Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.

1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.

Subculture guidelines
  • Slow to trypsinise.
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 5-7x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium

EMEM + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Supplementary information

AKT1 also known as Protein Kinase B (PKB) is a serine/threonine kinase involved in various cellular processes. AKT1 plays an important role in mediating signals for cell survival growth and metabolism. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 56 kDa. AKT1 is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues including the brain heart and lungs showing its importance in multiple physiological contexts. Phosphorylation of AKT1 at serine 473 denoted as p-AKT S473 is an important modification that regulates its activity.
Biological function summary

AKT1 regulates a broad spectrum of cellular functions through signaling pathways. It is an important player in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and AKT pathway forming part of a complex involved in promoting cell survival and growth. AKT1 interacts closely with other proteins such as mTOR influencing cellular metabolism and autophagy. The phosphorylation state of AKT1 is critical for its activity with modifications like p-AKT S473 impacting its interaction with cellular substrates.

Pathways

AKT1 participates in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling cascade instrumental in cell proliferation and metabolism. AKT1 integrates signals from insulin and growth factors modulating pathways that control cell growth and glucose uptake. This pathway involves proteins like mTOR and phospho-AKT which coordinate cellular responses to external stimuli. AKT1’s phosphorylation at serine 473 and the involvement of AKT1 E17K a gain-of-function mutation influence these pathways significantly.

AKT1 has associations with cancer and metabolic disorders. Dysregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway involving AKT1 and mTOR often results in oncogenic transformation and uncontrolled cellular proliferation. In cancer such as breast cancer AKT1 mutations including AKT1 E17K are implicated altering cell signals for growth. Additionally AKT1 is connected to metabolic disorders such as Type 2 diabetes where it affects insulin signaling and glucose metabolism highlighting its interaction with metabolic proteins like mTOR and phospho-AKT.
