Western blot - Human CTSD knockout A-431 cell line (AB261891)

Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab134169 observed at 46 kDa. Red - loading control ab7291 (mouse anti-tubulin) observed at 50 kDa.

ab134169 was shown to recognize in wild-type A-431 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in CTSD knockout cell line ab261891 (knockout cell lysate ab261700). Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout samples. Wild-type and CTSD knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The membrane was blocked with 3% NF milk. ab134169 and ab7291 (Mouse anti-tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/2000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 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.
Culture medium

Activity summary

Cathepsin D also known as CTSD is a protein with a mass of approximately 45 kDa. It functions as an aspartyl protease and is expressed in lysosomes across various tissues including the liver and kidneys. This enzyme acts by cleaving peptide bonds within proteins which is essential for protein degradation and turnover. Cathepsin D exists as precursor forms that become activated in the acidic environment of the lysosome. It plays a critical role in normal cellular processes by maintaining protein homeostasis.

Biological function summary

The enzymatic activity of Cathepsin D is important for cellular maintenance and apoptosis. This protease does not act within larger protein complexes but contributes to the degradation of extracellular and intracellular proteins. It mediates processes like antigen processing where it deconstructs proteins into peptides that are presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. ELISA tests can quantify its expression levels sometimes termed as CTSD activity in various biological samples offering insights into its role within cellular environments.

Pathways

Cathepsin D involvement includes the lysosomal degradation pathway and the apoptotic signaling pathway. In the lysosomal degradation pathway Cathepsin D breaks down proteins and peptides a process important for cellular recycling and energy release. It interacts with other lysosomal enzymes such as Cathepsin B in this pathway ensuring comprehensive breakdown of cellular waste. The apoptotic signaling pathway involves the regulation of programmed cell death where Cathepsin D can influence the activation of downstream proteins like Bcl-2 and Bax which control cell survival.

Associated diseases and disorders

The overexpression of Cathepsin D links to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. In breast cancer increased Cathepsin D expression correlates with tumor progression and metastasis influencing tumor behavior through interactions with other proteins involved in cell proliferation. Alzheimer's disease features the involvement of Cathepsin D in the breakdown of amyloid precursor protein which relates to amyloid beta plaque accumulation. The abnormal activity of Cathepsin D in these disorders makes it a potential target for therapeutic antibodies such as CTSD antibodies which aim to regulate its function.
