title: Expression, tissue distribution, and cellular localization of the antiapoptotic TIP-B1 protein.
abstract: TIP-B1 is a novel 27-kDa protein isolated from the cytosol of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-stimulated cells. Cells preincubated with TIP-B1 are protected from TNF-induced apoptosis. This study showed that, as with normal fibroblasts and U937 histiocytic lymphoma, human MCF7 mammary adenocarcinoma cells were protected from TNF in a concentration-dependent manner by pretreatment with either TNF or purified TIP-B1. Immunoblot and immunohistochemical analyses indicated expression of both TIP-B1 mRNA and protein in MCF7 cells and heart, kidney, brain, liver, ovary, uterus, thymus, spleen, lymph node, and mammary gland cells throughout their development. Expression of TIP-B1 was heterogeneous, with staining of specific cell types within tissues. Based on the ability of TIP-B1 to protect both normal and tumor cells from TNF-induced apoptosis and its broad tissue distribution, with expression only in select cells within those tissues, a role for TIP-B1 in the regulation of TNF-induced effects is strongly indicated.
