Western blot - Human ATG12 knockout THP-1 cell line (AB277831)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-ATG12 antibody [EPR4800] staining at 1/1000 dilution shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution shown in red. In Western blot ab109491 was shown to bind specifically to ATG12. A band likely to be the unfunctional complex with ATG5 was observed at 52 kDa in wild-type THP-1 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Atg12 knockout cell line ab277831 (knockout cell lysate ab278183) - unconjugated functional form not observed at 15 kDa. To generate this image wild-type and Atg12 knockout THP-1 cell lysates were analysed. First samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

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. Based on cell count, seed cells in an appropriate cell culture flask at a density of 4x105 cells/mL. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Cultures should be monitored daily.
5. THP-1 cells recover slowly from cryopreservation and therefore may not be ready for subculture for a number of days. Cells should be left as much as possible over this time and only subcultured when the cell density reaches 8x105 cells/mL.Small amounts of fresh media can be added until cell number/viability improves.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • Cells should be seeded at 2x105 - 3x105 cells/mL and subcultured when they have reached 8x105 cells/mL.
  • It is not recommended to allow the cell density to exceed 1x106 cells/mL.
Culture medium

RPMI + 10% FBS + 0.05 mM beta-mercaptoethanol

Cryopreservation medium

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

Supplementary information

ATG12 also known as Autophagy-related protein 12 plays a critical role in autophagy an essential cellular process for degrading and recycling cellular components. The molecular weight of ATG12 is around 14 kDa. It is part of the ATG12-conjugation system and is invariably expressed in various tissues with notable presence in the liver brain and heart. ATG12 forms a covalent bond with ATG5 in a ubiquitin-like conjugation pathway which is significant for this mechanism.
Biological function summary

ATG12 is vital for the formation of autophagosomes which are double-membraned vesicles that sequester cellular components for degradation. It functions as part of a complex by binding to ATG5 and further associates with ATG16L1 to form a larger ATG12-ATG5-ATG16 complex. This complex localizes to the outer membrane of the growing autophagosome facilitating elongation and closure of the vesicle making it effective in the regulation of autophagy.

Pathways

ATG12's interaction with other proteins like ATG5 places it in the macroautophagy pathway an important process maintaining cellular homeostasis and turnover of cellular components. In addition to this ATG12 also contributes to cellular responses to stress conditions via this pathway. Furthermore it has connections with signaling pathways involving proteins such as LC3 which marks autophagosomal membranes and interacts with ATG12-conjugated complexes enhancing the autophagic flux.

Researchers associate dysregulated expression of ATG12 with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease where impaired autophagy leads to toxic protein accumulation. Additionally alterations in ATG12 expression have links to cancer as enhanced autophagy in some tumor cells supports survival under metabolic stress. Both disorders demonstrate connections to proteins involved in the autophagy pathway suggesting therapeutic potential in modulating ATG12 activity.
