Western blot - Human DGCR8 knockout HCT116 cell line (AB287366)

Western blot : Anti-DGCR8 antibody [EPR18757] (ab191875) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab191875 was shown to bind specifically to DGCR8. A band was observed at 100 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in DGCR8 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and DGCR8 knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

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

McCoY5a + 10% FBS

Supplementary information

The DGCR8 protein also known as Pasha in some organisms serves an important role in the microRNA (miRNA) processing machinery. It has a molecular mass of approximately 90 kDa and shows expression ubiquitously but with higher levels in tissues with active cell division like the brain and lungs. DGCR8 acts as a partner in a complex with Drosha and together they initiate the microRNA maturation process by cleaving primary miRNA transcripts into precursor miRNA in the nucleus.
Biological function summary

DGCR8 partners with Drosha to form the Microprocessor complex an important player in miRNA biogenesis. This complex identifies and accurately processes primary transcripts into precursor miRNAs a step essential for proper gene regulation. DGCR8's role is critical for maintaining the normal cellular function enabling the precise control of miRNA production which in turn modulates gene expression post-transcriptionally. Aberrations in its function affect the regulation of genes involved in cell cycle differentiation and development.

Pathways

DGCR8 holds a significant influence on the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway interacting closely with Drosha to regulate miRNA synthesis. This pathway is fundamental for the regulation of genetic networks involved in cellular development and homeostasis. In the context of the miRNA processing pathway DGCR8 links to proteins like Dicer which further processes precursor miRNAs in the cytoplasm. Proper function of these pathways ensures the balanced expression of mRNAn important for healthy cellular activities.

DGCR8 misregulation is associated with the development of DiGeorge syndrome and certain cancers. Alterations in its function can lead to compromised miRNA maturation impacting genes that control cell growth and survival. In DiGeorge syndrome haploinsufficiency of DGCR8 may contribute to the associated developmental anomalies. In cancer altered DGCR8 expression can disrupt miRNA profiles interacting further with proteins such as Argonaute to influence the dysregulation of gene expression profiles commonly observed in tumorigenesis.
