Background
Ephrin-A1, also known as B61 and LERK-1, is a member of the Ephrin-A family of GPI-anchored ligands that bind and induce the tyrosine autophosphorylation of Eph receptors. Ephrin-A ligands are structurally related to the extracellular domains of the transmembrane Ephrin-B ligands. Eph-Ephrin interactions are widely involved in the regulation of cell migration, tissue morphogenesis, and cancer progression (1, 2). Mouse Ephrin-A1 is synthesized with an 17 amino acid (aa) signal peptide, a 165 aa mature chain, and a 23 aa C‑terminal propeptide which is removed prior to GPI linkage of Ephrin-A1 to the membrane (3, 4). It can also be released as a soluble molecule (3, 5, 6). The mature 21 ‑ 25 kDa mouse Ephrin-A1 shares 85% and 94% aa sequence identity with human and rat Ephrin-A1, respectively. Ephrin-A1 is widely expressed on endothelial and epithelial cells, particularly in the lung, intestine, liver, and skin (4, 8). It is expressed on resting CD4+ T cells but is down‑regulated following activation (7, 8). Ligation of Ephrin-A1 on CD4+ T cells inhibits cell proliferation and activation, although soluble Ephrin-A1 can promote T cell chemotaxis (7, 8). In cancer, Ephrin‑A1 is expressed by tumor cells as well as on the tumor-associated vasculature (5, 6, 9). It inhibits tumor cell proliferation and migration but also supports tumor growth by promoting angiogenesis (10 - 12). Soluble Ephrin-A1 additionally promotes neuronal survival and neurite extension (13).
