Mouse WISP1 Protein

Recombinant Mouse WISP1 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus.It contains Thr23-Asn367. The interplay between glioma stem cells (GSCs) and the tumor microenvironment plays crucial roles in promoting malignant growth of glioblastoma (GBM), the most lethal brain tumor. WISP1 is preferentially expressed and secreted by GSCs. Silencing WISP1 markedly disrupts GSC maintenance, reduces tumor-supportive TAMs (M2), and potently inhibits GBM growth. WISP1 signals through Integrin alpha6beta1-Akt to maintain GSCs by an autocrine mechanism and M2 TAMs through a paracrine manner.
