VEGFR2 survival and mitotic signaling depends on joint-activation of associated C3ar1/C5ar1 and IL-6R-gp130.
Journal of Cell Science 2019 Februrary 15
Purified vascular endothelial cell (EC) growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) auto-phosphorylates upon VEGF-A occupation in vitro arguing that VEGR2 confers its mitotic and viability signaling in and of itself. Herein, we show that in ECs, VEGFR2 function requires concurrent C3a/C5a receptor (C3ar1/C5ar1) and IL-6 receptor (IL-6R)-gp130 co-signaling. C3ar1/C5ar1 or IL-6R blockade totally abolished VEGFR2 auto-phosphorylation, downstream Src, ERK, AKT, mTOR, and STAT3 activation, and EC cell cycle entry. VEGF-A augmented production of C3a/C5a/IL-6 and their receptors via a two-step p-Tyk2/p-STAT3 process. Co-IP analyses, confocal microscopy, ligand pull-down, and BRET assays all indicated that the four receptors are physically interactive. Angiogenesis in murine day 5 retinas and in adult tissues was accelerated when C3ar1/C5ar1 signaling was potentiated, but repressed when it was disabled. Thus, C3ar1/C5ar1 and IL-6Rgp130 joint-activation is needed to enable physiologic VEGFR2 function.
