TY - JOUR. T1 - Expression of a folate binding protein in L1210 cells grown in low folate medium. AU - Jansen, G. AU - Kathmann, I. AU - Rademaker, B C. AU - Braakhuis, B J. AU - Westerhof, G R. AU - Rijksen, G. AU - Schornagel, J H. PY - 1989/4/15. Y1 - 1989/4/15. N2 - We have isolated variants of L1210 cells (L1210B) expressing, in addition to the classical high affinity/low capacity system for reduced folate uptake, high levels of a membrane-associated folate binding protein. This folate binding protein was expressed in L1210 cells grown at low physiological folate levels (less than 0.5 nM), but down-regulated after transfer in standard high folate (2 microM) medium. The binding capacity of L1210B cells for [3H]folic acid and [3H]-methotrexate was identical (5-11 pmol/10(6) cells) but affinities were different. The affinities relative to folic acid were 0.5 for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, 0.25 for 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, 0.08 for 10-ethyl-10-deazaaminopterin, and 0.05 for methotrexate, ...

Binding of 3H-folate in Triton X-100 solubilized human prostate homogenate was of a high-affinity type and displayed apparent positive cooperativity typical of specific folate binding. Radioligand dissociation was slow at pH 7.4, but rapid at pH 3.5. Gel chromatography reveled two major folate binding proteins (Mr≈100 and 25kDa), but only one single band (Mr ≈ 65-70 kDa) was detectable on SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with rabbit-anti human milk folate binding protein. Concentration of folate binding protein in prostate homogenate expressed as maximum 3H-folate binding was 1.10 nmol/g protein, and the cross-reactivity with rabbit-anti human milk folate binding protein serum was 15% as determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (median values; n = 6).. ...

Binding of folate (pteroylglutamate) and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the major endogenous form of folate, to folate binding protein purified from cows milk was studied at 7°C to avoid degradation of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Both folates dissociate rapidly from the protein at pH 3.5, but extremely slowly at pH 7.4, most likely due to drastic changes in protein conformation occurring after folate binding. Dissociation of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate showed no increase at 37°C suggesting that protein-bound-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is protected against degradation. Binding displayed two characteristics, positive cooperativity and a binding affinity that increased with decreasing concentrations of the protein. The binding affinity of folate was somewhat greater than that of 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate, in particular at pH 5.0. Ligand-bound protein exhibited concentration-dependent polymerization (8-mers formed at 13 μM) at pH 7.4. At pH 5.0, only folate-bound forms showed noticeable polymerization. The ...

The α human folate receptor (αhFR), or KB cell folate receptor, gene contains two major promoters that produce transcripts, KB1 and KB4, varying only in the length and sequence of their 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs). Using RNase protection assays specific for each isoform, we show that the level of expression of these two transcripts is tissue-specific, indicating that promoter usage is regulated, not constitutive. RNA stabilities and translational efficiencies of the KB1 and KB4 transcripts were compared to determine the functional significance of the different 5′ UTRs. Analyses of RNA turnover in vivo with actinomycin D to block new transcription and in vitro with a cytoplasmic extract indicate no discernible differences in the stabilities of the two transcripts. However, the KB4 transcript is 2-3-fold more efficiently translated in wheat germ extracts in vitro and transfected CHO cells in vivo. Also, high ionic strength, which favours the formation of RNA secondary structure, ...

Previous experiments indicated that secreted (s) and membrane (m) forms of folate binding protein (FBP) are present in the intrauterine environment of the pig. Our previous studies indicated that the two forms were produced sequentially; the secreted form was present in the intrauterine glands until Day 20 of gestation, whereas binding analysis indicated that folate binding increased dramatically in placental membranes until Day 50 of gestation. However, the cell types expressing mFBP have not been investigated. In this experiment, uterine wall sections from Day 20, 35, 50, 70, 90, and 105 of gestation were collected at slaughter and fixed, and subjected to in situ hybridization analysis for mFBP expression. The mFBP mRNAwas expressed by both columnar and cuboidal epithelia of the placental folds and expression appeared to be similar throughout gestation. Therefore, the placenta expressed mFBP from Day 35 of gestation onward, consistent with the concept that sFBP and mFBP occur sequentially during

