Proteinase 3 is an IL-32 binding protein.
IL-32, a recently discovered proinflammatory cytokine with four isoforms, induces IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and chemokines. Here, we used ligand (IL-32alpha) affinity chromatography in an attempt to isolate an IL-32alpha soluble receptor or binding protein. Recombinant IL-32alpha was covalently immobilized on agarose, and preparations of concentrated crude human urinary proteins were applied f...
متن کاملProteinase 3-processed form of the recombinant IL-32 separate domain.
Interleukin-32 (IL-32) induces a variety of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. The IL-32 transcript was reported originally in activated T cells; subsequently, it was demonstrated to be abundantly expressed in epithelial and endothelial cells upon stimulation with inflammatory cytokines. IL-32 is regulated robustly by other major proinflammatory cytokines, thereby suggesting that IL-32 i...
متن کاملTransferrin is an insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 binding protein.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) possesses both growth-inhibitory and -potentiating effects on cells that are independent of IGF action and are mediated through specific IGFBP-3 binding proteins/receptors located at the cell membrane, cytosol, or nuclear compartments and in the extracellular matrix. We have here characterized transferrin (Tf) as one of these IGFBP-3 ...
متن کاملIL-32 promotes angiogenesis.
IL-32 is a multifaceted cytokine with a role in infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancer, and it exerts diverse functions, including aggravation of inflammation and inhibition of virus propagation. We previously identified IL-32 as a critical regulator of endothelial cell (EC) functions, and we now reveal that IL-32 also possesses angiogenic properties. The hyperproliferative ECs of human pu...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies specific for low-affinity interleukin-3 (IL-3) binding protein AIC2A: evidence that AIC2A is a component of a high-affinity IL-3 receptor.
Mouse interleukin-3 (IL-3) binds to its receptor with high and low affinities. Using anti-Aic2 antibody, two distinct cDNAs (AIC2A and AIC2B) were isolated. The AIC2A gene encodes a protein of 120 Kd that binds IL-3 with low affinity, whereas the AIC2B gene encodes a protein that is 91% identical to AIC2A at the amino acid level, but which does not bind IL-3. To study the structure of the funct...
