Detection of Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP by Western Blot

FAP expression is up-regulated in the myocardium of isoproterenol (ISO) mice and in cardiac fibroblasts upon TGF-beta 1 stimulation. (A) Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis showing messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of Col1 alpha 1, Acta2, and FAP in heart tissue from ISO-treated mice. n = 6. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001. (B) Western blotting analysis of Col1 alpha 1, alpha -smooth muscle actin ( alpha -SMA), and FAP protein expressions in the hearts of mice treated with ISO or saline. (C) Sirius Red staining and immunohistochemical staining for FAP in hearts from ISO-treated mice. (D) mRNA expression levels of Col1 alpha 1, Acta2, and FAP in neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (NRCFs) treated with TGF-beta 1 (10 ng/ml) for 24 h, assessed by qPCR. (E) Western blotting analysis of FAP protein expression in NRCFs after TGF-beta 1 treatment. (F) Flow cytometry analysis of FAP protein expression in NRCFs following TGF-beta 1 treatment. (G) Immunofluorescence (IF) analysis of FAP protein expression in NRCFs post-TGF-beta 1 treatment. IHC, immunohistochemical; Col I, type I collagen; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; Ctrl, control; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.

Background: Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha/FAP

FAP (also known as seprase) is a 95 kDa Type II transmembrane serine protease that is structurally related to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV/CD26) (1, 2). Within the extracellular domain, mouse FAP shares 90% and 97% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat FAP, respectively (3, 4). Alternative splicing of mouse FAP generates isoforms with a 33 aa or 5 aa deletion in the extracellular juxtamembrane region (3). FAP is expressed on reactive stromal fibroblasts in tumor tissue and wound healing and on synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis (1, 5-7). It exhibits dipeptidyl peptidase activity with substrate specificity similar to DPPIV, which is specific for N-terminal Xaa-Pro sequences (5, 8). FAP is also an endopeptidase that can degrade Gelatin, Collagens I and IV, Fibronectin, and Laminin (1, 5, 8) as well as several peptide hormones (e.g. Neuropeptide Y, Brain Natriuretic Peptide, Substance P, Peptide YY, and Incretins) (9). The enzymatic activity is dependent on FAP association with DPPIV on the cell surface (5, 8, 10, 11). The matrix-dedgrading activity of FAP contributes to tumor cell migration and invasion (10-13). In addition, FAP can enhance tumor cell growth by limiting the development of anti-tumor immunity (14).
