Product Summary for Mouse CXCL1/KC Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse KC Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse KC in cell culture supernates and mouse serum. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant mouse KC and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This Immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse KC accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse KC showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse KC.

STAT3 regulates chemoattractive CXCL1 expression.(a) ELISA of CXCL1 levels in lung lysates and BAL at 6 and 13 weeks post AdCre. Data were analysed by Student’s t-test and shown as mean±s.d., n≥7 mice per genotype and time point. (b) Representative in situ hybridization with probes specific for murine Cxcl1 (AS) in lung tumours at 13 weeks post AdCre. Sense probes (S) were used as negative control and surfactant protein C (SP-C) as lung epithelial maker. Scale bar, 100 μm. (c) Kaplan–Meier plot showing overall survival of lung adenocarcinoma patient samples harbouring smoking history with high or low IL-8 mRNA expression (expression values of upper quartile, log-rank test) n≥35–104 per group. (d) Human A549 lung cancer cell line (KRASG12S mutated) was stimulated with designated cytokines for indicated time points. IL-8 or CXCL1 expression was analysed via qRT–PCR. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test and shown as mean±s.d. (e) A549 cells transducted with lentiviral vectors expressing nonspecific scrambled small hairpin (sh)RNA or shRNA against STAT3 were stimulated with indicated cytokines for 60 min. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test and shown as mean±s.d. (f) Primary pneumocytes were isolated and infected with AdCre. 120 h post infection cells were stimulated with indicated cytokines for 60 min. Cxcl1 expression was analysed by qRT–PCR. Data are shown as mean±s.e.m. (g) Murine 3T3 fibroblasts and STAT3 overexpressing 3T3 fibroblasts were stimulated as in f. Cxcl1 expression was analysed by qRT–PCR. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test and shown as mean± s.d. Values in d–g are presented as fold change of relative mRNA expression compared with each unstimulated individual cell line. At least two independent experiments with three individual plates per stimulation were performed. For all graphs: *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.

Background: CXCL1/GRO alpha/KC/CINC-1

CXCL1/GRO alpha, also known as KC in mouse and CINC-1 in rat, is a member of the CXC family of chemokines. Human CXCL1/GRO alpha is 107 amino acids (aa) in length with a predicted molecular weight of 11 kDa. The mouse and rat orthologs share 57% and 59% amino acid sequence identity with the human protein, respectively. Genome-wide analysis suggests that the protein encoded by the mouse Cxcl3 gene is homologous to human CXCL1/GRO alpha protein. Human CXCL1/GRO alpha can be cleaved into three isoforms CXCL1/GRO alpha (aa 4-73), CXCL1/GRO alpha (aa 5-73), and CXCL1/GRO alpha (aa 6-73) which show higher activity than the full length protein. CXCL1/GRO alpha is secreted by mast cells and macrophages whereupon it acts as a chemoattractant for neutrophils.
