Disease relevance of Postn

  • periostin null mice exhibit dwarfism, incisor enamel defects, and an early-onset periodontal disease-like phenotype [1].
  • We found here that periostin mRNA expression is markedly downregulated in a variety of human cancer cell lines and human lung cancer tissues [2].
  • Human cancer cell lines with reduced endogenous periostin gene expression that were infected with a recombinant retrovirus containing the periostin gene had reduced anchorage-independent growth [2].
  • The establishment of the baculovirus expression system with a high productivity of recombinant OSF-2 (around 40 micrograms/ml at maximum) and its heparin binding properties should allow us to obtain large amounts of rmOSF-2 [3].
  • The data suggest that in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus the balance between beta cell destruction, associated with intra-islet infiltration, and nondestructive (potential protective) peri-islet insulitis may depend on both the antigens recognized, and the prevailing cytokine environment [4].
 

Psychiatry related information on Postn

  • Our findings suggest that the time between PN 3 and PN 7 represents a critical period during which elements of the OPL are assembled [5].
  • Mice that were selected for over 108 generations for body weight at the postnatal (PN) day 21 were examined in the open field (OF) test and in the Lashley maze (LM) for their exploratory behavior and spatial learning [6].
 

High impact information on Postn

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Postn

  • An alternative explanation for glutamate-mediated injury is hypoxia due to peri-infarct spreading depression-like depolarizations [9].
  • These data demonstrate an active role for periostin in EMT and metastasis that requires cross-talk between integrin and EGFR signaling pathways [10].
  • The proinflammatory and potential neurotoxic cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is produced by activated CNS resident microglia and infiltrating blood-borne macrophages in infarct and peri-infarct areas following induction of focal cerebral ischemia [11].
  • Reproductive toxicity of gamma-ethyl-gamma-phenyl-butyrolactone, a new anticonvulsant and hypnotic drug, in mice. Fertility and peri- and post-natal studies [12].
  • These preliminary results suggest that peri-operative administration of nafamostat mesilate may prevent metastasis into the liver after surgery for gastrointestinal malignancies [13].
 

Biological context of Postn

 

Anatomical context of Postn

  • In the periostin-rich areas of jaw bones, but not in the long bones, portions of AAC-like mineralized layers were often replaced with and/or covered by acellular extrinsic fiber cementum (AEFC)-like tissue [16].
  • Because TGF-beta has dramatic effects on periosteal expansion and the recruitment of osteoblast precursors, this factor was tested for its effects on periostin expression [15].
  • Identification and characterization of a novel protein, periostin, with restricted expression to periosteum and periodontal ligament and increased expression by transforming growth factor beta [15].
  • Based on this observation and the fact that other proteins have been called OSF-2, the protein was renamed "periostin." Western blot analysis showed that periostin is a disulfide linked 90 kDa protein secreted by osteoblasts and osteoblast-like cell lines [15].
  • Periostin mRNA is initially present within the E9.5 first branchial arch epithelium and then shifts to underlying ectomesenchyme [17].
 

Associations of Postn with chemical compounds

  • Tunicamycin treatment of infected cells resulted in a mobility shift of OSF-2 (approximately 90-kDa band) on Western blots [3].
  • These studies indicate that tumorigenic activity of methylated phenanthrenes requires inhibition of dihydrodiol formation at the K-region (9,10-positions) in addition to a bay-region methyl group and a free peri position, both adjacent to an unsubstituted angular ring [18].
  • Odor deprivation and a decrease in functional activity in experimental bulbs was evident from deoxyglucose autoradiographs at PN 21 and PN 30 [19].
  • The generation of peri-infarct spreading depressions and the associated metabolic workload can be suppressed by NMDA and non-NMDA antagonists [9].
  • The expression of osteoblast-specific factor 2 and leukocyte 12/15 lipoxygenase, which are also expressed in LE under the control of P4, were not increased by LIF [20].
 

Regulatory relationships of Postn

  • Spatiotemporal comparison of the fasciclin-containing secreted adhesion genes, TGFbeta induced clone H3 (betaigH3) and periostin, revealed that they are co-localized within the outflow tract endocardial cushions, but that betaigH3 expression is restricted to the septal cushions within the atrioventricular canal [21].
