Western blot - Human BCL2L2 knockout HeLa cell line (AB265368)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-BCL2L2 antibody staining at 1/500 dilution, shown in green; loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A]) staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, the antibody was shown to bind specifically to BCL2L2. A band was observed at 17 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in BCL2L2 knockout cell line ab265368 (knockout cell lysate ab258325). To generate this image, wild-type and BCL2L2 knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. 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 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.

Supplementary information

Bcl2L2 also known as Bcl-w is a protein that functions as an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family. It has a molecular weight of approximately 21 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues such as the brain testis and kidney suggesting it plays a significant role in these organs. Bcl2L2's expression pattern and structure contribute to its function in regulating apoptotic pathways by inhibiting cell death signals.
Biological function summary

The function of Bcl-w involves its role in promoting cell survival. It is part of a complex network of interactions within the Bcl-2 family. This protein family includes both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins and Bcl-w helps maintain the balance by impeding apoptosis. The protein localizes to the mitochondrial outer membrane where it sequesters pro-apoptotic members such as Bax and Bak preventing the release of cytochrome c an essential step in the apoptosis process.

Pathways

The Bcl-w protein integrates into the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. It interacts closely with other Bcl-2 family proteins to ensure cellular homeostasis. Important pathways involving Bcl-w include the mitochondrial or intrinsic apoptosis pathway and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway both of which regulate cell survival. Related proteins include Bcl-2 Bcl-XL Bax and Bak. These proteins collectively modulate the apoptosis signaling and therefore influence cell fate decisions within tissues where Bcl-w is expressed.

Bcl-w has been implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases due to its role in cell survival and apoptosis regulation. In certain cancers the overexpression of Bcl-w protein can lead to unchecked cell proliferation by avoiding apoptosis therefore promoting tumor growth. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease altered expression of Bcl-w may contribute to neuronal survival affecting disease progression. Proteins like Bax and Bak which promote apoptosis are often in regulatory interplay with Bcl-w in these conditions highlighting the delicate balance of pro-survival and pro-apoptotic forces in disease states.
