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

EML4 also known as Echinoderm Microtubule-Associated Protein-Like 4 is a microtubule-associated protein with a mass of approximately 120 kDa. This protein stabilizes microtubules and influences their organization during cell division. EML4 is widely expressed in various tissues particularly in the brain where it plays important roles in neuronal function. It interacts with microtubule structures to ensure proper chromosome segregation and mitotic spindle formation.
Biological function summary

EML4 facilitates microtubule stability and dynamics which are critical for intracellular transport and cell division. It is part of the EML family and can form complexes with other microtubule-associated proteins. EML4 helps in the regulation of structural arrangements that are important in both mitosis and meiosis processes. Its function in axonal transport becomes essential for proper neuronal development and maintenance.

Pathways

EML4 is involved in the MAPK/ERK and Ras signaling pathways. Within these pathways EML4 interacts with key proteins like KRAS and BRAF contributing to signal transduction that controls cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein's regulatory role in microtubule dynamics positions it as a link between cellular signaling and cytoskeletal organization.

EML4 is most commonly associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A gene fusion between EML4 and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) leads to the production of an oncogenic protein that drives tumorigenesis. This EML4-ALK fusion protein alters normal cell signaling pathways promoting cancer cell survival and growth. Research also connects EML4 to neurodegenerative diseases due to its important role in microtubule stabilization within neurons.
