Two type I membrane proteins belonging to the hemopoietin receptor family have been cloned and shown to bind IL-13 with high affinity. The lower affinity IL-13 binding protein is now referred to as IL-13 R alpha 1 and is also known as CD213a. IL-13 R alpha 1 combines with IL-4 R alpha to form a high affinity receptor complex capable of transducing an IL-13-dependent proliferative signal. The higher affinity IL-13 binding protein, now referred to as IL-13 R alpha 2, does not induce a signal and acts as a decoy receptor.

Scientific Data Images for Human IL‑13 R alpha 2 Antibody
Detection of Human IL‑13 R alpha 2 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of human placenta tissue and human testis tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 5 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human IL-13 Ra2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB614) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for IL-13 Ra2 at approximately 50-55 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of IL-13 R alpha 2 by Western Blot
Evaluation of apoptosis and microvessel density after sunitinib treatment in xenograft model derived from cell lines.MVD was decreased by sunitinib treatment of each xenograft tumor derived from (A) 786-O or (B) Caki-1 subclones regardless of IL13RA2 expression level. MVD was determined from CD31 staining using Image J software. Statistical analysis was performed using the Students’ t-test (*P < 0.01). Immunoblot analysis of (C) 786-O subclones and (D) Caki-1 subclones. IL13RA2 expression was negatively correlated with the phosphorylation of STAT6. Whole cell extracts were immunoblotted using the indicated antibodies. ssDNA staining of xenograft tumors derived from (E) 786-O subclones and (B) Caki-1 subclones treated with sunitinib or vehicle only. Apoptosis was assessed by calculating the ssDNA positivity rate. Statistical analysis was performed using the Students’ t-test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26114873), licensed under a CC-BY license.

Overexpression of IL13RA2 leads to acquired resistance to sunitinib and shRNA-mediated IL13RA2 knockdown induces sensitivity to sunitinib.(A) Immunoblot analysis of 786-O subclones infected with retrovirus encoding mock or WT IL13RA2. Whole cell extracts were immunoblotted using the indicated antibodies. Sequential changes in subcutaneous xenograft tumors from 786-O subclones infected with (B) mock or (C) WT IL13RA2 treated with sunitinib and vehicle (control). Each time point represents the mean ± SE of tumor volume in each group. The difference in tumor size between the treatment group and control was statistically significant in 786-O-mock cells but not statistically significant in 786-O-IL13RA2 cells (*P < 0.05, n.s.: not significant; two-way repeated ANOVA). The horizontal arrow bars indicate the periods of sunitinib administration. (D) Immunoblot analysis of Caki-1 subclones infected with lentivirus encoding scrambled or IL13RA2 shRNA. Whole cell extracts were immunoblotted using the indicated antibodies. Sequential changes of subcutaneous xenograft tumors from a Caki-1 subclone infected with (E) scrambled or (F) IL13RA2 shRNA treated with sunitinib and vehicle (control). Each time point represents the mean ± SE of tumor volume in each group. Day 0 is the first day of sunitinib administration 4 weeks after transplantation. The difference in tumor size between the treatment group and control was not significant in Caki-1-sh-scrambled cells but statistically significant in Caki-1-sh-IL13RA2 cells (n.s.: not significant, *P < 0.05; two-way repeated ANOVA). The arrow bars indicate the period of sunitinib administration.

Evaluation of IL13RA2 mRNA and protein expression.(A) Evaluation of IL13RA2 mRNA expression in KURC1 and KURC2 xenograft tumors treated with sunitinib or vehicle by qPCR. All samples were prepared in triplicate and data are presented as the mean ± SE from indicated number of samples. Columns, mean; bar, SE. The difference in the mRNA expression levels between the sunitinib-treated group and control or sensitive group in KURC1 was statistically significant (*P < 0.01; Students’ t-test). There was no significant difference in KURC2 groups. (B) Immunohistochemical staining of IL13RA2 in KURC1 xenograft tumors. Scale bar, 50 μm. (C) IL13RA2 expression in human ccRCC tumors with the response to sunitinib treatment evaluated by immunohistochemistry. ccRCC tumor samples were collected from patients prior to sunitinib treatment. Left: representative pictures of immunohistochemistry sections of tumors showing none, weak, or strong staining for IL13RA2. Right: ratio of IL13RA2 expression pattern and correlation of the response to sunitinib treatment. Scale bar, 100 μm.
