| Background | PTGDR2 is a human protein encoded by the PTGDR2 gene. It has also been designated as CD294 (cluster of differentiation 294). It is a member of the class of prostaglandin receptors which bind with and respond to various prostaglandins. PTGDR2 along with Prostaglandin DP1 receptor are receptors for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). Activation of PTGDR2 by PGD2 or other cognate receptor ligands has been associated with certain physiological and pathological responses, particularly those associated with allergy and inflammation, in animal models and certain human diseases. |

Creative Biolabs offers targeting the PGD2/PTGDR2 signaling pathway research services. The PGD2/PTGDR2 signaling cascade has been demonstrated to impact the self-renewal ability of cancer stem cells (CSCs) through the regulation of autophagy. PGD2 stimulates the expression of PTGDR2, which competes with ATG4B for binding to the E3 ligase RNF5. As a result, the degradation of ATG4B is diminished, and autophagy is triggered. This pathway can serve as a target for cancer treatment. By adjusting PGD2 concentrations or directly aiming at PTGDR2, autophagy can be enhanced, and the stem-like properties of CSCs can be suppressed.
Creative Biolabs offers gene knockdown and overexpression services. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is applicable for reducing PTGDR2 expression within cancer cells. This method has been shown to impede the autophagy activation induced by PGD2 and decrease the self-renewal potential of gastric cancer stem cells. In contrast, employing viral vectors or plasmids to overexpress PTGDR2 can be utilized to augment the autophagy mechanism and possibly suppress tumor development.
Creative Biolabs offers biomarker identification services. PTGDR2 expression levels in peripheral blood have been identified as a potential biomarker for asthma and other inflammatory conditions. This suggests that similar approaches could be used to identify patients who may benefit from PTGDR2-targeted therapies. Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing and qPCR validation studies can be used to identify and validate PTGDR2 expression levels in various diseases, providing a basis for personalized medicine.
Creative Biolabs offers comprehensive and innovative services to drive the development of PTGDR2 cell therapy. Please for more services.
Creative Biolabs offers cell isolation and expansion services. Use magnetic bead-based cell separation techniques to isolate PTGDR2-positive cells from peripheral blood or other sources. This method is efficient and allows for the enrichment of specific cell populations. Once isolated, expand PTGDR2-positive cells ex vivo using optimized culture conditions. This step is crucial for obtaining sufficient numbers of cells for therapeutic applications.
Creative Biolabs offers functional assay services to assess PTGDR2-modified cells. Since PTGDR2 is involved in autophagy regulation, assess the autophagic activity of modified cells using assays such as LC3-II conversion, p62 degradation, and transmission electron microscopy.
