Abstract
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor. Previous reports have shown that TFPI-2 plays an important role in innate immunity, and the C-terminal region of TFPI-2 proved to be active against a broad-spectrum of microorganisms. In this study, the TFPI-2 homologue (SsTFPI-2) of black rockfish (Sebastods schegelii) was analyzed and characterized, and the biological functions of its C-terminal derived peptide TS40 (FVSRQSCMDVCAKGAKQHTSRGNVRRARRNRKNRITYLQA, corresponding to the amino acid sequence of 187-226) was investigated. The qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR) analysis showed that the expression of SsTFPI-2 was higher in the spleen and liver. The expression of SsTFPI-2 increased significantly under the stimulation of Listonella anguillarum. TS40 had a strong bactericidal effect on L. anguillarum and Staphylococcus aureus. Further studies found that TS40 can destroy the cell structure and enter the cytoplasm to interact with nucleic acids to exert its antibacterial activity. The in vivo study showed that TS40 treatment could significantly reduce the transmission of L. anguillarum and the viral evasion in fish. Finally, TS40 enhanced the respiratory burst ability, reactive oxygen species production and the expression of immune-related genes in macrophages, as well as promoted the proliferation of peripheral blood leukocytes. These results provide new insights into the role of teleost TFPI-2.

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 is a potent kallikrein-related protease 12 inhibitor. Biol Chem 2021; 402:1257-1268.

Abstract
The protease activities are tightly regulated by inhibitors and dysregulation contribute to pathological processes such as cancer and inflammatory disorders. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2) is a serine proteases inhibitor, that mainly inhibits plasmin. This protease activated matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and degraded extracellular matrix. Other serine proteases are implicated in these mechanisms like kallikreins (KLKs). In this study, we identified for the first time that TFPI-2 is a potent inhibitor of KLK5 and 12. Computer modeling showed that the first Kunitz domain of TFPI-2 could interact with residues of KLK12 near the catalytic triad. Furthermore, like plasmin, KLK12 was able to activate proMMP-1 and -3, with no effect on proMMP-9. Thus, the inhibition of KLK12 by TFPI-2 greatly reduced the cascade activation of these MMPs and the cleavage of cysteine-rich 61, a matrix signaling protein. Moreover, when TFPI-2 bound to extracellular matrix, its classical localisation, the KLK12 inhibition was retained. Finally, TFPI-2 was downregulated in human non-small-cell lung tumour tissue as compared with non-affected lung tissue. These data suggest that TFPI-2 is a potent inhibitor of KLK12 and could regulate matrix remodeling and cancer progression mediated by KLK12.

Abstract
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) is a matrix-associated kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitor that plays an important role in plasmin and trypsin-mediated activation of zymogen matrix metalloproteinases involved in tumor angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. Earlier studies have shown that the production of TFPI-2 is downregulated during the progression of various tumors. To detect whether TFPI-2 can be expressed in human pancreatic carcinoma samples, to evaluate its prognostic significance on pancreatic carcinoma and to investigate its effect on tumor invasion and metastasis, we collected 9 normal pancreatic tissue samples and 41 pancreatic carcinoma samples and stably transfected the human pancreatic carcinoma cell line Panc-1 with a vector capable of expressing TFPI-2 gene. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of TFPI-2 in pancreatic carcinoma samples was markedly lower than that in normal pancreas samples, and there was no TFPI-2 expression in Panc-1 cell. Its expression was related with biological characters of pancreatic carcinoma. The results of Boyden chamber assay and orthotopic pancreatic carcinoma model showed that TFPI-2 could inhibit invasion and metastasis ability of pancreatic carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazards model assay identified TFPI-2 as an independent prognostic factor for pancreatic carcinoma. Our data suggest that TFPI-2 plays a significant role in the invasion and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma cell in vitro and in vivo and is determined to be an important prognostic factor for pancreatic carcinoma patients.

Abstract
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2), also known as placental protein and matrix-associated serine protease inhibitor, plays an important role in angiogenesis, intravascular fibrinolysis, wound healing, tumor invasion, metastasis by plasmin, and trypsin mediated activation of zymogen matrix metalloproteinases. To detect whether TFPI-2 can be expressed in human pancreatic carcinoma samples and to investigate its role in the growth, invasion, and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma cell in vitro and in vivo, we collected eight normal pancreatic tissue samples and 50 pancreatic carcinoma samples, and stably transfected the human pancreatic carcinoma cell line Panc-1 with a vector capable of expressing TFPI-2 gene. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed that the levels of TFPI-2 expression were markedly lower in pancreatic carcinoma samples compared with normal pancreas samples. The level of TFPI-2 protein was significantly higher in cells transfected with TFPI-2 gene than that in the untransfected cells. The results of MTT assay showed that TFPI-2 inhibited Panc-1 cells growth in vitro. The invasive capacity of the cells transfected with TFPI-2 gene was also markedly less than that of untransfected cells in vitro as determined by the Matrigel invasion/migration assay. Moreover, TFPI-2 inhibited tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis in vivo in an orthotopic pancreatic carcinoma model. Our findings suggest that TFPI-2 plays a significant role in the growth, invasion, and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma cell in vitro and in vivo, and has potential in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Human tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (hTFPI-2) has three kunitz domains whose structure and function are unclear. We expressed the first kunitz domain of hTFPI-2 (hTFPI-2/KD1) as functional form using Pichia pastoris and investigated its characterization. In the experiment, hTFPI-2/KD1 can inhibit the plasmin and trypsin activity and the Ki of hTFPI-2/KD1 towards plasmin (30nM) and trypsin (50nM) was determined as 10 and 7nM by chromogenic assay, respectively. hTFPI-2/KD1 can also inhibit MMP-2 and MMP-9 in zymography assay. Furthermore, the inhibition of hTFPI-2/KD1 to the Matrigel invasion by HT-1080 is also described. This study provides a method to produce hTFPI-2/KD1 efficiently and some insights into the structure and function of hTFPI-2/KD1.
