Growth arrest-specific 6, also known as GAS6, is a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain-containing protein thought to be involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation. It has been reported that both PC-3 and DU 145 human prostate cancer cell lines are stimulated to proliferate by Gas6, however, this proliferative response strictly correlates with the expression of the Axl receptor, being higher in DU 145 cells. To test the proliferative effect of Gas6, DU 145 cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 2000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with serum-free standard DMEM prior to the addition of various concentrations of GAS6. After incubated for 72h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10 microl of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then measure the absorbance at 450nm using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37C. Cell proliferation of DU145 cells after incubation with GAS6 for 72h observed by inverted microscope.

Growth arrest-specific protein 6

This gene encodes a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-containing protein thought to be involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation. This gene is frequently overexpressed in many cancers and has been implicated as an adverse prognostic marker. Elevated protein levels are additionally associated with a variety of disease states, including venous thromboembolic disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic renal failure, and preeclampsia.
