Abstract

A novel paradigm of keratinocyte (KC) regulation via nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) has been discovered in studies of SLURP (secreted mammalian Ly-6/urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor-related protein)-1 in Mal de Meleda. We cloned human SLURP-1 and produced recombinant protein and the monoclonal antibody 336H12-1A3 that visualized native SLURP-1. SLURP-1 ligated the conventional ligand-binding site of KC nAChR, showing a higher affinity to the [(3)H]nicotine-, compared with the [(3)H]epibatidine-sensitive nAChR. SLURP-1 significantly (p<0.05) increased the activities of caspases 3 and 8, and the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling-positive cells. The pro-apoptotic activity of SLURP-1 exceeded that of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, suggesting the involvement of separate pathways. In a series of real-time PCR and in-cell western experiments, SLURP-1 significantly (p<0.05) upregulated expression of transglutaminase type I cytokeratin 10, p21, and caspase-3. In the presence of the agonist carbachol, the effects of SLURP-1 on gene expression were augmented, which is in keeping with the notion that SLURP-1 acts as an allosteric agonist at the KC nAChR. Thus, the changes in the cell state induced by SLURP-1 could result from nAChR-mediated effects on the KC gene expression. These results suggest that the biological role of SLURP-1 in the epidermis is to provide fine tuning of the physiologic regulation of KC functions through the cholinergic pathways.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
