S-100 proteins are small dimeric members of the EF-Hand superfamily that participate in moderating intracellular calcium signals by binding to and regulating specific proteins in a calcium-dependent manner. S-100P is a survival factor that is associated with different types of tumors and can bind and regulate effector proteins. R1881, a synthetic androgen, regulates S-100P expression. S-100P interacts with a receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and activates it, thereby increasing the rates of cell growth, division, migration and invasion. This suggests that S-100P acts in an auto-crine manner through RAGE to trigger cell proliferation and survival. S-100P may also positively affect anchorage-independent growth to improve tumor formation. S-100P monomers strongly interact with one another, but not with other S-100 polypeptides, suggesting that homodimer formation is necessary for S-100P to function. The S-100P dimers are then stabilized by hydrophobic contacts.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human spleen tissue using anti-S100P antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 8.0-8.4) for 20 minutes.The tissues were blocked in 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (ET1702-82, 1/200) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
