Function

S100A8 is a calcium- and zinc-binding protein which plays a prominent role in the regulation of inflammatory processes and immune response. It can induce neutrophil chemotaxis and adhesion. Predominantly found as calprotectin (S100A8/A9) which has a wide plethora of intra- and extracellular functions. The intracellular functions include: facilitating leukocyte arachidonic acid trafficking and metabolism, modulation of the tubulin-dependent cytoskeleton during migration of phagocytes and activation of the neutrophilic NADPH-oxidase. Participates also in regulatory T-cell differentiation together with CD69. Activates NADPH-oxidase by facilitating the enzyme complex assembly at the cell membrane, transferring arachidonic acid, an essential cofactor, to the enzyme complex and S100A8 contributes to the enzyme assembly by directly binding to NCF2/P67PHOX. The extracellular functions involve pro-inflammatory, antimicrobial, oxidant-scavenging and apoptosis-inducing activities. Its pro-inflammatory activity includes recruitment of leukocytes, promotion of cytokine and chemokine production, and regulation of leukocyte adhesion and migration. Acts as an alarmin or a danger associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule and stimulates innate immune cells via binding to pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (AGER). Binding to TLR4 and AGER activates the MAP-kinase and NF-kappa-B signaling pathways resulting in the amplification of the pro-inflammatory cascade. Has antimicrobial activity towards bacteria and fungi and exerts its antimicrobial activity probably via chelation of Zn(2+) which is essential for microbial growth. Can induce cell death via autophagy and apoptosis and this occurs through the cross-talk of mitochondria and lysosomes via reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the process involves BNIP3. Can regulate neutrophil number and apoptosis by an anti-apoptotic effect; regulates cell survival via ITGAM/ITGB and TLR4 and a signaling mechanism involving MEK-ERK. Its role as an oxidant scavenger has a protective role in preventing exaggerated tissue damage by scavenging oxidants. The iNOS-S100A8/A9 transnitrosylase complex is proposed to direct selective inflammatory stimulus-dependent S-nitrosylation of multiple targets such as GAPDH, ANXA5, EZR, MSN and VIM by recognizing a [IL]-x-C-x-x-[DE] motif; S100A8 seems to contribute to S-nitrosylation site selectivity (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Upon infection by murine coronavirus (MHV-A59), induces expansion of aberrant immature neutrophils in a TLR4-dependent manner.

Notes

Mouse S100A8 ELISA Kit (ab263886) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of S100A8 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse S100A8 with 7.97 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

S100A8 is a protein also known as calgranulin A that is encoded by the S100A8 gene. Moreover, it is a calcium and zinc binding protein, which serves a vital role in the regulation of inflammatory process and immune response. Also involved in a wide variety of intra and extracellular functions such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. Studies have shown altered expression of S100A8 to be associated with cystic fibrosis. S100A8 is known to bind with S100A9 in which forms a heterodimer called calprotectin.

Activity summary

S100A8 also known as calprotectin or MRP8 is a calcium-binding protein with a molecular weight of around 10.8 kDa. It is a member of the S100 protein family and is found expressed in myeloid cells such as neutrophils and monocytes. This protein often forms a heterodimer complex with S100A9 together referred to as calprotectin which plays a critical role in the immune response. Researchers frequently utilize calprotectin fecal ELISA MRP8 ELISA or calprotectin serum immunoassay to measure its levels in various biological samples.

Biological function summary

The S100A8/S100A9 complex modulates inflammatory processes and immune responses. It acts as a pro-inflammatory mediator and is associated with leukocyte recruitment to sites of inflammation. This complex plays an important role in protecting cells from infections by inhibiting bacterial growth through sequestration of nutrient metals showcasing antimicrobial properties. Calprotectin significantly impacts immune responses and has become an interesting target for calprotectin ELISA kits to quantify its presence in plasma and other bodily fluids indicating inflammation.

Pathways

S100A8 and its partner S100A9 are involved in toll-like receptor and receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) signaling pathways. These pathways are key in mediating inflammatory responses and linking to innate immunity. The calgranulin A ELISA is often used to evaluate their involvement in these pathways helping to elucidate interactions with other proteins like calmodulin that play a role in cellular regulation processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

S100A8 is strongly associated with inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Its elevated expression levels serve as a biomarker for these conditions highlighting its potential for diagnostic use via calprotectin ELISA kits. S100A8's relationship with S100A9 supports its connection to these diseases reflecting the complex's significant presence and functional role in chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation.

    Interpolated concentrations of native S100A8 in mouse serum, plasma and tissue culture supernatant samples.

    The concentrations of S100A8 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the S100A8 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 12.5%, plasma (citrate) 5%, plasma EDTA 5%, plasma (heparin) 25% and lung supernatant 5%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean S100A8 concentration was determined to be 1,163 pg/mL in serum, 5,005 pg/mL in plasma (citrate) and 9,576 pg/mL in plasma (EDTA), 920.1 pg/mL in plasma (heparin), and 9,214 pg/mL in lung supernatant.
