Western blot - Human EPAS1 (HIF-2-alpha) knockout A549 cell line (AB259774)

Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab109616 observed at 100 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) observed at 37kDa.

ab109616 was shown to react with HIF-2-alpha in A549 wild-type cells in western blot with loss of signal observed in EPAS1 knockout sample. A549 wild-type and EPAS1 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-T (0.1% Tween®) before incubation with ab109616 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) overnight at 4° at 1 μg/ml and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated 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 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-HIF-2-alpha antibody [OTI2G5] staining at 1/500 dilution shown in black; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution shown in red. In Western blot ab157249 was shown to bind specifically to HIF-2-alpha. A band was observed at 100 kDa in treated wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in EPAS1 knockout cell line ab259774 (knockout cell lysate ab259779). To generate this image wild-type and EPAS1 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % BSA in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature washed again four times before development with Optiblot (ECL reagent ab133456) and imaged with 20 seconds exposure time. Secondary antibodies used were HRP conjugated Goat anti-Mouse (H+L) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216777) 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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.

Supplementary information

HIF-2-alpha also known as hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha or EPAS1 plays a significant role in cellular response to oxygen levels. Mechanically HIF-2-alpha functions as a transcription factor that activates certain genes when oxygen is low. The protein typically weighs around 118 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues but particularly in endothelial cells and some neuronal tissues. These sites highlight its importance in organs requiring tight regulation of oxygen.
Biological function summary

HIF-2-alpha regulates the expression of genes involved in energy metabolism and angiogenesis. The protein forms a complex by dimerizing with the HIF-1-beta subunit which is necessary for transcriptional activity. Through this complex formation and activity it influences processes such as erythropoiesis and regulates factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Therefore HIF-2-alpha contributes to the adaptation of cells and tissues under hypoxic conditions.

Pathways

HIF-2-alpha engages in the hypoxia signaling pathway playing an essential part by modulating gene expression in response to low oxygen availability. This role impacts other proteins such as HIF-1-alpha sharing overlapping functions but with distinct target genes. Additionally HIF-2-alpha is involved in the mTOR pathway which influences cell growth and metabolism through its interaction with the nutrient-sensing regulatory pathway.

Researchers have linked HIF-2-alpha with conditions like renal cell carcinoma and pulmonary hypertension. The protein's dysregulation can lead to altered expression of angiogenic factors promoting tumor growth and survival. In particular its connection with VEGF exemplifies its role in these pathologies by facilitating aberrant blood vessel formation. Such interactions further highlight the potential of HIF-2-alpha as a therapeutic target in disease modulation.
