MANF (Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor) is a prosurvival protein that protects the cells when applied intracellularly in vitro or extracellularly in vivo. Recently, MANF has also been proven to inhibit cell proliferation and ER stress-induced cell death and also affects cell size and morphology under certain conditions. Thus the bioactivity of human recombinant MANF were detected using U87-MG. Briefly, U87-MG cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 2000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with serum-free standard DMEM prior to the addition of various concentrations of MANF. After incubated for 48h, cells were observed by inverted microscope that MANF inhibited cell proliferation of U87-MG and affected cell size and morphology.

Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor

The protein encoded by this gene is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and golgi, and is also secreted. Reducing expression of this gene increases susceptibility to ER stress-induced death and results in cell proliferation. Activity of this protein is important in promoting the survival of dopaminergic neurons. The presence of polymorphisms in the N-terminal arginine-rich region, including a specific mutation that changes an ATG start codon to AGG, have been reported in a variety of solid tumors; however, these polymorphisms were later shown to exist in normal tissues and are thus no longer thought to be tumor-related.
