Crim1KST264/KST264 mice implicate Crim1 in the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor-A activity during glomerular vascular development.

|
Crim1, a transmembrane cysteine-rich repeat-containing protein that is related to chordin, plays a role in the tethering of growth factors at the cell surface.

|
The podocytic co-expression of Crim1 with vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) suggested a role for Crim1 in the regulation of VEGF-A action.

|
Crim1 and VEGF-A were shown to interact directly, providing evidence that cysteine-rich repeat-containing proteins can bind to non-TGF-beta superfamily ligands.

|
Crim1(KST264/KST264) mice display a mislocalization of VEGF-A within the developing glomerulus, as assessed by immunogold electron microscopy and increased activation of VEGF receptor 2 (Flk1) in the glomerular endothelial cells, suggesting that Crim1 regulates the delivery of VEGF-A by the podocytes to the endothelial cells.

|
This is the first in vivo demonstration of regulation of VEGF-A delivery and supports the hypothesis that Crim1 functions to regulate the release of growth factors from the cell of synthesis.
