Background: Serpin B5/Maspin

MASPIN (mammary serine protease inhibitor; SERPINB5 or PI5), is a member of SERPIN superfamily (serine protease inhibitor/non-inhibitor) which also includes certain other proteins such as plasminogen activator inhibitors 1/2 and alpha1-antitrypsin. MASPIN is an extracellular matrix tumor supressor which blocks the proliferative, invasive, and metastatic properties of breast as well as prostate cancers. Because it does not undergo S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active SERPINS, MASPIN does not exhibit serine protease inhibitory activity. MASPIN expression is down-regulated in breast, prostate, gastric and melanoma cancers, however, this protein is overexpressed in certain other malignancies such as pancreatic, gallbladder, colorectal, and thyroid cancers which reflects that MASPIN may play different activities in different cell types. These observations may be explained by MASPIN's distinct subcellular localization - cytoplasmic, nuclear or both cytoplasmic-nuclear expression; by interactions with extracellular matrix; its structure and epigenetic modifications. MASPIN is also expressed in corneal epithelial tissue, wherein it controls the migration/adhesion of corneal stromal fibroblasts and myofibroblasts during corneal wound healing.
