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 2-3x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
  • Slow growing. A partial media change is recommended at least twice between passages.
Culture medium

Ham's F-12 + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

BACE2 also known as beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 2 is an aspartic acid protease. It has a molecular mass of roughly 70 kDa. This enzyme cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the beta-secretase site. BACE2 is mainly expressed in the brain but also found in other tissues like the pancreas. It shares similarity with BACE1 another protease involved in APP processing.
Biological function summary

BACE2 acts on substrates to regulate amyloidogenic processing of APP. It belongs to the peptidase A1 Family. Unlike its counterpart BACE1 which promotes amyloid-beta peptide production BACE2 has been suggested to reduce amyloid-beta formation by different substrate cleavage. Though not part of a stable complex BACE2 influences pathways related to protein processing.

Pathways

One should note that BACE2 is involved in the amyloidogenic pathway. This pathway processes APP and affects amyloid-beta levels important in neurological conditions. BACE2 acts with proteins like APP and might modulate the effects seen due to BACE1 activity. Despite overlapping functions BACE2 and BACE1 have distinct roles in this pathway impacting amyloid levels differently.

People look at BACE2 because of its connection to Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. BACE2 might act as a protective factor against Alzheimer's by limiting amyloid-beta accumulation. Down syndrome characterized by trisomy 21 involves heightened BACE2 expression which may modify neurodevelopment. In Alzheimer's research BACE1 has been the focus due to its role in disease progression but BACE2's contrasting effects offer a potential therapeutic angle.
