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
- Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Storage

- Activity summary
CASC4 short for Cancer Susceptibility Candidate 4 is a protein involved in cell processes with a mass of approximately 87 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues with higher levels observed in specific cancer types. Its exact mechanical role in cells includes interactions and binding to other cellular elements influencing cell functions and stability. Researchers usually study this protein by its official name due to its relevance in cancer studies and its interaction potentials in cellular mechanisms.
- Biological function summary
The protein plays a role in cellular growth and regulation. It is part of a larger complex that includes other signaling and structural proteins supporting its function in maintaining proper cellular environments. It may help ensure the cell cycle progresses smoothly influencing cell survival and replication. Its expression suggests it might help modulate responses under stress or during abnormal growth which can have implications for understanding certain cancer behaviors.
- Pathways
CASC4 engages in cellular signaling and growth regulation pathways specifically those related to cancer biology. It is involved in pathways such as the PI3K/AKT pathway which is important for cell proliferation and survival. In these networks CASC4 connects with other proteins like AKT potentially influencing the pathway’s outcomes on cell fate decisions and tumor progression. This interaction suggests that CASC4 may have a role in modifying signaling outcomes depending on different cellular contexts.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Research indicates that CASC4 is associated with cancer progression and certain subtypes like breast and colorectal cancers. These associations hint that abnormal expression or functioning of CASC4 could contribute to oncogenic processes. It often interacts with proteins like PTEN in these disease contexts emphasizing its potential impact on tumor suppression or promotion. Understanding these interactions could prove beneficial in developing targeted therapies or diagnostic markers for these cancers.
