Detection of Mouse Lipocalin-2/NGAL by Immunoprecipitation Epitope mapping of LCN2 mAb. (A) ELISA quantification of relative binding of LCN2 mAb to 56 peptides covering the mouse LCN2 protein (n = 3); (B) The combined sequences of peptides 22–24 are shown in red at amino acids 64–84 of the mouse LCN2 protein. The N-terminal signal peptide that was cleaved prior to the secretion of the protein is underlined and not included in the epitope mapping. Cys-78 and Cys-177 forming an intramolecular disulfide bond (blue); (C) Alignment of the LCN2 mAb epitope sequences from mouse, rat, and human LCN2 homologs. Conserved amino acids are underlined. Amino acids interacting with siderophore are highlighted in pink. Conserved cysteines are highlighted in blue; (D) The crystal structure of human LCN2 protein containing a siderophore (black) and an iron (orange). The epitope of LCN2 mAb, highlighted in red, is located in the beta 3 and beta 4 strands. The side chains of amino acids bound with siderophore are colored in pink. An intramolecular disulfide bond formed between Cys-78 in the epitope and Cys-177 near the C-terminal (blue); (E) Representative Western blot showing that increased concentrations of epitope peptides from mouse (YNVTSILVRDQDQGCRYWIRT) and human (YNVTSVLFRKKKCDYWIRT) tissue reduced the level of immunoprecipitated mouse (mLCN2) or human LCN2 protein (hLCN2).

Background: Lipocalin-2/NGAL
Mouse Lipocalin-2 was cloned from mouse kidney cells (1). Its very high level of expression at the post-stratum uterus gave it the name uterocalin (2). Lipocalin-2 has been implicated in a variety of processes including cell differentiation, tumorigenesis, and apoptosis (3‑5). Studies indicate that Lipocalin-2 binds a bacterial catecholate siderophore that is bound to a ferric ion, such as enterobactin, with a subnanomolar dissociation constant (KD = 0.41 nM) (6). The bound ferric enterobactin complex breaks down slowly in a month into dihydroxybenzoyl serine and dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA). It also binds to a ferric DHBA complex with much less KD values (7.9 nM) (6). Secretion of Lipocalin-2 in immune cells increases in response to stimulation of Toll-like receptor as an acute phase response to infection. As a result, it acts as a potent bacteriostatic reagent by sequestering iron (7). Moreover, Lipocalin-2 can alter the invasive and metastatic behavior of Ras-transformed breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by reversing the epithelial to mesenchymal transition inducing activity of Ras, through restoration of E-cadherin expression, via effects on the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway (8).
