    • Introduction

      Connective Tissue Growth Factor belongs to the CCN family of proteins. The CCN family presently consists of six members in human also known as: Cyr61 (Cystein rich 61), CTGF (Connective Tissue Growth Factor), Nov (Nephroblastoma Overexpressed gene), WISP-1, 2 and 3 (Wnt-1 Induced Secreted Proteins). The CCN genes encode secreted proteins associated with the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and cell membrane.
      CCN proteins are matricellular proteins which are involved in the regulation of various cellular functions including: proliferation, differentiation, survival, adhesion and migration. They are expressed in derivatives of the three embryonic sheets and are implicated in the development of kidney, nervous system, muscle, bone marrow, cartilage and bone. During adulthood, they are implicated in wound healing, bone fracture repair, and pathologies such as: fibrosis, vascular ailments and tumorigenesis.
      Full length secreted CCN proteins can show an antiproliferative activity, whereas truncated isoforms are likely to stimulate proliferation and behave as oncogenes.
      The full length protein consists of four modulesModule I shares partial identity with the N-terminal part of the IGFBPs.
      Module II includes a stretch of 70amino acid residues – which shares sequence identity with the Von Willebrand Factor Type C repeat (VWC).
      Module III contains sequences sharing identity with the Thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSP1) (WSXCSXXCG), which is thought to be implicated in the binding of sulfated glycoconjugates and to be important for cell adhesion.
      Module IV, also designated CT, is encoded by exon5. It is the leasts conserved one of the four domains at the level of nucleotide sequence, but it appears to be critical for several of the biological functions attributed to the CCN proteins. Module IV resembles the CT domain of several extracellular protein including, Von Willebrand's factor and mucins. Sequence similarities to binding motifs are also found within this domain.
      Proteolysis of the secreted full-length CCN proteins that has been reported in the case of CCN2 and CCN3 might result in the production of CCN-derived peptides with high affinity for ligands that full-length CNN proteins bind only poorly. Amino-truncated CCN2 isoforms were biologically active whereas no specific biological activity has been attributed to the truncated CCN3. Although the molecular processes underlying the production of these secreted isoforms is presently unknown, it is important to note that proteolysis occur at the same amino acid residues in both CCN2 and CCN3. An elevated expression of CCN2 has also been detected by Northern blotting in human invasive mammary ductal carcinomas, dermatofibromas, pyogenic granuloma, endothelial cells of angiolipomas and angioleiomyomas, and in pancreatic tumors. A study performed with chondrosarcomas representative of various histological grades established that CCN2 expression was closely correlated with increasing levels of malignancy.
      In agreement with CCN2 playing a role in brain tumor angiogenesis, immunocytochemistry studies indicated that both glioblastoma tumor cells and proliferating endothelial cells stained positive for CCN2. In astrocytomas, CCN2 expression was particularly elevated in high grade tumors, with a marked effect of CCN2 on cell proliferation. Downregulation of CCN2 expression in these cells was associated with a growth arrest at the G1/S transition while over-expression of CCN2 induced a two-fold increase of the number of cells in the G1 phase. Gene profiling analysis allowed to identify a set of about 50 genes whose expression might account for the proliferative activity of CCN2 in these cells.
      CCN2 was seen in a higher proportion of mononuclear cells of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    • Background

      Title: Connective Tissue Growth Factor Human Recombinant: Insights into Production, Function, and Therapeutic Potential

      Abstract:


      Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a multifunctional protein that plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis and repair. This research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of human recombinant CTGF, focusing on its production, characterization, and potential therapeutic applications. The paper discusses the significance of CTGF in connective tissue development, fibrosis, and wound healing. Furthermore, it explores the ongoing research and clinical trials investigating the therapeutic potential of recombinant CTGF in various pathological conditions. The information presented in this paper aims to deepen our understanding of human recombinant CTGF and its utility as a research tool and a potential therapeutic agent.

      Introduction:


      Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a secreted protein that belongs to the CCN (Cyr61, CTGF, Nov) family. It is involved in diverse cellular processes, including cell proliferation, extracellular matrix synthesis, and angiogenesis. Human recombinant CTGF, produced through genetic engineering techniques, enables researchers to study its biological functions and explore its therapeutic potential.

      Production and Characterization:


      Recombinant CTGF is typically generated using expression systems such as mammalian cells or bacteria. The protein is then purified and characterized to ensure its structural integrity and functional activity. Quality control measures are implemented to confirm the specificity and biological activity of the recombinant CTGF.

      Role in Tissue Homeostasis and Repair:


      CTGF plays a critical role in connective tissue development, maintenance, and repair. It promotes the synthesis of extracellular matrix components, such as collagen and fibronectin, and regulates the activity of various growth factors. CTGF is also involved in wound healing and tissue remodeling processes. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying CTGF-mediated tissue repair provides insights into potential therapeutic interventions.

