Restin, a homologous protein of endostatin, was found by Ramchandran et al. It was the C-terminal fragment of type XV collagen. To analysis the inhibition activity of mouse restin on the proliferation of endothelial cells, the cDNA of restin was amplified from the total RNA of the mouse muscle and cloned into the prokaryotic expression plasmid pQE32. The recombinant protein was expressed in inclusion body with a yield about 60%--70% of total protein. After refolding, the purified recombinant protein specifically inhibits bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cell proliferation stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in a dose-dependent manner, but the activity of restin was weaker than that of endostatin. Treatment of BAE cell with recombinant restin caused G(1) arrest and apoptosis in BAE cells.

Human endostatin cDNA was cloned from total RNA of normal Chinese liver cell line L02 by RT-PCR. Endostatin DNA sequence encoded 184 amino acid residues. Five base pairs and 3 amino acid residues are different from that reported, it may be due to interspecies difference. The endostatin cDNA was inserted into the pET-28a(+) containing T7 promoter. The recombinant plasmid was transformed the E.coli BL21(DE3). Recombinant human endostatin was highly expressed as inclusion body when the expression strain BL-ENDO was induced with 1 mmol/L IPTG. Result of SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that recombinant human endostatin was accounted for up to 25% of soluble protein in E.coli. Purified and refolded recombinant human endostatin was active in inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis.

Restin, a homologous protein of endostatin (62% homology), is the NC domain of collagen XV at C-terminal. The recombinant restin expressed in E. coli had the ability to suppress the proliferation of bovin aortic endothelial cells and cause apoptosis. In this report, mouse restin gene was fused with a sequence of human plasminogen signal peptide by PCR and cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3. The plasmid containing restin gene was named pCDNAXV and was transfected into human hepatoma cell line Bel7404. Stable transfected clones were screened and expression of restin was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot. The proliferated cells were injected subcutaneusly into nude mice. The growth of tumors formed by cells transfected with restin gene was much slower than that of control group. These results indicated that the expressed restin in vivo could suppress the growth of tumor, and this suppression might be achieved by restraining angiogenesis since the restin had no effect on the proliferation of tumor cells. At the same time, this report provided a new method to investigate the effect of anti-angiogenetic proteins on the tumor growth.

A novel protein with ATPase activity was purified from the cytoplasmic extracts of maize pollen by acetone precipitation, ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by DEAE-Sephadex A(50) and Mono S ion-exchange chromatography. The molecular weight was about 28 kD as determined by SDS-PAGE and the isoelectric point was pH 8.3 by IEF-PAGE. Western blotting analysis showed the 28 kD protein had no specific immuno-reactions with the anti-kinesin monoclonal or the anti-dynamin polyclonal antibodies. The maximum ultraviolet absorbance was at 278 nm, CD spectrum analysis showed the that 28 kD protein with the feature of a globulin. Pharmacological studies indicated that the enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Na(3)VO(4) but insensitive to NEM. It was inhibited about 50% by NaF. Oligomycin, KNO(3) and ouabain had no effects on its ATPase activity.
