Mimicry between neurokinin-1 and fibronectin may explain the transport and stability of increased substance P immunoreactivity in patients with bone marrow fibrosis

Abstract: Bone marrow (BM) fibrosis may occur in myeloproliferative diseases, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloma, and infectious diseases. In this study, the role of substance P (SP), a peptide with pleiotropic functions, was examined. Some of its functions-angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, and stimulation of BM progenitors-are amenable to inducing BM fibrosis. Indeed, a significant increase was found in SP-immunoreactivity (SP-IR) in the sera of patients with BM fibrosis (n ‫؍‬ 44) compared with the sera… Show more

“…This protection could occur by SP's being able to down-regulate the expression of particular endopeptidases, such as CD13, and its complexing to a fibronectin, which is a relatively large molecule. 29,37 CD13 is the second enzyme following neutral endopeptidase that could degrade the carboxyl fragment of SP. 38 Reduced expression of CD13 would leave SP intact for hematopoietic stimulation.…”

“…The cDNA for NK-1 was previously described. 29 NK-2 cDNA was prepared by RT-PCR with total RNA from BM stroma as template and the same primers as were used for quantitative RT-PCR (described above). The NK-2 fragment, which was equivalent to 274 base pairs, was subcloned into pNoTA/T7 (5 Prime 3 3 BLOOD, 1 NOVEMBER 2001 ⅐ VOLUME 98, NUMBER 9 For personal use only.…”

“…Cell extracts were prepared by repeated freeze-thaw cycles in a dry ice-ethanol bath. Total proteins were quantitated in cell extracts from stromal cultures using a kit from Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA), and 15 g was analyzed in Western blots for SP, HIF-1␣, or active caspase-3, as described (26,27). HIF-1␣ and active caspase-3 were electrophoresed on 15% SDS-PAGE and SP on 4 -20% gradient gel (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA).…”

“…This interaction results from the structural similarity between regions of fibronectin and the NK-1 receptor [25]. The mimicry between regions of fibronectin and NK-1 allows substance P to interact with fibronectin and evade degradation.…”