      Therapeutic Implications:


      The dysregulation of CTGF expression and signaling has been implicated in several pathological conditions, including fibrosis, arthritis, and cancer. Recombinant CTGF holds promise as a potential therapeutic agent for these diseases. Preclinical and clinical studies are being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CTGF-based therapies, such as CTGF-targeting antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors.

      Conclusion:


      Human recombinant CTGF is a valuable research tool and a potential therapeutic target in various pathological conditions. Its production, characterization, and applications in connective tissue biology contribute to our understanding of tissue repair mechanisms and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Continued research and clinical trials exploring the therapeutic potential of recombinant CTGF offer promising avenues for improving patient outcomes.

The CCN family presently consists of six members in human also known as: Cyr61 (Cystein rich 61), CTGF, Nov (Nephroblastoma Overexpressed gene), WISP-1, 2 and 3 (Wnt-1 Induced Secreted Proteins). CCN proteins are matricellular proteins which are involved in the regulation of various cellular functions including: proliferation, differentiation, survival, adhesion and migration. They are expressed in derivatives of the three embryonic sheets and are implicated in the development of kidney, nervous system, muscle, bone marrow, cartilage and bone. During adulthood, they are implicated in wound healing, bone fracture repair, and pathologies such as: tumorigenesis,fibrosis and vascular ailments. Full length secreted CCN proteins can show an antiproliferative activity, whereas truncated isoforms are likely to stimulate proliferation and behave as oncogenes.
      The full length protein consists of 4 modules: Module I shares partial identity with the N-terminal part of the Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs).
      Module II includes a stretch of 70amino acid residues – which shares sequence identity with the Von Willebrand Factor Type C repeat (VWC).
      Module III contains sequences sharing identity with the Thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSP1) (WSXCSXXCG), which is thought to be implicated in the binding of sulfated glycoconjugates and to be important for cell adhesion.
      Module IV, also designated CT, is encoded by exon5. It is the leasts conserved one of the four domains at the level of nucleotide sequence, but it appears to be critical for several of the biological functions attributed to the CCN proteins.
      Proteolysis of the secreted full-length CCN proteins that has been reported in the case of CCN2 and CCN3 might result in the production of CCN-derived peptides with high affinity for ligands that full-length CNN proteins bind only poorly. Amino-truncated CCN2 isoforms were biologically active whereas no specific biological activity has been attributed to the truncated CCN3. Although the molecular processes underlying the production of these secreted isoforms is presently unknown, it is important to note that proteolysis occur at the same amino acid residues in both CCN2 and CCN3. An elevated expression of CCN2 has also been detected by Northern blotting in human invasive mammary ductal carcinomas, dermatofibromas, pyogenic granuloma, endothelial cells of angiolipomas and angioleiomyomas, and in pancreatic tumors. A study performed with chondrosarcomas representative of various histological grades established that CCN2 expression was closely correlated with increasing levels of malignancy.
      In agreement with CCN2 playing a role in brain tumor angiogenesis, immunocytochemistry studies indicated that both glioblastoma tumor cells and proliferating endothelial cells stained positive for CCN2. In astrocytomas, CCN2 expression was particularly elevated in high grade tumors, with a marked effect of CCN2 on cell proliferation. Downregulation of CCN2 expression in these cells was associated with a growth arrest at the G1/S transition while over-expression of CCN2 induced a two-fold increase of the number of cells in the G1 phase. Gene profiling analysis allowed to identify a set of about 50 genes whose expression might account for the proliferative activity of CCN2 in these cells.
      CCN2 was seen in a higher proportion of mononuclear cells of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

A study performed with chondrosarcomas representative of various histological grades established that CCN2 expression was closely correlated with increasing levels of malignancy.
      In agreement with CCN2 playing a role in brain tumor angiogenesis, immunocytochemistry studies indicated that both glioblastoma tumor cells and proliferating endothelial cells stained positive for CCN2. In astrocytomas, CCN2 expression was particularly elevated in high grade tumors, with a marked effect of CCN2 on cell proliferation. Downregulation of CCN2 expression in these cells was associated with a growth arrest at the G1/S transition while over-expression of CCN2 induced a two-fold increase of the number of cells in the G1 phase. Gene profiling analysis allowed to identify a set of about 50 genes whose expression might account for the proliferative activity of CCN2 in these cells.
      CCN2 was seen in a higher proportion of mononuclear cells of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    • Introduction

      WNT1-inducible-signaling pathway protein 2 (WISP2) belongs to the WNT1 inducible signaling pathway (WISP) protein subfamily, which belongs to the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) family. The CTGF family members are characterized by 4 conserved cysteine-rich domains: insulin-like growth factor-binding domain, von Willebrand factor type C module, thrombospondin domain and C-terminal cystine knot-like (CT) domain. WISP2 protein lacks the CT domain which is implicated in dimerization binding. WISP2 is possibly involved in bone remodeling. WISP2 is expressed in primary osteoblasts and fibroblasts. WISP2 stimulates osteoblast adhesion and inhibits osteocalcin production. WISP2 expression in colon tumors is reduced while the other 2 WISP members are overexpressed in colon tumors. WISP2 may play an imperative role in modulating bone turnover.

