New plasma membrane biomarkers preferentially expressed in pancreatic beta cells useful in imaging or targeting beta cells

The present invention is directed to the identification of a biomarker specifically located in the plasma membrane of pancreatic beta cells. It was selected by a Systems Biology approach on Massively Parallel Signal Sequencing datasets obtained in human islets and Affymetrix microarray datasets on human islets, purified rat primary beta and non beta cells and insulinoma cells. Based on a set of specific features the biomarker is a unique candidate for imaging and targeting strategies to study the pancreatic beta cell mass in health and disease (T1 D, T2D, pancreatic cancers, obesity, islet transplantation, beta cell regeneration). The five specific features of the selected biomarkers are: 1) Preferentially expressed in pancreatic islets as compared to surrounding tissues; 2) Higher expression in pancreatic beta cells than in pancreatic alpha cells or than in other islet non-beta cells; 3) Expression levels in pancreatic beta cells are higher or comparable to glucokinase which is an enzyme specifically expressed in the pancreatic beta cell; 4) Located in the membrane and as such targetable with antibodies, peptides or small molecules which allows imaging, targeting and immunohistochemistry; and 5) Expression is not induced during the process of inflammation of the beta cell mass and the protein is not enriched in T-cells and dendritic cells or in other cells participating in the inflammation process.

A cDNA molecule that encodes a protein designated Labyrinthin (Lab) is isolated and its nucleotide sequence is determined. The protein, or peptides derived from the protein, are markers useful to define novel classes of cancers. Diagnostic assays for these cancers use antibodies to Lab or nucleotide probes that hybridize with the lab gene or a fragment therefrom. Vaccines useful either to prevent recurrence of cancers in subjects who test positive for Lab (or lab), or to prevent initial occurrence of cancer, use proteins or peptides derived from Lab. Expression of Lab via immunogenic assays is used to monitor effects of cancer treatments. Antisense molecules against lab are used in treatments.

The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering and in particular relates to a recombination method and application of a luciferase reporter gene with a human aquaporin 1 (AQP1) promoter to drug screening. The highly expressed AQP1 plays an important role in the salivary secretion process and is closely related to onset of Sjogren syndromes. In the invention, a 1868bp AQP1 promoter sequence is amplified from a personal genome by utilizing the gene engineering technology and is cloned onto a PGL2-luc vector to construct an AQP1 promoter-Luc expression vector. AQP1 expression is controlled by a promoter region. Constructing a salivary gland cell model with the AQP1 promoter is a key step for screening the traditional Chinese medicine ingredients which can treat the Sjogren syndromes. The drug screening cell model proves that ginseng and American ginseng ingredients at certain concentrations can promote transcription of the AQP1 promoter and the higher the concentrations are, the stronger the activity is, and can guide the drugs to be clinically applied to treat the Sjogren syndromes.
