Product details

Recommended control: Human wild-type THP-1 cell line (ab281894). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.

  • Upon thawing make banks as soon as possible and use each bank within 10-20 passages

  • As cell line growth can vary please attempt culture for 2 weeks from revival of initial bank before contacting the technical team.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

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

ATG7 also known as Autophagy Related 7 is an essential protein involved in the autophagy process. It functions as an E1-like enzyme activating and transferring ubiquitin-like proteins such as ATG12 and LC3. The molecular weight of ATG7 is approximately 78 kDa. It is widely expressed in various tissues although expression levels can differ. One can detect ATG7 using immunoassays like ELISA or antibodies specifically targeting ATG7. Understanding its mechanical role is key to studying cellular homeostasis.
Biological function summary

ATG7 plays a significant role in autophagy a cellular degradation pathway critical for cell survival under stress. ATG7 contributes to the formation of autophagosomes by facilitating conjugation of ATG8 family proteins including LC3 to phosphatidylethanolamine. It acts within complexes that regulate cellular energy balance and stress responses ensuring cells maintain their function and integrity. Knockdown of ATG7 can impair autophagic flux highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular processes.

Pathways

ATG7 is a central player in the autophagy pathway influencing cellular metabolism and turnover. It interacts closely with ATG5 and ATG12 in this pathway to form a conjugation system essential for autophagosome elongation. Additionally ATG7 is involved in the mTOR signaling pathway which regulates nutrient sensing and cellular growth. Interaction with proteins like mTOR allows ATG7 to integrate signals from nutrient availability and stress responses finely tuning the autophagy process.

ATG7 dysfunction has connections to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Abnormal ATG7 activity disrupts autophagic balance possibly leading to the accumulation of damaged proteins and organelles contributing to disease progression. In cancer altered ATG7 expression may influence tumor survival by affecting cellular stress responses. Proteins such as p53 involved in cell cycle regulation often show association with ATG7-related pathways indicating a complex network influencing disease states. Understanding ATG7's role in these conditions can help explore potential therapeutic strategies.
