Scientific Data Images for Mouse Gas6 Antibody
Gas6 in Mouse Intestine.
Gas6 was detected in perfusion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of mouse intestine using Goat Anti-Mouse Gas6 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF986) at 1 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to apical plasma membrane.

Gas6 & Axl expression in the cecal mucosa during K. pneumoniae infection decreases with aging.(A & B) Sections of cecal mucosa (A) or liver (B) were from mice aged 15 or 57 weeks at 2 days after infection with K. pneumoniae ATCC43816 pmCherry & immunostained with an anti-Gas6 antibody & an anti-Axl antibody. Each image has six independent replicates. Scale bar = 50 μm. (C) Detection of Axl, Gas6, ZO-1, & occludin by WBting. Cecum & liver tissues were collected, homogenized, & analyzed using an anti-Axl antibody, an anti-Gas6 antibody, an anti-ZO-1 antibody, or an anti-occludin antibody. Each lane of WBting images represents the protein from an individual mouse (mouse number = 5 (cecum) or 4 (liver) per group). Western blotting analysis represents three independent replicates. (D) Western blotting signal intensities were analyzed by ImageJ software. Each dot represents the value collected from an individual mouse (mouse number = 5 (cecum) or 4 (liver) per group). Data are presented as the mean ± SD. NS: not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. p values were calculated by the Student’s t test. (E) Linear correlation between Gas6 expression & Axl expression in the cecum or liver of mice aged 15 (red circles) or 57 (blue circles) weeks infected with K. pneumoniae ATCC43816 pmCherry. Each dot represents an ELISA measured value of each protein sample collected from an individual mouse (mouse number = 5 per group). r > 0.70 & p < 0.05. (F) The population of CD11b+F4/80+ macrophages in the intestinal mucosa of young (14-week-old) & old (56-week-old) mice was examined by staining with anti-F4/80 & anti-CD11b antibodies. The percentage of F4/80-positive/CX3CR1-negative cells in 14-week-old & 56-week-old mice was 29.5% & 8.87%, respectively. Data are representative of four mice per group.

Background: Gas6
Growth arrest-specific gene 6 (Gas6) was initially characterized as a gene whose expression was up-regulated in serum starved NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and whose expression is down-regulated during growth induction. Mouse Gas6 is a 673 amino acid protein that shares 81% identity to its human homolog. Gas6 is a member of the vitamin K-dependent family of proteins that includes human protein S, a negative coregulator in the blood coagulation pathway. Gas6 and protein S share structural motifs that characterize this family: an extensively gamma-carboxylated amino terminus (Gla domain), four EGF-like repeats, and a carboxy terminus containing globular (G) domains with homology to steroid hormone-binding globulin. It is a ligand for the Axl (Ufo/Ark), Sky (Dtk/Tyro3/Rse/Brt/Tif), and Mer (Eyk) families of tyrosine kinase receptors. Gas6 binds to these receptors via tandem G domains at its C-terminus. Gas6 is ubiquitously expressed, but most abundantly in lung, intestine, bone marrow and endothelium.
Gas6 has been implicated in a variety of biological processes. It serves as a mitogen for fibroblasts, endothelial cells, neural cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and several tumor-derived cell lines. In addition, Gas6 prevents apoptosis, independent of its mitogenic activity. Gas6 is capable of inducing cell adhesion and chemotaxis in specific cell types. It also supports vitamin K-independent hematopoiesis when expressed by stromal cells. Gas6 signal transduction following Axl/Sky/Mer receptor activation has been reported to occur through such diverse signaling pathways as PI3K, MAP kinase, Src, Ras and beta-catenin.
