Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a well conserved and ubiquitously expressed multifunctional protein found in many organisms and is involved in many pathophysiological processes like cell proliferation, differentiation, development and cell death. The role of TCTP in anti-apoptosis and cancer metastasis makes it a promising candidate for cancer therapy. Dictyostelium discoideum, a protist, has two isoforms (TCTP1 and TCTP2, now referred to as TPT1 and TPT2) of which we have earlier elucidated TPT1.

Therapeutic efficacy of JEW-M449, an anti-TCTP monoclonal antibody, administered via the nasal route in a BALB/c mouse model of ovalbumin-induced acute asthma.

Numerous studies have highlighted the role of translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) as a key inflammatory mediator of asthma and allergies. Our previous study revealed that blocking the cytokine-like activity of TCTP using JEW-M449, an anti-TCTP monoclonal antibody (mAb), alleviated allergic inflammation in asthmatic mice. This study aimed to determine whether directly delivering JEW-M449 into the respiratory tract is a more effective way of mitigating airway inflammation in a mouse model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic airway inflammation than delivering this antibody via the intraperitoneal (IP) route.

Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP), also known as histamine-releasing factor (HRF) or fortilin, is a highly conserved protein found in various species. To date, multiple studies have demonstrated the crucial role of TCTP in a wide range of cellular pathophysiological processes, including cell proliferation and survival, cell cycle regulation, cell death, as well as cell migration and movement, all of which are major pathogenic mechanisms of tumorigenesis and development. This review aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the functional role of TCTP in tumor initiation and progression, with a particular focus on cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration.

Tick infestations transmit various infectious agents and result in significant socioeconomic consequences. Currently, the primary focus of tick control efforts is identifying potential targets for immune intervention. In a previous study, we identified a highly conserved protein abundant in tick haemolymph extracellular vesicles (EVs) known as translationally controlled tumour protein (TCTP).

The target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase serves as a central regulator that integrates nutrient and energy signals to orchestrate cellular and organismal physiology in both animals and plants. Despite significant advancements having been made in understanding the molecular and cellular functions of plant TOR kinases, the upstream regulators that modulate TOR activity are not yet fully elucidated. In animals, the translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is recognized as a key player in TOR signaling.
