Handle region peptide, rat

The immortalized rat glomerular mesangial cells are incubated at 37°C in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% bovine calf serum (BCS) in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air plus 5% CO₂. When the cell reaches about 80% confluence, they are made quiescent by decreasing BCS to 0.5% for 24 to 48 h. To detect the effect of Handle region peptide on p44/42 MAP kinase, the cells are further cultured in serum-deprived medium for 24 h before 1 µM Handle region peptide is added in. The cells are harvested at 0, 1, 5, 10, 60, 120 min time points after Handle region peptide application. Protein isolated from cell lyses is used for subsequent Western blotting analysis^[1].

Rats^[2]
Long-Evans rats (5-7 weeks old) are treated with 0.1-mL intraperitoneal injections of vehicle (PBS) or Handle region peptide (0.1 or 0.01 mg/kg body weight) the day before and immediately after the injection of LPS. The effects of Handle region peptide treatment on ocular inflammation are evaluated 24 hours after LPS injection^[2].