    • Introduction

      Cardiotrophin 1 (CT-1) is a 201 amino acid member of the interleukin-6 superfamily. It was identified by its ability to induce hypertrophic response in cardiac myocytes. CT-1 mRNA levels were found both in cardiac myocytes and in cardiac nonmyocytes. CT 1 was also detected in abundance in normal adult human lung and was expressed in both fetal and adult airway smooth muscle cells. CT 1 activates gp130 dependent signaling and stimulates the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway to transduce hypertrophic and cytoprotective signals in cardiac myocytes.
      CT 1 has also a neurotrophic function. CTF1 deficiency causes increased motoneuron cell death in spinal cord and brainstem nuclei of mice during a period between embryonic day 14 and the first postnatal week. Moreover, CT-1 is a hepatocyte survival factor that efficiently reduces hepatocellular damage in animal models of acute liver injury. Cardiotrophin 1 expression is augmented after hypoxic stimulation and it can protect cardiac cells when added either prior to simulated ischaemia or at the time of reoxygenation following simulated ischaemia. Cardiotrophin 1 can induce expression of the protective heat shock proteins (hsps) in cardiac cells.
      Cardiotrophin-1 increased ventricular expression of ANP, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and angiotensinogen mRNA.
      Cardiophin 1 levels were significantly elevated in patients with heart failure, patients with dilatative cardiomyopathy, moderate/severe mitral regurgitation, stable and unstable angina and after acute myocardial infarction.

      About TGFB3 (207 a.a.) Human:

      Transforming growth factor beta-3 (also known as TGF-β3) is a cytokine encoded by the TGFB3 gene that belongs to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily. It plays a significant role in cell differentiation, embryogenesis, and development by regulating molecules involved in cell adhesion and extracellular matrix formation. TGF-β3 is necessary for palate development, as its absence causes clefting. In addition, it controls lung development and wound healing processes by regulating cell adhesion and movement in the respective tissues. Together, TGF-β3 coordinates a variety of cellular processes that are critical for mammalian embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. In this article we will explore the features and applications of TGFB3 Human Recombinant Protein, expanding on its significance in in advanced research pursuits.

      Description:

      TGFB3 Human Recombinant protein encodes amino acids 644-850 and total molecular mass of 50 kDa (Including GST Tag). As TGFB3 Human derives from Escherichia Coli, it appears as a sterile filtered clear solution and is formulated as 100µl of purified human TGF Beta 3 protein at 100µg/ml. In addition, its protein is formulated in a solution comprising 50mM Tris-Acetate (pH 7.5), 1mM EDTA, and 20% Glycerol. In terms of stability, TGF-beta 3 Human Recombinant is stable at 4°C for up to a week. However, it is preferable to store at -20°C. However, if you are looking to store it for a long term it is preferable to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).

      Activation:

      While TGF-β plays a crucial role regulating essential cell functions, its activation pathways is still being explored and understood. Some pathways are specific to certain cells or tissues, while others are more widespread. Factors like proteases, integrins, pH, and reactive oxygen species can activate TGF-β. Disruptions in these factors can lead to uncontrolled TGF-β signaling, causing issues like inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.

TGFB2 is part of a family of five related cytokines that have an extensive variation of normal and neoplastic cells, indicating the importance of these homo-dimmer proteins as multi-functional regulators of cellular activity. The three mammalian isoforms of TGF-beta (TGFb1, TGFb2 and TGFb3) signal through the same receptor and stimulate similar biological responses. They are involved in physiological processes as embryogenesis, tissue remodelling and wound healing.

    More Info

    • Introduction

      CNTF is a polypeptide hormone whose actions appear to be restricted to the nervous system where it promotes neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neuronal populations. The protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. A mutation in this gene, which results in aberrant splicing, leads to ciliary neurotrophic factor deficiency, but this phenotype is not causally related to neurologic disease. In addition to the predominant monocistronic transcript originating from this locus, the gene is also co-transcribed with the upstream ZFP91 gene. Co-transcription from the two loci results in a transcript that contains a complete coding region for the zinc finger protein but lacks a complete coding region for ciliary neurotrophic factor.
      CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy.
