Detection of Human Lysyl Oxidase Homolog 2/LOXL2 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Lysyl Oxidase Homolog 2/LOXL2 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of HEC-1-B human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line and U-87 MG human glioblastoma/astrocytoma cell line. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Lysyl Oxidase Homolog 2/LOXL2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2639) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for Lysyl Oxidase Homolog 2/LOXL2 at approximately 105 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.

LOXL2 is responsible for increased collagen crosslinking activity in hypoxic EC‐derived exosomes. (A) LOXL2 mRNA expression is decreased in shLOXL2‐transfected EC (shLOXL2) compared to control‐infected EC (shCtrl) (n = 7 ± SD, Student's t‐test). (B) LOXL2 protein expression is decreased in shLOXL2‐transfected EC‐derived exosomes. (C) Analysis of lysyl oxidase activity in exosomes from control (shCtrl) and LOXL2 knock‐down (shLOXL2) (n = 3 ± SD, Student's t‐test). (D) Collagen gels comparing control buffer (Vehicle), and exosomes from control (Exosomes shCtrl) and LOXL2 knock‐down (Exosomes shLOXL2) EC, and (E) quantification of gel contraction after 36 hrs for these conditions (n = 3 ± SD, anova). Collagen crosslinking activity of exosomes from control and LOXL2 knock‐down EC at 20% (Exosomes Control and shLOXL2 Control) and 2% O2 (shLOXL2 Hypoxia) was assessed using (F) the in vitro lysyl oxidase assay and (G and H) the collagen gel contraction assay (n = 3 ± SD, anova). *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001.

Background: Lysyl Oxidase Homolog 2/LOXL2

Lysyl Oxidase Homolog 2 (lysyl oxidase-like protein 2, LOXL2) is a member of lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) gene family which includes LOXL1 through LOXL4. These enzymes are secreted copper-binding amine oxidases that oxidize primary amine substrates to aldehydes (1). The N-terminal region of LOXL2 contains four scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domains, and the C-terminal region is a catalytic domain similar to other lysyl oxidases (1). The catalytic domain contains conserved residues required for copper binding and formation of a lysyl tyrosylquinone co-factor (2). Although some of the LOXL enzymes are known to cross-link collagen and elastin substrates, such a function has yet to be characterized for LOXL2. It has been shown that LOXL2 promotes cell migration and tumor cell invasiveness (3, 4). Elevated expression of LOXL2 is also associated with cancer progression in various tumors and carcinoma cell lines, which makes it a potential marker for prognosis of cancer (5). LOXL2 is expressed in many tissues, with elevated levels in reproductive tissues such as placenta, uterus, and prostate (6).
