Aims: P311 is an 8 kDa protein that has been shown to be of importance in the process of myofibroblast transformation, glioblastoma invasion and nerve regeneration. However, the interaction protein of P311 has yet to be found. The purpose of this study was to find the interactive protein of P311.
Main Methods: The yeast two-hybrid system was used for screening the potential interaction proteins of P311. Joint expression of the potential interactive protein and P311 was immunohistochemically stained. The interaction between P311 and the selected protein was further confirmed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) in pulmonary adenocarcinoma tissue sections, and by coimmunoprecipitation in HEK293.
Key Findings: Integrin β4 binding protein (ITGB4BP) was confirmed as the interaction protein of P311. Co-expression and interaction of ITGB4BP and P311 were demonstrated in pulmonary adenocarcinoma by both immunohistochemistry and FRET. Moreover the interaction between P311 and ITGB4BP was demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation in HEK293.
Significance: The interactions between P311 and ITGB4BP may be very important in the process of tumor cell differentiation and metastasis. ITGB4BP may provide a potential new target for the therapy of tumors.

Liver fibrosis (LF) is a clinical disorder characterized by inflammation and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). This study investigates the effects of the antifibrotic compound pirfenidone (PFD) on improving LF through histological changes and modulation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (eIF6), P311, and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) in rats with bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced LF. Rats received daily doses of PFD (200 and 500 mg/kg) for 4 weeks.

Background: P311, a highly conserved 8 kDa intracellular protein, has recently been reported to play an important role in aggravating hypertrophic scaring by promoting the differentiation and secretion of fibroblasts. Nevertheless, how P311 regulates the differentiation and function of fibroblasts to affect granulation tissue formation remains unclear. In this work, we studied the underlying mechanisms via which P311 affects fibroblasts and promotes acute skin wound repair.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease. We recently discovered that neuronal regeneration-related protein (NREP/P311), an epigenetically regulated gene reprogrammed by parental metabolic syndrome, is downregulated in human NAFLD. To investigate the impact of NREP insufficiency, we used RNA-sequencing, lipidomics, and antibody microarrays on primary human hepatocytes.

To explore the effect of P311 microspheres-loaded thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel on the wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in rats. The method of experimental study was adopted. The polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate microspheres (simple microspheres), P311 microspheres, and bovine serum albumin labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-BSA) microspheres were prepared by water-in-oil emulsification, and then their morphology was observed under a light microscope/inverted fluorescence microscope.

Engineering smart nano-therapeutics for re-epithelialisation of chronic wounds facilitates the wound healing process. However, due to excessive oxidative stress damage and persistent inflammation in diabetic wound microenvironment, the migration of stimulating epidermal cells in diabetic wounds represents a significant challenge. Here we synthesised P311-loaded micelles by self-assembly of P311 peptides and diblock copolymer poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (propylene sulfide) (PEG-b-PPS, denoted as PEPS) that have unique ability to transform an oxidative wound microenvironment into a proregenerative one while also providing cues for epidermal cell migration.
