ab32136 staining Amyloid Precursor Protein in wild-type HEK293 cells (top panel) and APP knockout HEK293 cells (ab255362) (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab32136 at 1/500 dilution and ab7291 (Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin) at 1/1000 dilution overnight at 4°C followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150120) at 2 μg/ml (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems TCS SP8).

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
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium

Supplementary information

The Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) also known as amyloid protein is a transmembrane protein that is approximately 695 to 770 amino acids in length depending on the isoform. The molecular mass of APP can vary but typically falls around 100 to 140 kDa. It is heavily expressed in the central nervous system particularly in neurons but also in other tissues like muscle and kidney. The APP undergoes proteolytic processing which leads to the generation of various fragments including beta-amyloid peptides.
Biological function summary

The processing of APP plays a fundamental role in neuronal growth survival and repair. APP is cleaved into fragments that can regulate synaptic function and plasticity. It does not operate as a part of a complex but interacts with various cellular components. The protein participates in signaling pathways influencing cellular adhesion motility and neurite outgrowth. APP's numerous interaction partners facilitate its involvement in different cellular processes highlighting its critical role in normal cell function.

Pathways

The APP is a central component in the amyloidogenic pathway where its cleavage by beta-secretase and gamma-secretase yields beta-amyloid. This pathway is one of two primary metabolic routes for APP—alternative enzymatic processing through the non-amyloidogenic pathway precludes beta-amyloid formation releasing peptides that do not aggregate. Enzymes like BACE1 (beta-secretase 1) and presenilin are important in the amyloidogenic pathway directly resulting in the production of the neurotoxic amyloid beta-peptide.

APP is intensely linked to Alzheimer's disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Accumulation of beta-amyloid peptides formed from APP cleavage is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease leading to plaque formation in the brain. This aggregation impacts neuronal function and is associated with neurodegenerative processes. Interactions with proteins like tau are significant as tau also plays an essential role in Alzheimer's disease pathology. Misprocessing of APP and the resulting beta-amyloid aggregates are also contributors to cerebral amyloid angiopathy where deposits within cerebrovascular walls compromise vascular integrity.
