Human IL-32θA94V mutant attenuates monocyte-endothelial adhesion by suppressing the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 via binding to cell surface receptor integrin αVβ3 and αVβ6 in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs.

ABSTRACT: Interleukin-32 (IL-32), first reported in 2005, and its isoforms have been the subject of numerous studies investigating their functions in virus infection, cancer, and inflammation. IL-32θ, one of the IL-32 isoforms, has been shown to modulate cancer development and inflammatory responses. A recent study identified an IL-32θ mutant with a cytosine to thymine replacement at position 281 in breast cancer tissues. It means that alanine was also replaced to valine at position 94 in amino acid sequence (A94V). In this study, we investigated the cell surface receptors of IL-32θA94V and evaluated their effect on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Recombinant human IL-32θA94V was expressed, isolated, and purified using Ni-NTA and IL-32 mAb (KU32-52)-coupled agarose columns. We obser
