Differential expression of PSP94 in rat prostate lobes as demonstrated by an antibody against recombinant GST-PSP94.

Prostate secretory protein (PSP94, 94 amino acids) is one of the most abundant proteins secreted from the prostate. Its biological role is unknown and still controversial, although it is assumed to have the potential to be a biomarker and a suppressor of prostate cancer. In order to establish an animal model to further elucidate its biological role, we expressed the mature form of rat PSP94 in Escherichia coli, using a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion expression vector; we generated a polyclonal rabbit antibody against the recombinant protein. The antibody specifically recognized recombinant rat PSP94 and cross-reacted only very weakly with its human homologue. Using the characterized anti-rat PSP94 antibody, we found that PSP94 was located primarily in rat prostate. Furthermore, PSP94 is present at different levels in different lobes of rat prostate, with significant levels detectable only in the lateral lobe (LP). In addition, the most abundant PSP94 expression was found in the prostate lobe secretions, and PSP94 levels in LP secretions were at least seven times higher than in secretions from the dorsal prostate (DP). The rat ventral prostate (VP) and other regions of the male accessory glands were found to be almost completely devoid of PSP94. Since most rat prostate dysplasia induced by steroid hormone treatment occurs only in dorsolateral prostate, prostate tissue-specific expression and the expression of PSP94 in dorsolateral, but not other, lobes of the prostate suggest a potential role in prostate targeting and prostate cancer development.

Serum bound forms of PSP94 (prostate secretory protein of 94 amino acids) in prostate cancer patients

PSP94 (prostate secretory protein of 94 amino acids) was regarded as a possible prostate cancer marker, however, it has been controversial. All prior studies were designed to test the free form in serum using antibodies to PSP94. Results presented here demonstrate that PSP94 exists in prostate cancer patients in two forms, free and bound, and that the majority is present as serum bound complexes. This result was demonstrated by using both native and SDS-PAGE analyses of serum proteins from prostate cancer patients. Chromatographic separation of serum total proteins by a molecular sieve column generated two peaks (peak I and II), which were reactive with rabbit antiserum to human PSP94 in Western blot experiments. Peak I was eluted before the IgG fraction at a molecular weight larger than 150 kDa, and peak II appeared after serum albumin ( approximately 67 kDa) was eluted. By using a biotinylated PSP94 as an indicator of the free form of PSP94, we demonstrate that peak I contains serum PSP94-bound complexes and peak II is likely the free form of serum PSP94. Since the molecular weight of serum PSP94-bound complexes is close to IgG during molecular sieve separation, serum PSP94 complexes were further purified through two rounds of protein A column separation, followed by DEAE-ion exchange column chromatography. In vitro dissociation tests of the purified PSP94-bound complexes showed that the binding of serum PSP94-complexes is probably via disulfide bonds and is chemically stable. The results presented here indicate that serum PSP94-bound complexes must be considered in evaluating the clinical utility of PSP94 as a prostate cancer marker.

By using a biotinylated PSP94 as an indicator of the free form of PSP94, we demonstrate that peak I contains serum PSP94‐bound complexes and peak II is likely the free form of serum PSP94.

The gene therapy of collagen-induced arthritis in rats by intramuscular administration of the plasmid encoding TNF-binding domain of variola virus CrmB protein

Wistar rats with collagen-induced arthritis were intramuscularly injected with the recombinant plasmid pcDNA/sTNF-BD encoding the sequence of the TNF-binding protein domain of variola virus CrmB protein (VARV sTNF-BD) or the pcDNA3.1 vector. Quantitative analysis showed that the histopathological changes in the hind-limb joints of rats were most severe in the animals injected with pcDNA3.1 and much less severe in the group of rats injected with pcDNA/sTNF-BD, which indicates that gene therapy of rheumatoid arthritis is promising in the case of local administration of plasmids governing the synthesis of VARV immunomodulatory proteins.
