متن کاملFibroblast activation protein (FAP) as a novel metabolic target
OBJECTIVE Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a serine protease belonging to a S9B prolyl oligopeptidase subfamily. This enzyme has been implicated in cancer development and recently reported to regulate degradation of FGF21, a potent metabolic hormone. Using a known FAP inhibitor, talabostat (TB), we explored the impact of FAP inhibition on metabolic regulation in mice. METHODS To address...
متن کاملSurfactant protein-A binds group B streptococcus enhancing phagocytosis and clearance from lungs of surfactant protein-A-deficient mice.
Surfactant protein-A (SP-A) gene-targeted mice clear group B streptococcus (GBS) from the lungs at a slower rate than wild-type mice. To determine mechanisms by which SP-A enhances pulmonary clearance of GBS, the role of SP-A in binding and phagocytosis of GBS was assessed in SP-A (-/-) mice infected with GBS in the presence and absence of exogenous SP-A. Coadministration of GBS with exogenous ...
متن کاملAPC+/− alters colonic fibroblast proteome in FAP
Here we compared the proteomes of primary fibroblast cultures derived from morphologically normal colonic mucosa of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients with those obtained from unaffected controls. The expression signature of about 19% of total fibroblast proteins separates FAP mutation carriers from unaffected controls (P < 0.01). More than 4,000 protein spots were quantified by 2D P...
متن کاملQuantitation of fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-specific protease activity in mouse, baboon and human fluids and organs☆
The protease fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a specific marker of activated mesenchymal cells in tumour stroma and fibrotic liver. A specific, reliable FAP enzyme assay has been lacking. FAP's unique and restricted cleavage of the post proline bond was exploited to generate a new specific substrate to quantify FAP enzyme activity. This sensitive assay detected no FAP activity in any tiss...
