LSR antibody promotes apoptosis and disrupts epithelial barriers via signal pathways in endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), a lipid metabolism-related factor localized in tricellular tight junctions (tTJs), plays an important role in maintaining the epithelial barrier. LSR is highly expressed in well-differentiated endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC), and its expression decreases during malignancy. Angubindin-1, a novel LSR ligand peptide, regulates tTJs without cytotoxicity, enhances paracellular permeability, and regulates epithelial barrier via c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/cofilin. In this study, we investigated the immune-modulatory roles of an anti-LSR antibody in the treatment of EEC in vitro compared to those of angubindin-1. We prepared an antibody against the extracellular N-terminal domain of human LSR (LSR-N-ab) and angubindin-1. EEC cell-line Sa
