From the We report here a novel cDNA clone with a
predicted protein sequence similar to lysyl oxidase. This full-length
cDNA clone of 3432 base pairs (WS9-14) was isolated from human
fibroblasts on the basis of its overexpression in senescent cells. It
encodes an 87-kDa polypeptide, whose protein is a member of the
scavenger receptor cysteine-rich family, because it contains four
scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domains that are found in several
secreted or cell surface proteins. The WS9-14 protein has a 48%
identity with both lysyl oxidase and lysyl oxidase-like protein at a
region corresponding to exons 2-6, implying the existence of a lysyl oxidase gene family. The pattern of WS9-14 gene expression by fibroblasts parallels pro-collagen I-

1 expression. Its mRNA
level is induced by transforming growth factor
-1 and indomethacin and inhibited by phorbol ester and retinoic acid. WS9-14 is abundantly expressed in all tumor cell lines examined that attach to culture dishes but not in cell lines that grow in suspension and is also up-regulated in senescent fibroblasts. These results suggest that WS9-14 gene encodes an extracellular protein that may be specifically involved in cell adhesion and senescence.
