An antiproliferative factor from interstitial cystitis patients is a frizzled 8 protein-related sialoglycopeptide.
Approximately 1 million people in the United States suffer from interstitial cystitis, a chronic painful urinary bladder disorder characterized by thinning or ulceration of the bladder epithelial lining; its etiology is unknown. We have identified a glycosylated frizzled-related peptide inhibitor of cell proliferation that is secreted specifically by bladder epithelial cells from patients with ...
متن کاملInterstitial cystitis antiproliferative factor (APF) as a cell-cycle modulator
BACKGROUND Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder disorder of unknown etiology. Antiproliferative factor (APF), a peptide found in the urine of IC patients, has previously been shown to decrease incorporation of thymidine by normal bladder epithelial cells. This study was performed to determine the effect of APF on the cell cycle of bladder epithelial cells so as to better understand i...
متن کاملAntiproliferative Factor Signaling and Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome
A unique glycopeptide, antiproliferative factor (APF), has been suggested as a urinary biomarker and potential mediator of long-term bladder disorder Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome. There is no known cause for this disease. Several mechanistic approaches have been employed to address the underlying mechanism whereby APF regulates cellular responses in the bladder epithelium. A s...
متن کاملPotential Use of Antiproliferative Factor as a Targeting Therapy in Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis
Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) encompasses a major portion of the “painful bladder” disease complex. “Painful bladder disorders” comprise a large group of patients with bladder and/or urethral and/or pelvic pain, irritative voiding symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia, and dysuria), and sterile urine cultures. Painful bladder conditions with well-established causes in...
متن کاملA Synthetic Form of Frizzled 8-Associated Antiproliferative Factor Enhances p53 Stability through USP2a and MDM2
Frizzled 8-associated Antiproliferative Factor (APF) is a sialoglycopeptide urinary biomarker of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS), a chronic condition of unknown etiology with variable symptoms that generally include pelvic and/or perineal pain, urinary frequency, and urgency. We previously reported that native human APF suppresses the proliferation of normal bladder epit...
