Optimized DNA sequence encoding Rat Interleukin-1 beta mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
Molecular weight
Mature Rat IL-1 beta, is generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propeptide.The molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately17 kDa. Recombinant rat IL-1 beta is a monomer protein consisting of 153 amino acid residue subunits. Recombinant rat IL-1 beta migrates as an approximately 17 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg).
Presentation
Rat IL-1 beta was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH.
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at2° -8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage
This cytokine product is for research purposes only.It may not be used for therapeutics or diagnostic purposes.

Methods
HPSC-derived SMC subtypes predict MMP and TIMP expression and activity in rat aortic SMCs of corresponding origins.
- The origin-specific SMCs (top panel) replicated similar trends of elastin and collagen degradation as the rat aortic SMCs (bottom panel) in response to IL-1β.
Proteolytic assays
- 96-well plates were coated with either 0.1 mg/ml of elastin or collagen type I, of which both were FITC conjugated .
- HESC-derived SMCs or rat SMCs were then seeded 6,000 cells/well.
- Following incubation overnight, 10 ng/ml of IL-1β was added in serum-free media.
- Activity of secreted proteases was assessed by the increase of fluorescence measured at excitation/emission = 490 nm/ 520 nm using the Wallac Envision 2104 multilabel reader .
- To take into account any differential cell proliferation due to IL-1β, the fluorescence readout was normalized against the corresponding cell number/well.
Preparation of bone marrow-derived mast cells
- Bone marrow cells were harvested from femurs of LEW rats and cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1 mM HEPES, 50 µM 2-mercaptoethanol, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 µg/ml streptomycin.
- The cells were cultured in the presence of 10 ng/ml of recombinant rat IL-3β , and the nonadherent cells were passaged every 3 days.
- 4 weeks later, the cells were used as mast cells for experiments and referred to as BMMCs

Inhibition of NK1-R in the RVM attenuates IL-1β-induced bilateral hyperalgesia.
- IL-1β (160 fmol/0.5 μl) was microinjected unilaterally into the Vi/Vc 15 min prior to RP67580 and L-733,060 microinjection into the RVM (0.5 μl).
Surgical preparation/cannulation
- Rats were anesthetized using 50 mg/kg of pentobarbital sodium (i.p) and 2-3% isoflurane inhalation in a 30/70% oxygen/nitrogen gas mixture.
- Rats were placed in a stereotaxic device ( , 900).
- A midline incision was made in the scalp after debridement and sterilization of the surgical field with iodine wash. For administration of drugs via microinjection, guide cannulae (C315G, 26 gauge , , ) were implanted and cemented into the skull.
- A midline opening was made in the skull using a dental drill and a guide cannula was lowered into the ventral Vi/Vc transition zone or RVM by referring to the rat brain atlas [3 receptor antagonist Y-25130 (Tocris; , ) were microinjected into the Vi/Vc transition zone.
- The Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists L-733,060 and RP67580 were microinjected into the RVM.
- IL-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist, Y-25130, and L-733,060 were reconstituted in deionized water while RP67580 was reconstituted in DMSO.
Transwell Migration Assay-in vitro Blocking Experiments
-
In vitro motility assays were performed as previously described 4/100 µL density to the insert of a transwell plate with 8
µ m pore size in EBM-2: EGM-2 (4∶1) medium. - Cells were then allowed to migrate for 6 h across the pore membrane, toward medium'>Sham medium or SS-AF-MSC-CM.
- After the 6 h incubation period, the non-migrated cells were removed from the top of the insert with a wet cotton swab.
- The migrated cells were then fixed with 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde on the membrane and stained sequentially with eosin and hematoxilin (all from .).
- Migration was quantified by counting the nuclei that passed through the filter.
- Photographs of the stained nuclei were taken from a minimum of 10 fields of view (20Χ) for each membrane using an inverted TE300 microscope fitted with a cooled CCD camera and Simple PCI software and experiments were performed repeated twice.
