Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF);has neuronal differentiation and survival;activity on retinoblastoma and cerebellar granule (CG) cells. Here, we investigated the presence of PEDF receptors on retinoblastoma Y-79 and CG cells. PEDF radiolabeled with I-125 remained biologically active and was used for radioligand binding analysis. The binding was saturable and specific to a single class of receptors on both cells and with similar affinities (K-d = 1.7-3.6 nM, B-max = 10.5-2.7 x 10(5) sites/Y-79 cell; and K-d = 3.2 nM, B-max = 1.1 x 10(3) sites/CG cell). A polyclonal antiserum to PEDF, previously shown to block the PEDF neurotrophic activity, prevented the I-125-PEDF binding. We designed two peptides from a region previously shown to confer the neurotrophic property to human PEDF, synthetic peptides 34-mer (positions 44-77) and 44-mer (positions 78-121). Only peptide 44-mer competed for the binding to Y-79 cell receptors (EC50 = 5 nM) and exhibited neuronal differentiating activity. PEDF affinity column chromatography of membrane proteins from both cell types revealed a PEDF-binding protein of similar to 80 kDa. These results are the first demonstration of at PEDF-binding protein with characteristics of a PEDF receptor and suggest that the region comprising amino acid positions 78-121 of PEDF might be involved in ligand-receptor interactions.
