- TGF- is produced as an inactive latent form with a molecular weight of about 300 kD that cannot bind to the receptor, and is activated on or around the target cell surface to become an active form that can bind to the receptor, and can exert its action for the first time. ( Figure 1).
- Active TGF- / 31 with a molecular weight of 25 kD is a precursor protein consisting of 39 1 amino acids (the amino acid sequence is described in SEQ ID NO: 1 in the sequence listing, and the base sequence is described in SEQ ID NO: 2)
- a fragment between the 279Arg and 280Ala is cleaved by the action of a furin-like protease, and the carboxyl-terminal 112 amino acid portion is dimerized by a disulfide bond.
- TGF-] 32 and-/ 33 have the same structure, and the Arg-Ala sequence is common.
- the remaining portion of the cleaved amino terminal is called LAP (latency associated peptide), which is also dimerized (molecular weight 75 kD) and remains undigested from active TGF-] 3.
- LAP latency associated peptide
- TGF-J3 Covalently traps TGF-J3 to form a latent TGF- ⁇ complex (SLC) and forms a structure that cannot bind active TGF-] 3 to the receptor, ie, a latent form Fastening.
- the end of the LAP dimer is bound to a latent TGF-j3 large complex (Large latent TGF-j3) by binding to a protein with a molecular weight of about 200 kD produced from another gene called LTBP (latent TGF- ⁇ binding protein). - ⁇ complex; LLC).
- TGF-J32 and-] 33 have a similar structure (Fig. 2).
- LTBP is similar in structure to fibrillin, a type of extracellular matrix protein, and LLC is pooled into extracellular matrix through this part ( Figures 1 and 2).
- TGF- ⁇ Activation of TGF- ⁇ is a reaction that dissociates and releases active TGF- ⁇ trapped by LLC by preventing the association between LAP and active TGF- ⁇ in some way. Occurs at and near the surface of the target cell after the release of it ( Figure 1).
- the LAP structure changes by binding to topombospondinintegrin and the adhesive activation reaction releases active TGF-, and LAP is limitedly degraded by proteases. It is known that the cleavage activation reaction releases the retained active TGF-J3 (FIG. 2).
- the present inventors have found that inhibition of serine proteases such as plasmin ⁇ plasma recruitin using a synthetic low-molecular-weight protease inhibitor or a specific antibody inhibits the TGF-activation reaction and suppresses the formation of pathological conditions, resulting in hepatic fibrosis.

- the present inventors determined the activation site for cleavage by plasmin and plasma kallikrein, and found that plasmin specifically cleaved between 56Lys-57Leu of latent TGF- ⁇ , and that plasma-potential recline cleaved specifically between 58Arg-59Leu. It has been found that TGF-] 3 is activated by causing a similar structural change.
- TGF-] 3 is activated by causing a similar structural change.
- the antibody that recognizes the 59Leu cleavage surface did not undergo the activation reaction (not cleaved), but did not recognize intact LAP, but specifically recognized LAP cleaved by plasma kallikrein. Furthermore, this antibody stains liver tissue sections from animal models of hepatic regeneration insufficiency and patients who have died of fulminant hepatitis, indicating that TGF-i3 activation by the protease is occurring during the pathogenesis of humans. This was the first successful indication, strongly suggesting that a specific inhibitor ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ antibody against plasma recruitin could work effectively in liver regeneration failure during fulminant hepatitis (Fig. 4). Next, when the cleavage site by MMP3 was determined, it was found that MMP3 specifically cleaves between 79Ala-80Leu of latent TGF- ⁇ and activates TGF- / 3.
- the region that is cleaved by various proteases and causes activation is defined as a TGF-activation control region.
- a TGF-activation control region By producing a specific antibody that recognizes the oral protease cleavage site, it is difficult for conventional techniques using antibodies against active TGF-J3 or intact LAP to differ depending on the disease state, tissue, and isoform.

That is, a commercially available anti-human LAP monoclonal antibody (manufactured by R & D) was added at 1 jug (50 il of 20 ⁇ g / ml of PBS) per 1 ml of Imnoplate (manufactured by Nunc), and incubated at 4 ° C. Coated by doing. After washing twice with PBS, blocking was performed by further incubation with 200 ⁇ l of a blocking solution (3% serum albumin-0.02% sodium azide-containing PBS) at 4 ° C.
- a blocking solution 3% serum albumin-0.02% sodium azide-containing PBS
- the present invention by producing a specific antibody that recognizes each protease cleavage site present in the TGF-activation control region, pathogenesis, tissue, and isoform-specific TGF- It has become possible to detect reactions (activation reactions). In addition, it is expected to be useful for the diagnosis of new treatments that suppress only abnormal TGF-forming reactions using synthetic low-molecular-weight inhibitors and antibodies that specifically inhibit the detected activation reactions, as well as for prognostic diagnosis it can.
