Stromal cell derived factor-2 (Sdf2): a novel protein expressed in mouse.
The stromal derived factor (SDFs) family comprises a group of molecules generated by stromal cells. SDF1 and SDF4 are chemokines; SDF2 and SDF5 are not yet functionally and structurally defined. In human and mouse, Sdf2 has a paralogous gene, Sdf2l1, whose protein sequences are 78% similar and 68% identical. Human SDF2L1 is an endoplasmic reticulum-stress inducible-gene. In Arabidopsis thaliana, SDF2-like (39% and 37% amino acid sequence identity with Mus musculus Sdf2 and Sdf2l1) has also been implicated in activating the UPR in ER-stress. Here we have cloned, expressed and purified recombinant Sdf2 and raised an anti-Sdf2 antibody. We demonstrated that the protein is expressed in several tissues and is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. We suggest that Sdf2, initially predicted as a secretory protein because it lacks the canonical ER retention signals in its C-terminal, could be ER-resident through accessory binding proteins or other amino acid sequence motifs, as suggested for the homolog protein SDF2-like. Furthermore, the crystal structure of SDF2-like from Arabidopsis thaliana is a typical β-trefoil containing three MIR motifs; all hydrophobic residues considered important for maintaining the bottom layer of the β-trefoil barrel seem to be conserved in the Sdf2 family. Multiple alignment using 43 sequences for SDF2 and 38 for SDF2L1 paralogous families also revealed a very similar residue conservation profile. Comparing the amino acid sequence and predicted 3D structure with other Sdf2-like proteins we suggest a role of mouse Sdf2 in the Unfolded Protein Response and ER-stress, similar to that of Sdf2l1 from human and mouse and SDF2-like from Arabidopsis thaliana. Chronic ER stress has been associated with many human diseases including cancer and diabetes. Identification of new factors associated with the ER stress pathway can help to identify and define key targets of this response.Aline R Lorenzon-Ojea, Waldir Caldeira, Alberto F Ribeiro, Susan J Fisher, Cristiane R Guzzo, Estela Bevilacqua

TFF2 (trefoil family factor2) inhibits apoptosis in breast and colorectal cancer cell lines.
We have recently demonstrated that human TFF2 inhibits apoptosis in the non-TFF2 expressing breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7. In this study we examined the impact of TFF2 and an anti-TFF2 antibody (hSP3) on the survival of other human adenocarcinoma cell lines; TFF2-positive (LS174T and SW480) and TFF2-negative (MCF-7 and T47D). Addition of TFF2 protected the (TFF2-) lines but had no effect on those constitutively expressing TFF2. Blocking with hSP3 significantly increased apoptosis in the (TFF2+) cell lines with minimal effect on the (TFF2-) cells. Our results show that the cytoprotective effect of TFF2 seen in MCF-7 cells is not cell line-specific and can be abrogated by inhibition of its expression.Lai-San Siu, Hanna Romanska, Paul D Abel, Mirela Baus-Loncar, Tuncay Kayademir, Gordon W H Stamp, El-Nasir Lalani