Folate receptor beta (FR-β) is a member of a family of folate binding receptors that have diverse structural identities but mediate transport of folates into cells. FR-β is a GPI-anchored protein with high affinity for folic acid. It is postulated that this receptor function as folate scavengers whe

Folate-protein conjugates have been shown to bind to and enter HeLa and KB cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis [Leamon and Low (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 88, 5572-5576]. Although these cells contain a membrane folate-binding protein (FBP) involved in the uptake of free folate, no studies have been conducted to evaluate whether the folate-protein conjugates enter cells via the same protein. To address this issue, HeLa cell monolayers were treated with folate-labelled 125I-RNAase under various conditions characteristic of FBP-mediated folate uptake. Folate-labelled 125I-RNAase was found to bind to cells with high affinity (Kd = 24 nM), and like the free vitamin, its binding could be competitively blocked by excess free folate. Furthermore, binding could be reversed by either washing the cells with acid/saline, pH 3.0, or by treating the cells with phosphatidyl-inositol-specific phospholipase C, an enzyme known to release FBP from cell surfaces. Because cells pretreated with anti-FBP ...

Folic acid binding protein was estimated in the serum of 94 control subjects and a normal range was established. Raised levels were found in folate deficiency and chronic myeloid leukaemia. Considerably raised levels were found in untreated acute myeloid leukaemia, most often in cases with a marked monocytic element.. ...

The folate receptor α (FRα)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), IMGN853, shows great antitumor activity against FRα-expressing tumors in vivo, but patient selection and consequently therapy outcome are based on immunohistochemistry. The aim of this study is to develop an antibody-derived immuno-PET imaging agent strategy for targeting FRα in ovarian cancer as a predictor of treatment success. We developed [89Zr]Zr-DFO-M9346A, a humanized antibody-based radiotracer targeting tumor-associated FRα in the preclinical setting. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-M9346As binding ability was tested in an in vitro uptake assay using cell lines with varying FRα expression levels. The diagnostic potential of [89Zr]Zr-M9346A was evaluated in KB and OV90 subcutaneous xenografts. Following intravenous injection of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-M9346A (~90 μCi, 50 μg), PET imaging and biodistribution studies were performed. We determined the blood half-life of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-M9346A and compared it to the therapeutic, radioiodinated ADC [131I]

Vitamin B9 or folic acid, which is found in dark green leafy vegetables, is essential for cells to grow and divide rapidly-as they do in a growing embryo. This is why women are advised to take folic acid supplements before conception and during pregnancy: inadequate folate raises the risk of brain and spinal cord defects.…

FBP peptides are recognized by freshly isolated TAL from ovarian cancer patients, suggesting in vivo expression and sensitization. Because FBP is over-expressed 20-fold in most adenocarcinomas, these peptides may be used in a widely applicable peptide-based vaccine for epithelial tumors.

A blog post discussing preliminary research hinting that for some with schizophrenia, the presence of folate receptor autoantibodies might perturb folate levels and use of folinic acid may positively affect symptoms

Macrophage activation comprises a continuum of functional states critically determined by cytokine microenvironment. Activated macrophages have been functionally grouped according to their response to pro-Th1/proinflammatory stimuli [lipopolysaccharide, IFNγ, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF); M1] or pro-Th2/anti-inflammatory stimuli [interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, M-CSF; M2]. We report that folate receptor β (FRβ), encoded by the FOLR2 gene, is a marker for macrophages generated in the presence of M-CSF (M2), but not GM-CSF (M1), and whose expression correlates with increased folate uptake ability. The acquisition of folate uptake ability by macrophages is promoted by M-CSF, maintained by IL-4, prevented by GM-CSF, and reduced by IFNγ, indicating a link between FRβ expression and M2 polarization. In agreement with in vitro data, FRβ expression is detected in tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), which exhibit an M2-like functional profile and exert potent ...

