Cell Culture Supernates:
HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate until confluent. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human CHI3L1, and measured 0.944 ng/mL.

MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate for 4 days. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human CHI3L1, and measured 3.04 ng/mL.

An aliquot of each cell culture supernate was removed and assayed for human CHI3L1. U-87 MG cells measured 16.1 ng/mL, and the SK-Mel-28 cells measured 0.071 ng/mL.

HASMC human aortic smooth muscle cells were cultured in Medium 231 supplemented with smooth muscle growth supplement until confluent. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human CHI3L1, and measured 0.623 ng/mL.

Product Summary

The Quantikine Human CHI3L1 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure CHI3L1 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human CHI3L1 and antibodies raised against recombinant human CHI3L1 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural CHI3L1 showed dose response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human CHI3L1.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision

Background: Chitinase 3-like 1/YKL-40

Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1), also called BRP39 in mouse or YKL-40 in humans, is a 39 kDa glycoprotein member of the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family although it does not show chitotriosidase activity. CHI3L1 is expressed by articular chondrocytes, synovial cells, activated monocyte-derived macrophages, neutrophils, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and some cancer cells. CHI3L1 binds to chitin and heparins, and it enhances cell adhesion, proliferation and tumor angiogenesis. Circulating CHI3L1 is elevated during inflammation and connective tissue remodeling such as arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and liver cirrhosis. It is frequently upregulated in glioblastoma, myxoid chondrosarcoma, melanoma and carcinomas of the breast, thyroid, colon, lung, kidney, and ovary.
