STEAP3

Part Description

STEAP3 is a metallic reductase enzyme that is also known as TSAP6, which is involved in promoting apoptosis and exosome biogenesis and can reduce iron and copper. It has the ability to convert iron from an insoluble ferric to a soluble ferrous form.

Usage

This part is implemented in our system to improve the efficacy of our therapeutic agent by increasing the default level of exosome synthesis within our engineered MSC. The only mechanism discovered is that TSAP6 modulates its downstream transferrin receptor genes, which is a pathway related to exosomal secretion. However, its specific mechanism for promoting exosome secretion is still unknown as shown in figure 1.

Literature Characterization

The study created a reporter construct by joining the C-terminus of CD63, one of the most used exosome markers, to nanoluc (nluc), a tiny and potent bioluminescence reporter10. After progressive centrifugation to eliminate masking signals12, luminescence in the cell-culture supernatant was measured. This reporter gene was co-transfected with plasmids expressing potential candidates for exosome production augmentation.

The study found STEAP3 syndecan-4 (SDC4), and (NadB) as potential synthetic exosome production boosters. Combined expression of these genes significantly increased exosome production, and a tricistronic plasmid vector ( known as exosome production booster), which guarantees that transfected cells receive all boosted genes at a fixed ratio ,produced a 15-fold to 40-fold increase (depending on cell conditions) in the luminescence signal in the supernatant.