Y1 - 2002/5/8. N2 - A series of Taxol derivatives tethered at C2′ and C-7 to glutamate and folate have been synthesized for evaluation as prodrugs which release Taxol via hydrolytic lability of their α-alkoxy and α-amino esters. The half-time for hydrolysis of these materials was determined in pH 7 and pH 5 buffer. The in vitro cytotoxicity has been assessed in cell culture against A-549 lung cancer, MCF-7 breast cancer, and HT-29 colon cancer. Selected agents were further screened for folate binding and competitive binding with free folic acid. One agent (54), further evaluated in animal studies was found to increase the lifespan in mice, but was less effective than Taxol itself..

4215 Pemetrexed (PMX, Alimta ®) is a new generation antifolate with activity in a variety of solid tumors. It is an excellent substrate for the reduced folate carrier (RFC) and folate receptor-α (FR-α). The role of FR-α in PMX pharmacological activity is uncertain. While high-level expression may enhance the activity of this agent, it is not clear as to what role constitutive levels of this transporter contribute to PMX activity. In this study, constitutive expression of FR-α was completely abolished by siRNA- induced silencing in HeLa cells and in RFC-null HeLa R5 cells as confirmed by Northern blotting, immuno-histochemistry, and cell surface specific [3H]folic acid binding. PMX growth inhibition over six days was unchanged in HeLa and R5 cells in the absence of FR-α expression. Loss of FR-α expression did not decrease net accumulation of 50 nM [3H]PMX over six days in either wild-type or RFC-null HeLa cells. Likewise, folate pools, measured after seven days growth in 25 nM [3H] ...

The folate receptor (FR) has attracted attention as a target structure because of its frequent expression in cancer cells (FR-α) and activated macrophages (FR-β). The vitamin folic acid has served as a promising targeting ligand allowing selective delivery of attached radionuclides suitable for imaging of the diseased sites and for therapeutic application. A large number of folate radioconjugates with variable chemical structures have been developed over the last 25 years. Accumulation of radioactivity in healthy organs and tissues was always seen in the kidneys due to the expression of the FR in the proximal tubule cells. In some cases unspecific uptake of radiofolates was also seen in the liver and the intestinal tract. To address this situation and improve the target-to-off-target ratios of accumulated radioactivity several strategies were undertaken, including chemical modifications of the folate conjugates, selection of appropriate radionuclides and application of drug combinations. ...

The mouse Anti-FR4 antibody, clone TH6, binds to folate receptor 4 (FR4), a cell surface receptor for folic acid (vitamin B9). FR4 is constitutively expressed at high levels on mouse CD4+CD25+ natural regulatory T (Treg) cells. The high expression of this marker in combination with CD4 and CD25 allows the distinction between Treg cells and other types of T cells. - USA

TapImmune Inc. (OTCQB:TPIV) is pleased to announce that a new grant funded Phase I clinical study on the safety and Immunogenicity of folate receptor alpha peptide vaccine in patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer has started at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. The folate receptor alpha peptides being used in this study are the same ones that are being used in a current Phase I study in breast and ovarian cancer. Folate receptor alpha is over a 100 fold elevated in 90% of ovarian cancer cells and is thus an excellent target for immunotherapy.. In this new trial the folate alpha receptor peptides are loaded on to the patients own dendritic cells. Dendritic cells (DCs) are often called natures adjuvants and thus have become an essential target in efforts to generate therapeutic immunity against cancer. Dendritic cell vaccination aims to induce tumour-specific effector T cells (eg, IL 17 secreting T Cells) that can reduce tumor mass specifically and induce immunological memory to ...

NMI-500 is a folate targeted theranostic containing a taxane therapy designed to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer. Taxane-based chemotherapy is a primary and secondary line of treatment for ovarian cancers, however dose limiting toxicities and multidrug resistance limit their effectiveness.. To improve tumor pharmacodynamics, NMI-500 targets the folate receptor which is expressed on over 80% of ovarian cancers. NMI-500 is also an effective MRI contrast agent; annotated with a gadolinium chelate which allows MRI to be used to identify if NMI-500 is accumulating in tumors. Nemucore has successfully tracked the accumulation of NMI-500 and longitudinally tracked tumor growth using MRI. In preclinical models NMI-500 has shown significant uptake in folate receptor positive tumors with reduced off-target toxicity.. Multidrug resistant cancer cells require folate to grow, targeting the folate receptor to deliver a highly lethal payload gives us a novel way to kill these aggressive tumors. These ...

