概要 | Anosmin-1 is a secreted glycoprotein encoded by the ANOS1 gene, and the loss of function causes Kallmann syndrome (KS), which is characterized by anosmia and hypogonadism due to olfactory bulb (OB) dysfunction. In KS, disordered angiogenesis is observed in OB, resulting in its hypoplasia. Anosmin-1 was detected on the vessel-like structure in OB of chick embryos, and promoted the outgrowth of vascular sprouts in the OB tissue culture assay. We newly identified that anosmin-1 activated VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2) by directly binding to it, and its downstream signaling molecules, phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) and protein kinase C (PKC). These results suggest that anosmin-1 plays a key role in the angiogenesis of developing OB through the VEGFR2–PLCgamma1–PKC axis by enhancing the VEGF function. |
