Lymphocytes and monocytes initiate and modulate inflammatory and immune responses for host defense. This process is dependent upon extravasation of leukocytes from the circulation to sites of antigenic challenge and is controlled, in part, by various integrins, including alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1. A small cyclic pentapeptide that inhibits, in vitro, both alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1 activity is described. This peptide, Arg-Cys-Asp-Thioproline-Cys (RC*D[ThioP]C*), is cyclized by a disulfide bond through the cysteine residues (the asterisks denote cyclizing residues). RC*D(ThioP)C* inhibits alpha 5 beta 1-mediated leukocyte adhesion to the 120-kDa Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing binding site of fibronectin. Two different adhesion activities of alpha 4 beta 1 are also inhibited: alpha 4 beta 1-mediated cell adhesion to the alternatively spliced CS-1 site of fibronectin and the alpha 4 beta 1-dependent binding of leukocytes to cytokine-activated endothelial cells. Both alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1 can be purified by affinity chromatography using the immobilized pentapeptide. The peptide does not inhibit adhesion to other extracellular matrix proteins including laminin and vitronectin. The specificity of the RC*D(ThioP)C* peptide for alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1 suggests potential therapeutic utility for inhibiting inflammatory disease.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.
