The growth factor progranulin (PGRN) has been implicated in embryonic development, tissue repair, tumorigenesis, and inflammation, but its receptors remain unidentified. We report that PGRN bound directly to tumor necrosis (TNFRs) disturbed the TNFα-TNFR interaction. PGRN-deficient mice were susceptible collagen-induced arthritis, administration of reversed inflammatory arthritis. Atsttrin, an engineered protein composed three fragments, exhibited selective TNFR binding. Atsttrin prevented...
