Left panel : with primary antibody at 1 ug/ml. Right panel : isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS), then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes, and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

Supplementary information

SerpinB2 also known as PAI-2 or plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 is a serine protease inhibitor with a molecular mass of around 60 kDa. This protein localizes mostly in the cytoplasm and occasionally gets secreted outside the cell. SerpinB2 expresses in a variety of cells including monocytes macrophages and certain epithelial cells. Its primary function involves inhibiting the urokinase plasminogen activator important for processes like fibrinolysis and tissue remodeling.
Biological function summary

SerpinB2 acts as a protector against excessive proteolysis by regulating extracellular matrix hydrolysis. While not permanently part of a complex SerpinB2 associates transiently with target proteases to modulate their activities. This regulation plays a role in cell migration and inflammation control impacting wound healing and immune responses.

Pathways

SerpinB2 integrates into the plasminogen activation system which is important for fibrinolysis and maintaining hemostatic balance. It works closely with other serpins and proteases such as PAI-1 and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to control the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. This balance impacts tissue repair and may influence invasive cell behavior through the regulation of pericellular proteolysis.

SerpinB2's alteration has been linked to the development of atherosclerosis and cancer. Research shows that SerpinB2 levels can influence the inflammatory environment possibly driving atherogenic plaque development. Similarly changes in SerpinB2 expression and activity relate to cancer metastasis potentially by affecting the balance of matrix degradation and rebuilding alongside proteins like PAI-1 and uPA to modulate tumor invasiveness and growth.
