TGM2 Monoclonal Antibody

1. Data suggest that disulfide bond switch in allosteric activation/inactivation of TGM2 is example of post-translational redox regulation that is reversibly and allosterically modulated by two proteins (ERp57 and TRX). (TGM2 = transglutaminase 2; ERp57 = endoplasmic reticulum resident protein 57; TRX = thioredoxin-1) PMID: 29305423
2. This suggests that TGase 2 has an allosteric binding site (81-116 a.a) which changes the conformation of TGase 2 enough to accelerate inactivation through self-polymer formation. PMID: 30105541
3. Taken together, the present data suggested a potentially important role for TGM2 in the regulation of osteosarcoma chemosensitivity. TGM2 might therefore serve as a therapeutic target for osteosarcoma. PMID: 30015899
4. Multiple symptoms and high serum anti-tTG antibody levels correlated with mucosal damage in children with Celiac disease. PMID: 30016777

6. A long non-coding RNA is located within the first intron of transglutaminase 2 gene. LOC107987281 lncRNA is induced when levels of TGM2 transcripts are also increased, for example after drug treatment. In addition, correlation analysis between the expression of this lncRNA and TGM2 demonstrated that occurs in relation to the development of several tumors affecting pancreas, stomach and kidney.

10. Gluten-free diet compliance and lower antitissue transglutaminase (atTG) at diagnosis are predictors of earlier normalization of atTG levels in patients with celiac disease.

12. Serum tissue transglutaminase antibody was elevated in almost one-quarter of an eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) cohort, and at least 20% of these patients did not have potential celiac disease, suggesting EoE is a heterogeneous disease with differing immune mechanisms activated in some patients.

16. 19% of pediatric celiac disease patients treated with a gluten-free diet had persistent enteropathy. At the time of the repeat biopsy, tTG was elevated in 43% of cases with persistent enteropathy and 32% of cases in which there was mucosal recovery. Overall the positive predictive value of the autoantibody tTG was 25% and the negative predictive value was 83% in patients on a gluten-free diet for a median of 2.4 years. PMID: 28112686

26. An increased chondrocyte TGM2 expression characterized human osteoarthritis cartilage degeneration, but not trabecular bone tissue remodeling independently from the cause. PMID: 27357308
27. High TGM2 expression is associated with recurrence in Glioma. PMID: 28754668
28. Exosomes from cells lacking TG2 present less protein content. Proteasome inhibition leads to the selective recruitment of TG2 in the exosomes. TG2 is an important player in the biogenesis of exosomes controlling the selectivity of their cargo under stressful cellular conditions. PMID: 27169926
29. High transglutaminase 2 expression is associated with colorectal cancer. PMID: 28223538

31. these findings ascribe a novel function for ALDH1A3 in an aggressive glioma stem cells phenotype via the up-regulation of tissue transglutaminase PMID: 28423611
32. Data show that carboxyl-terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP) promotes polyubiquitination of transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and its subsequent proteasomal degradation. PMID: 26568304
33. No clear evidence for an association of tTGA or EMA seropositivity with incident coronary heart disease outcomes, suggesting that tTG autoimmunity is unlikely to be the biological link between coeliac disease and CHD. PMID: 28756971
34. the TG2 enzymatic activity was negligibly affected by bexarotene treatment. It is important to control TG2 overexpression since its upregulation is correlated with tumor transformation and drug resistance. Bexarotene also showed in vivo tumoricidal effects in a GBM xenograft mouse model. Therefore, we suggest bexarotene as a more beneficial differentiation agent than ATRA for GBM. PMID: 26957434
