title: Identification and partial purification of a novel tumor-derived protein that induces tissue factor on cultured human endothelial cells.
abstract: Conditioned medium of a human bladder carcinoma cell line (J82) was found to induce tissue factor synthesis in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). A protein present in the J82 conditioned medium was partially purified by FPLC using a combination of MONO Q and Superose 6 columns. The bladder carcinoma-derived cytokine (BCDC) exhibited a Mr of 22 kDa by gel permeation HPLC. Polyclonal antibody against either interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor, or transforming growth factor-beta failed to inhibit the ability of the conditioned medium to induce HUVEC tissue factor activity, suggesting that this tumor cell line secretes a novel cytokine responsible for HUVEC tissue factor induction.
