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

DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

CD239 also known as basal cell adhesion molecule (BCAM) is an integral protein with a mass of about 60 kDa. This protein is primarily expressed in endothelial cells red blood cells and various epithelial tissues. BCAM plays a significant role in cell adhesion acting as a receptor for the extracellular matrix component laminin specifically laminin-511/521. It helps cells attach an essential role for maintaining tissue integrity and cellular communication.
Biological function summary

BCAM influences processes related to cell adhesion and motility. Although not explicitly part of a large complex it interacts closely with the cytoskeleton and mediators of signal transduction. Functions of BCAM involve linking extracellular matrix signals to the intracellular environment impacting cell movement and stabilization within tissues. It also modulates cellular responses to external mechanical stresses playing essential roles in maintaining normal cell function.

Pathways

BCAM is involved in several critical signaling processes including integrin-mediated adhesion and the MAPK/ERK pathway. How BCAM affects these pathways is through its interaction with integrins and elements related to cellular migration and proliferation. Within these pathways related proteins like laminins and other integrin subunits contribute to its adhesion properties and signaling functions enabling coordinated cellular responses to environmental cues.

BCAM is notably associated with sickle cell disease and certain cancers. In sickle cell disease the altered expression or function of BCAM on red blood cells causes abnormal adhesion to the endothelium leading to vaso-occlusion. This adhesion is often exacerbated by interactions with other proteins like L-selectin. In cancer BCAM overexpression correlates with increased tumor cell migration and invasion influencing metastasis and patient prognosis. These associations highlight BCAM's critical role in disease pathology and potential as a therapeutic target.
