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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.

Activity summary

CD147 also referred to as EMMPRIN or basigin is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of roughly 50–60 kDa. This protein is found on the surface of many cell types including leukocytes platelets and endothelial cells and it plays a critical role in cell function related to immune responses and cellular interactions. CD147 interacts with several cellular components serving mechanical functions such as facilitating cell-to-cell communication and contributing to the stability of cell structures. The protein is ubiquitously expressed but exhibits higher levels in tissues like the brain skin and liver.

Biological function summary

CD147 engages in multiple roles beyond its mechanical functions. It functions as a part of protein complexes and is involved in processes such as regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are pivotal in tissue remodeling and repair. It can modulate inflammatory responses and is essential for cellular signaling pathways that affect cellular metabolism and growth. The involvement of CD147 in immune responses indicates its importance in various physiological processes.

Pathways

CD147 plays a significant role in the MAPK and NF-kB signaling pathways which are fundamental for controlling inflammatory responses and cell survival. It interacts with proteins such as integrins and cyclophilins which are important for mediating these pathways. These interactions highlight CD147's impact on cellular dynamics and its potential role in modulating the cellular environment in response to external stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD147 has been implicated in cancer promotion and progression as well as inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Its overexpression is often observed in tumors where it interacts with MMPs to facilitate tumor invasion and metastasis. In inflammatory conditions CD147 can influence the behavior of proteins like cytokines exacerbating symptoms and contributing to disease severity. These associations make CD147 a potential target for therapeutic intervention in cancer and inflammatory diseases.
