ab109131 staining TMPRSS2 in Human prostate adenocarcinoma tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed and paraffin-embedded, antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in Tris/EDTA buffer pH9. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/1000). An undiluted HRP-conjugated mouse anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Tissue counterstained with Hematoxylin. PBS was used in the negative control rather than the Primary antibody.

Western blot - Anti-TMPRSS2 antibody [EPR3862] (AB109131)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-TMPRSS2 antibody [EPR3862] staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red.

In Western blot, ab109131 was shown to bind specifically to TMPRSS2. A band was observed at 55, 25 kDa in wild-type LNCaP and at 25 kDa in Caco-2 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TMPRSS2 knockout LNCaP cell line ab273745 (knockout LNCaP cell lysate ab275499) and TMPRSS2 knockout Caco-2 cell line ab273737 (knockout Caco-2 cell lysate ab277340).

To generate this image, wild-type and TMPRSS2 knockout cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Target data

Plasma membrane-anchored serine protease that cleaves at arginine residues (PubMed : 32703818, PubMed : 35676539, PubMed : 37990007, PubMed : 38964328). Participates in proteolytic cascades of relevance for the normal physiologic function of the prostate (PubMed : 25122198). Androgen-induced TMPRSS2 activates several substrates that include pro-hepatocyte growth factor/HGF, the protease activated receptor-2/F2RL1 or matriptase/ST14 leading to extracellular matrix disruption and metastasis of prostate cancer cells (PubMed : 15537383, PubMed : 25122198, PubMed : 26018085). In addition, activates trigeminal neurons and contribute to both spontaneous pain and mechanical allodynia (By similarity).. (Microbial infection) Facilitates human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections via two independent mechanisms, proteolytic cleavage of ACE2 receptor which promotes viral uptake, and cleavage of coronavirus spike glycoproteins which activates the glycoprotein for host cell entry (PubMed : 24227843, PubMed : 32142651, PubMed : 32404436, PubMed : 33051876, PubMed : 34159616, PubMed : 35676539, PubMed : 37990007). The cleavage of SARS-COV2 spike glycoprotein occurs between the S2 and S2' site (PubMed : 32703818). Upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, increases syncytia formation by accelerating the fusion process (PubMed : 33051876, PubMed : 34159616, PubMed : 35676539). Proteolytically cleaves and activates the spike glycoproteins of human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and human coronavirus EMC (HCoV-EMC) and the fusion glycoproteins F0 of Sendai virus (SeV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human parainfluenza 1, 2, 3, 4a and 4b viruses (HPIV). Essential for spread and pathogenesis of influenza A virus (strains H1N1, H3N2 and H7N9); involved in proteolytic cleavage and activation of hemagglutinin (HA) protein which is essential for viral infectivity.. (Microbial infection) Receptor for human coronavirus HKU1-CoV, acts synergistically with disialoside glycans to facilitate the entry of the virus. After binding to cell-surface disialoside glycans, the viral S protein interacts with the inactive form of TMPRSS2 and inhibits its protease activity.
