The presence of receptors specific for connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was demonstrated on a human chondrosarcoma-derived chondrocytic cell Line, HCS-2/8. The binding of I-125-labeIed recombinant CTGF to HCS-2/8 cells was inhibited by unlabeled CTGF but not by PDGF-BB or bFGF. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of two classes of binding sites with Rd values of 18.6 and 259 nM on cells. A cross-linking study revealed the formation of I-12S-CTGF-receptor complex with an apparent molecular weight of 280 kDa, The I-125-CTGF-receptor complex disappeared almost completely on the addition of unlabeled CTGF but not PDGF-BB or bFGF, In addition, the I-125-CTGF-receptor complex was immunoprecipitated with anti-CTGF antiserum but not with anti-PDGF receptor antiserum. These findings suggest that CTGF directly binds to specific receptor molecules on HCS-2/8 cells. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
