Western blot - Human CACNA2D1 (Calcium channel L type DHPR alpha 2 subunit) knockout HeLa cell line (AB265080)

Lanes 1-2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab2864 observed at 150 kDa. Red - loading control ab181602 observed at 37 kDa.

ab2864 Anti-Calcium channel L type DHPR alpha 2 subunit/CACNA2D1 antibody [20A] was shown to specifically react with Calcium channel L type DHPR alpha 2 subunit/CACNA2D1 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265080 (knockout cell lysate ab257374) was used. Wild-type and Calcium channel L type DHPR alpha 2 subunit/CACNA2D1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab2864 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control (ab181602) were incubated overnight at 4°CC at 1 in 500 Dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) and Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

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

The Calcium channel L type DHPR alpha 2 subunit also known as CACNA2D1 or alpha-2-delta plays a significant role in cellular calcium regulation. This subunit typically part of the voltage-gated calcium channel complex allows calcium ions to enter the cells following electrical stimuli. With a mass of about 150 kDa CACNA2D1 expresses predominantly in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues and the central nervous system. Its presence across different tissues suggests various physiological roles linking its mechanical function to electrical signaling and muscle contraction.
Biological function summary

CACNA2D1 aids in modulating neurotransmitter release and excitation-contraction coupling. This protein often integrates into the larger voltage-gated calcium channel complex working in concert with other subunits to optimize calcium flow. This particular function supports critical processes in muscle cells and neurons integrating signals in response to electrical impulses. The alpha-2-delta ligand poses significance here as well often used to modify the channel's activity and study its role in cellular communication.

Pathways

CACNA2D1 actively participates in electrical signaling and muscle contraction pathways. It contributes to the excitation-contraction coupling pathway in muscle cells aligning closely with proteins like the ryanodine receptor ensuring efficient calcium-induced calcium release. Its action also extends to the neurotransmitter release pathway where it associates with synaptic proteins regulating neurotransmission. The function within these pathways underlines its importance in both muscle and neural activities.

CACNA2D1 associates with conditions such as epilepsy and neuropathic pain. The dysfunction in its channel activity can lead to altered calcium flow contributing to these disorders. The alpha-2-delta ligand such as the gabapentin chemical structure plays a role here often targeting the channel to mitigate symptoms. Gabapentin's influence highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting CACNA2D1 in disease management providing critical insights into neuromodulation treatments.