In this case-control and case-only analysis of epithelial ovarian cancer, multivitamin intake was associated with a lower risk of ovarian cancer regardless of FRα expression level. Among women who developed ovarian cancer, however, multivitamin intake was associated with a 3-fold increased risk of developing a strong-expressing FRα tumor. No significant association was observed with alcohol intake. To our knowledge, this is the first report to examine the association of epidemiologic, and specifically dietary, factors with expression of FRα in ovarian tumors.. FRα expression was reported to be relatively low or absent in normal ovarian epithelial cells compared with malignant ovarian tumors in earlier studies (8, 11, 23). However, a recent examination of normal and malignant ovarian cells using in situ hybridization reported mRNA ratios of FRα to β-actin (an internal standard) that were high in malignant serous tumor subtypes, moderately high in normal surface epithelium and malignant ...

Extracellular vesicles (EV) for the therapeutic application are of growing scientific interest. But even though the number of clinical trials on EVs almost doubled from 29 to 52 within 2017, the number of trials with therapeutically applied EVs was only two. In this project, the performance of folate receptor alpha (FRα) presenting EVs as drug vehicles in neuropediatric disorders was investigated. FRα was proven to be the key player for the transport of folates to the brain. On that account, FRα-presenting EVs are predestined to be used as vehicles for therapeutics which are naturally not processed across the blood-cerebrospinal fluid-barrier. The application of EVs as carriers is hampered by the complex nature of this biological material and a still strongly evolving field of methodology. In this project, central questions of the production of EV therapeutics were addressed: preparation, cargo loading and biological screening. For a reliable purification of large amounts of highly pure EVs, ...

In a phase 2 study of single-agent EC145 in heavily pretreated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (median of 3 prior chemotherapy regimens), the subgroup with all target lesions expressing the folate receptor [FR(++)] had a promising prolonged progression free survival of 7.1 months and overall survival of 10.9 months. Furthermore, in-vitro and in-vivo studies in KB models showed good synergism between EC145 and docetaxel.. This study will clinically assess for the first time the combination of EC145+docetaxel (Arm B) in participants with NSCLC (Stage IIIB or IV). This is an international, multicenter, centrally randomized, open-label, phase 2 study comparing single-agent EC145, EC145+docetaxel combination therapy, and single-agent docetaxel in participants with NSCLC who have failed one prior chemotherapy and who have all target lesions expressing the folate receptor [FR(++)]. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into either Arm A (single-agent EC145), Arm B ...

Diverse glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins enter mammalian cells via the clathrin- and dynamin-independent, Arf1-regulated GPI-enriched early endosomal compartment/clathrin-independent carrier endocytic pathway. To characterize the determinants of GPI protein targeting to this pathway, we have used fluorescence microscopic analyses to compare the internalization of artificial lipid-anchored proteins, endogenous membrane proteins, and membrane lipid markers in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Soluble proteins, anchored to cell-inserted saturated or unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-polyethyleneglycols (PEGs), closely resemble the GPI-anchored folate receptor but differ markedly from the transferrin receptor, membrane lipid markers, and even protein-free PE-PEGs, both in their distribution in peripheral endocytic vesicles and in the manner in which their endocytic uptake responds to manipulations of cellular Arf1 or dynamin activity. These findings suggest that the ...

The crystal structure of DMGO (dimethylglycine oxidase) from Arthrobacter globiformis in complex with folate compounds has revealed a novel THF (tetrahydrofolate)-binding fold [Leys, Basran and Scrutton (2003) EMBO J. 22, 4038-4048]. This fold is widespread among folate-binding proteins. The crystal structures of aminomethyltransferase (T-protein), YgfZ and TrmE all reveal similar THF-binding folds despite little similarity in sequence or function. The THF-binding site is highly specific for reduced folate compounds and most members of this fold family enhance the nucleophilic character of the THF N10 position.. ...

The measurement of folate in red blood cells (RBCs) is preferred since it reflects long-term folate status in the body compared to plasma/serum folate which may be influenced by recent dietary intake.
