Scientific Data
Detection of Rat UNC5H2 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of rat spinal cord tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Rat UNC5H2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1006) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF019). A specific band was detected for UNC5H2 at approximately 110 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Mouse UNC5H2/UNC5B by Western Blot Expression of UNC5B-D, DCC, neogenin, and A2b in retinas of normal and OIR mice on P12, P17, and P21. (a) Expression of UNC5B-D, DCC, neogenin, and A2b in normal and OIR mice. (b) Relative grayscale of UNC5B-D, DCC, neogenin, A2b, and GAPDH in normal and OIR groups. The UNC5B level of the OIR group is increased significantly compared with the normal group on P17 and P21 (p < 0.05), while the expressions of UNC5C, UNC5D, neogenin, A2b, and DCC show no significant differences between the normal and OIR mice (p > 0.05). In normal mice, DCC expression is greater on P12 than P17 and P21 (p < 0.05), and neogenin expression increases (p < 0.05) from P12 to P21.

UNC5H2/UNC5B in Rat Brain. UNC5H2/UNC5B was detected in perfusion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of rat brain using Goat Anti-Rat UNC5H2/UNC5B Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1006) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to neuronal cell bodies.
Detection of Mouse UNC5H2/UNC5B by Western Blot RT-PCR analysis of netrin-1 receptor mRNA in retinas of OIR mice. The expressions of UNC5B, UNC5C, UNC5D, neogenin, A2b, and DCC are all detected in retinas of OIR mice, while UNC5A is not detected.

Representative western blot (a) and relative expression of UNC5B in murine retinas (b). UNC5B expression is significantly decreased in the retinas of OIR mice transfected with UNC5B shRNA, compared with scrambled shRNA on P17 (p < 0.01).

Detection of Mouse UNC5H2/UNC5B by Functional UNC5B expression outside the CNS.A) Relative UNC5B mRNA expression in brain, heart, intestine, blood, lung, kidney, liver and spleen in C57Bl/6 mice. B)–E) Flowcytometry of murine leukocytes gated and stained for the leukocyte marker CD45 (PerCP labeled), the macrophage marker F4/80 (APC labeled) and UNC5B (PE labeled). F) Immune fluorescence staining of human PMN was performed using anti-UNC5B and CD45 antibodies as primary and Alexa488-conjugated and CruzFluor™ 594-conjugated as secondary antibodies were used as well as isotype matched control antibodies.

Background: UNC5H2/UNC5B
Caenorhabditis elegans UNC5 (UNC = behaviorally uncoordinated) and its mammalian homologues (including rat UNC5H1 and H2, mouse UNC5H2 and H3 (also known as rostral cerebellar malformation, RCM), and human UNC5H3 and H4) are transmembrane proteins belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. All UNC5 family members have two Ig and two thrombospondin type 1 domains in their extracellular regions, as well as a conserved ZU-5 domain, a DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Cancer)-binding domain (DB) and a C-terminal death domain (DD) in their cytoplasmic regions (1, 2).
UNC5 family proteins are receptors for the netrin/UNC6 (netr: Sanskrit for “one who guides”) family of secreted axon guidance cues that are laminin-related proteins. Netrin family proteins can act as a chemoattractant for some axons and as a chemorepellent for others. Besides UNC5, netrin family proteins also bind to the DCC family of type I transmembrane receptors that share sequence similarity with proteins of the NCAM family, and adenosine A2b receptor, a G protein-coupled seven‑transmembrane receptor belonging to the adenosine receptor family (3, 4). In vitro, netrin binding to DCC family receptors in the absence of UNC5 is associated with axon attraction. However, the DCC-mediated attraction to netrin is converted to repulsion by binding of UNC5 to the DCC-netrin complex. In vivo, the mechanisms of netrin-dependent axon attraction and repulsion are more complex and may include UNC5-mediated repulsion that is independent of DCC (1, 5). Besides their roles in axon guidance and neuronal migration, the UNC5 and DCC families also act as dependence receptors and exert pro-apoptotic effects in the absence of netrin (6).
Rat UNC5H2 cDNA encodes a 945 amino acid residues (aa) type I membrane protein with a putative 26 aa signal peptide and 347 aa extracellular domain. The extracellular domain of rat UNC5H2 shares approximately 65%, 73% and 73% aa sequence similarity with that of rat UNC5H1, human UNC5H3 and mouse UNC5H3, respectively.
