Background: TFF3

Trefoil Factor 3 (TFF3), also known as Intestinal Trefoil Factor (ITF) and P1.B, is one of three structurally related secreted proteins that contain trefoil domains. These domains adopt a three-leaved conformation held together by conserved intrachain disulfide bonds. TFF3 is an approximately 7 kDa peptide that plays an important role in epithelial regeneration and wound healing (1). It can form disulfide-linked dimers or associate into disulfide-linked complexes with the intestinal mucous proteins FCGBP and MUC-2 (2, 3). TFF3 is expressed by epithelial goblet cells in the respiratory tract, biliary and breast ducts, small and large intestine, and cardia of the stomach (4-8). Following secretion, TFF3 can be retained in the overlying mucous layer (7). TFF3 is also expressed by chondrocytes during bone development (9). Mature human TFF3 shares 76% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat TFF3. TFF3 is up-regulated in response to a range of gastrointestinal epithelial disruptions (8, 10). It promotes epithelial wound healing by inducing the migration of biliary, bronchial, and intestinal epithelial cells (5, 10-12). TFF3 up-regulation is associated with and enhances tumor cell invasion and metastasis (6, 13). It supports hypoxia-induced VEGF up-regulation in tumor cells and also promotes angiogenesis in non-tumor environments (14, 15). Over-expression of TFF3 in type 2 diabetic mouse liver has been shown to improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity (16).
