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.

Supplementary information

CRAT or carnitine O-acetyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of acyl groups from acyl-CoA to carnitine. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 70 kDa. CRAT is mainly expressed in the mitochondria peroxisomes and some degree in the cytosol of tissues with high energy demands such as the heart liver and skeletal muscle. It plays a critical role in modulating the concentration of acyl-CoA and carnitine compounds within these cellular compartments which impacts lipid metabolism significantly.
Biological function summary

Carnitine O-acetyltransferase facilitates the transportation of acyl groups across the mitochondrial membranes influencing energy homeostasis by converting excess acyl-CoA to acylcarnitine. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but operates as a singular catalytic entity. The enzyme's function in balancing acyl-CoA and free CoA levels is essential for maintaining cellular metabolic flexibility allowing cells to switch energy sources efficiently when necessary.

Pathways

Carnitine O-acetyltransferase sits within the fatty acid oxidation pathway aiding in the linkage between carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It interacts with proteins like carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase important for controlling the flow of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation. The action of CRAT impacts the ketogenesis pathway assisting in maintaining energy production through conversion of stored fats when glucose is not readily available.

Carnitine O-acetyltransferase influences conditions like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome owing to its role in lipid metabolism. Dysregulation of CRAT function disrupts fatty acid utilization which can lead to the development of these metabolic conditions. Additionally CRAT associates with proteins such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase and AMP-activated protein kinase both of which are implicated in the regulation of these metabolic pathways and disorders.
