Detection of Human and Rat Arginase 1/ARG1 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human and Rat Arginase 1/ARG1 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human liver tissue and rat liver tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Arginase 1/ARG1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5868) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Arginase 1/ARG1 at approximately 41 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.
Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat Arginase 1/ARG1 antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat Arginase 1/ARG1 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of human liver tissue, mouse liver tissue, and rat liver tissue, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Arginase 1/ARG1 at approximately 41 kDa (as indicated) using 2.5 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Arginase 1/ARG1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5868) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Detection of Mouse Arginase 1/ARG1/liver Arginase by Western Blot

Sepsis induces polarization of M2-like macrophages.(a–e) Lung tissue and peritoneal cells from C57BL/6 J (a,c,d) and BALB/c (b,e) mice undergoing CLP and antibiotic treatment were harvested at the indicated time points. (a) mRNA expression of Cebpb (C/EBP beta), Arg1 (arginase-1), Mrc1 (MR) and Igf1 in the total lungs were determined by RT-qPCR at indicated times after CLP (n≥4 mice per group). (b) Lungs obtained from six mice, either naive or CLP (day 10 after CLP), were pooled from two independent samples and CD11b+ cells were isolated. mRNA expression of Arg1 (arginase-1), Mrc1 (MR), Rentla (encoding Fizz1) in isolated CD11b+ cells were determined by RT-qPCR. (c) IGF-1, CCL17 and CCL22 concentrations in the lungs were determined by ELISA at indicated times after CLP (n≥3 mice per group). (d) Representative FACS plots and frequency of peritoneal CD206+F4/80+ macrophages at indicated times after CLP (n≥3 mice per group). (e) Representative western blot of Arg1 (Arginase-1) expression in the peritoneal cells at day 10 after CLP (n=9 for naive group and n=5 for CLP group). ND, not detected. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 (one-way ANOVA result with Dunnett posthoc tests in a,c, two-tailed unpaired Student's t-test in b,d). Data are from one (b) and representative of two (a,c–e) independent experiments (mean±s.e.m. in a–d).

Background: Arginase 1/ARG1

Arginase 1 (ARG1) is a 35‑40 kDa member of the arginase family of enzymes. It is expressed in multiple cell types, including erythrocytes, hepatocytes, neutrophils, smooth muscle and macrophages. ARG1 demonstrates two distinct functions: in the hepatocyte cytoplasm, it catalyzes the conversion of arginine to ornithine and urea, while in multiple cells, it degrades arginine, thus indirectly downregulating NO synthase (NOS) activity by depriving this enzyme of its substrate. Human AGR1 is 322 amino acids (aa) in length. Its enzyme region comprises aa 9‑309 and contains two Mn atoms. ARG1 is modestly active as a monomer, but highly active as a 105 kDa homotrimer. Trimerization is promoted by nitrosylation of Cys303, creating a regulatory feedback loop with NOS. There are two isoform variants, one that shows an eight aa insertion after Gln43, and another that shows a deletion of aa 204‑289. Full-length human ARG1 shares 87% aa identity with mouse and rat ARG1.
