✦ Synopsis

In this study, we investigated the effect of the extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by vascular cells on proteoglycan (PG) synthesis by vascular smooth muscle cells in culture. PG synthesis of human aortic smooth muscle cells plated on plastic or the matrices derived from vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, or THP-1 macrophages was characterized. Smooth muscle cell and macrophage matrices increased both secreted and cellular smooth muscle cells PG production by 2.5-fold to 3.9-fold, respectively, over plastic and endothelial cell matrix. Macrophage matrix was more potent than smooth muscle cell matrix in this regard. Selective enzymatic removal of chondroitin sulfates, collagen, and elastin from smooth muscle cell matrix enhanced the stimulation of PG synthesis, as did the removal of chondroitin sulfates from macrophage matrix. PG turnover rates were similar for smooth muscle cells plated on the three matrices. The newly synthesized PG from cultures plated on smooth muscle cell-, and macrophage-derived matrices had greater charge density, larger molecular size, and longer glycosaminoglycan chains than those from endothelial cell matrix cultures. These data show that the ECM plays a major role in modulating vascular smooth muscle cell PG metabolism in vitro.

## Abstract PR‐39 is proline‐rich peptide produced at sites of tissue injury. While the functional properties of this peptide have not been fully defined, PR‐39 may be an important regulator of processes related to cell‐matrix adhesion since it reportedly upregulates syndecan‐4, which is a critical
