Product details

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 A549 cell line (ab288558). 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.

This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the limited use licenses and relevant patents please refer to our limited use license and patent pages.

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.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

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

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

CHD8 also known as Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding Protein 8 is a member of the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling proteins with an approximate mass of 290 kDa. This protein plays a critical role in maintaining chromatin structure by modulating the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors and repair machinery. CHD8 is ubiquitously expressed with notable presence in the brain and other tissues. Through its ability to regulate gene expression CHD8 influences several cellular processes including embryonic development and neural function.
Biological function summary

CHD8 acts as a chromatin remodeler involved in transcriptional regulation. It associates with multiprotein complexes such as the SWI/SNF complex to control gene expression finely. CHD8 can directly bind to promoter regions of target genes impacting their transcriptional activity. In neural development CHD8 contributes to cell differentiation axon guidance and synaptic connectivity highlighting its significance in cognitive functions.

Pathways

CHD8 is involved in critical pathways regulating cellular proliferation and differentiation. Notably it participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and interacts with factors like β-catenin to regulate the transcription of Wnt-responsive genes. CHD8 also interacts with proteins such as CTNNB1 and TCF7L2 demonstrating its role in the modulation of signaling pathways essential for developmental processes and cellular homeostasis.

CHD8 mutations have been implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities. Aberrations in CHD8 function can result in dysregulated gene expression contributing to neurological development problems. Furthermore the protein's interactions with targets like FOXG1 and TBR1 reinforce its connection to the etiology of ASD. Understanding CHD8's role in these disorders may offer insight into potential therapeutic targets for ameliorating symptoms associated with its dysfunction.
