stimulated increased activation of endothelial cell nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) secretion, and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. We conclude that IL-1beta binds with high affinity to fibrin(ogen) and demonstrates increased activity in the bound form.
