Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab208566 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab208566, 1/50 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab199091) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 530/30 bandpass filter.

Supplementary information

S100A4 also known as metastasin or MTS1 is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 12 kDa. It functions by binding calcium which induces conformational changes aiding in its interaction with target proteins. S100A4 is part of the S100 family of proteins characterized by two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. Expression of S100A4 is observed in various cell types including fibroblasts endothelial cells and several tumor cells where it contributes to processes like cell motility invasion and angiogenesis.
Biological function summary

The role of S100A4 extends beyond mere calcium binding; it associates with the cytoskeleton promoting cell structures related to movement and metastasis. It does not act alone but often partners with proteins like myosin IIA to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics. Additionally S100A4 modulates extracellular matrix components and interacts with signaling pathways that control cancer progression making it significant in both normal physiological contexts and pathological states.

Pathways

Functional activities of S100A4 integrate into important pathways involved in cellular movement and metastasis. S100A4 plays roles in the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway which is pivotal for cell-cell interaction and fate determination. It also interacts with matrix metalloproteinases like MMPs thereby managing processes of tissue invasion and remodeling essential in cancer metastasis. Other pathways influencing cell adhesion and signal transduction may indirectly involve S100A4 through related proteins.

Elevated S100A4 levels have implications in cancer particularly in enhancing metastasis in breast and colorectal cancers. The protein promotes tumor developments by inducing changes in the tumor microenvironment making it a target of interest in oncology. S100A4 also interacts with proteins like p53 and β-catenin which are critical in the pathology of tumors. Moreover S100A4 contributes to fibrotic diseases accentuating tissue remodeling activities by modulating fibroblast behavior and extracellular matrix deposition.

Target data

Calcium-binding protein that plays a role in various cellular processes including motility, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, apoptosis, and autophagy (PubMed : 16707441, PubMed : 23752197, PubMed : 30713770). Increases cell motility and invasiveness by interacting with non-muscle myosin heavy chain (NMMHC) IIA/MYH9 (PubMed : 16707441). Mechanistically, promotes filament depolymerization and increases the amount of soluble myosin-IIA, resulting in the formation of stable protrusions facilitating chemotaxis (By similarity). Also modulates the pro-apoptotic function of TP53 by binding to its C-terminal transactivation domain within the nucleus and reducing its protein levels (PubMed : 23752197). Within the extracellular space, stimulates cytokine production including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and CCL24 from T-lymphocytes (By similarity). In addition, stimulates T-lymphocyte chemotaxis by acting as a chemoattractant complex with PGLYRP1 that promotes lymphocyte migration via CCR5 and CXCR3 receptors (PubMed : 26654597, PubMed : 30713770).
