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
  • Slow to trypsinise.
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 5-7x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium
MEM + 10% FBS + 0.01 mg/ml bovine insulin
Cryopreservation medium
Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Notes

Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.

Recommended control: Human wild-type MCF7 cell line (Human wild-type MCF7 cell line ab288560). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Activity summary

The protein p57^Kip2 also known as CDKN1C plays an important role as a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor aligning closely with proteins like p21 and p27. It weighs approximately 57 kiloDaltons. P57^Kip2's expression occurs in various tissues including the placenta muscle brain and kidney. This widespread expression suggests a multitiered function in different tissues. Researchers use p57 immunostain techniques to confirm its presence in tissues.

Biological function summary

P57^Kip2 acts as a regulator of cell cycle progression. It binds directly to cyclin-CDK complexes stopping cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase. This action prevents unregulated cell division and contributes to cellular differentiation. p57^Kip2 forms part of larger protein complexes further influencing various cellular processes. Its activity is important for embryonic development where it controls cell proliferation rates.

Pathways

P57^Kip2 integrates into pathways controlling cell cycle checkpoints and apoptosis. It interacts with proteins like cyclin D and E and the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) within the cell cycle regulation pathway. Additionally its presence in growth signaling pathways intersects with TGF-beta signaling. These pathways hold significant influence over development and cellular responses to DNA damage.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal expression of p57^Kip2 connects with cancers and growth disorders. Loss of function or downregulation often links to overgrowth syndromes like Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Conversely reduced expression levels associate with cancer proliferation particularly in cases such as Wilms' tumor. This association intertwines with mutations in genes like IGF2 and H19 which are critical in these conditions.
