Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of TFF3 in the pathogenesis of Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD), and explore the dynamic changes of TFF3 expression pattern in renal injury process. METHODS DKD animal model was established by streptozotocin (STZ) (40 mg/kg/d, ip, for 5 days, consecutively) combined with the high fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks. While animals were sacrificed at different time stages in DKD process (4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively). RESULTS STZ combined with high-fat diet induced weight gain, increased blood glucose and decreased glucose tolerance in DKD mice. Compared to the control group, the DKD group exhibits extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation and the renal injury was aggravated in a time-dependent manner. The TFF3 expression level was decreased in kidney, and increased in colon tissue. CONCLUSION TFF3 is not only expressed in colon, but also expressed in renal medulla and cortex. TFF3 might be play a pivotal role in renal mucosal repair by gut-kidney crosstalk, and protect renal from high glucose microenvironment damage.

Salivary Trefoil Factor Family (TFF) Peptides and Their Roles in Oral and Esophageal Protection: Therapeutic Potential. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212221. [PMID: 34830103 PMCID: PMC8624312 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222212221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Human saliva is a complex body fluid with more than 3000 different identified proteins. Besides rheological and lubricating properties, saliva supports wound healing and acts as an antimicrobial barrier. TFF peptides are secreted from the mucous acini of the major and minor salivary glands and are typical constituents of normal saliva; TFF3 being the predominant peptide compared with TFF1 and TFF2. Only TFF3 is easily detectable by Western blotting. It occurs in two forms, a disulfide-linked homodimer (Mr: 13k) and a high-molecular-mass heterodimer with IgG Fc binding protein (FCGBP). TFF peptides are secretory lectins known for their protective effects in mucous epithelia; the TFF3 dimer probably has wound-healing properties due to its weak motogenic effect. There are multiple indications that FCGBP and TFF3-FCGBP play a key role in the innate immune defense of mucous epithelia. In addition, homodimeric TFF3 interacts in vitro with the salivary agglutinin DMBT1gp340. Here, the protective roles of TFF peptides, FCGBP, and DMBT1gp340 in saliva are discussed. TFF peptides are also used to reduce radiotherapy- or chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis. Thus, TFF peptides, FCGBP, and DMBT1gp340 are promising candidates for better formulations of artificial saliva, particularly improving wound healing and antimicrobial effects even in the esophagus.

Abstract
Trefoil factors 1, 2, and 3 (TFFs) are a family of small secretory molecules involved in the protection and repair of the gastrointestinal tract (GI). TFFs maintain and restore epithelial structural integrity via transducing key signaling pathways for epithelial cell migration, proliferation, and invasion. In recent years, TFFs have emerged as key players in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases, especially cancer. Initially recognized as tumor suppressors, emerging evidence demonstrates their key role in tumor progression and metastasis, extending their actions beyond protection. However, to date, a comprehensive understanding of TFFs' mechanism of action in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis remains obscure. The present review discusses the structural, functional and mechanistic implications of all three TFF family members in tumor progression and metastasis. Also, we have garnered information from studies on their structure and expression status in different organs, along with lessons from their specific knockout in mouse models. In addition, we highlight the emerging potential of using TFFs as a biomarker to stratify tumors for better therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Objective
As a follow-up to our previous study that demonstrated decreased salivary trefoil factor family 3 (TFF3) peptide levels in chronic periodontitis patients, this current study aimed to observe the effects of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on salivary TFF3 peptides in patients with periodontal diseases.
Materials and Methods
Eighty-seven volunteers that comprised of 30 individuals with healthy periodontium, 31 with gingivitis, and 26 with chronic periodontitis were considered for the study. Prior to periodontal treatment, a general periodontal examination was performed along with collection of saliva samples from each volunteer. Nonsurgical periodontal treatments were provided to patients with gingivitis and periodontitis. Two weeks post-treatment, saliva samples were recollected, and the periodontal status was re-evaluated. Salivary TFF3 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Statistical Analysis
Mann–Whitney U test was used when the investigated data were not normally distributed. Chi-squared test was used when dealing with categorical data. Kruskal–Wallis test with post-hoc corrections was used to compare data among the three investigated groups. Two-tailed
p
< 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results
Prior to the periodontal treatment, salivary TFF3 concentrations in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis were significantly lower than those with healthy periodontium. Two weeks post-treatment, increased levels of salivary TFF3 were observed in patients with gingivitis, whereas the concentrations decreased in patients with chronic periodontitis.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated the effects of periodontal disease on the production of salivary TFF3 peptides. Interestingly, nonsurgical periodontal treatment also affected the recovery of salivary TFF3 peptides but varied in their outcomes between gingivitis and periodontitis patients.

Immunostick Test for Detecting ζ-Globin Chains and Screening of the Southeast Asian α-Thalassemia 1 Deletion. Biol Proced Online 2019; 21:15. [PMID: 31388336 PMCID: PMC6670165 DOI: 10.1186/s12575-019-0104-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2019] [Accepted: 06/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Couples who carry α-thalassemia-1 deletion are at 25% risk of having a fetus with hemoglobin Bart’s hydrops fetalis. Southeast Asian deletion (−-(SEA)) is the most common type of α-thalassemia 1 among Southeast Asian populations. Thus, identification of the (−-(SEA)) α-thalassemia 1 carrier is necessary for controlling severe α-thalassemia in Southeast Asian countries. Results Using our generated anti ζ-globin chain monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) clones PL2 and PL3, a simple immunostick test for detecting ζ-globin chain presence in whole blood lysates was developed. The procedure of the developed immunostick test was as follows. The immunostick paddles were coated with 50 μg/mL of mAb PL2 as capture mAb, or other control antibodies. The coated immunostick was dipped into cocktail containing tested hemolysate at dilution of 1:500, 0.25 μg/mL biotin-labeled mAb PL3 and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin at dilution of 1:1000. The immunostick was then dipped in precipitating substrate and the presence of ζ-globin chain in the tested sample was observed by the naked eye. Upon validation of the developed immunostick test with various types of thalassemia and normal subjects, 100% sensitivity and 82% specificity for detection of the (−-(SEA)) α-thalassemia-1 carriers were achieved. The mAb pre-coated immunostick can be stored at room temperature for at least 20 weeks. Conclusion In this study, a novel simple immunostick test for the screening of (−-(SEA)) α-thalassemia 1 carriers was presented. The developed immunostick test, within a single test, contains both positive and negative internal procedural controls.
