Description

Kinetensin is a neurotensin-like peptide isolated from pepsin-treated human plasma.

IC50 & Target[1]

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

The peptide kinetensin isolated from pepsin-treated human plasma induces a dose-dependent release of histamine when exposed to rat peritoneal mast cells. The threshold concentration is around 1 μM, the ED50 is 10 μM, and the optimal concentration of between 100 to 1000 μM released 80% of the total histamine. Kinetensin is 10 to 100 times less potent than neurotensin and equipotent with the opioid peptide dynorphin. The histamine release is clearly temperature-dependent, with no release occurring at 0 or 45 °C and with an optimum around 37 °C. The histamine release is significantly reduced in the absence of extracellular calcium[2].

In Vivo

Kinetensin also induces a dose-dependent increase in vascular permeability when injected intradermally into rats[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.13 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.13 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[2]

Rat peritoneal mast cells are incubated with kinetensin at 37°C for 10 min. The incubation is stopped by the addition of 1.8 mL of ice-cold buffered saline and cells are separated from supernatant by centrifugation. Histamine release is expressed as per cent of total mast cell histamine[2].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[2]

Rats[2]

Anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats are given 25I-albumin i.v. Samples are then injected intradermally in 5x2 spots on the back and comprised saline as a control or kinetensin in different doses in 100 μL saline. After 20 rain, skin biopsies of 7 mm diameter are cut out, weighed and transferred to a gamma-counter. Results are expressed as: (counts per min (cpm) in tissue per gram wet weight/cpm in plasma per mL plasma)[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
