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

Activity summary

The Eph receptor B4 also known as EphB4 or HTK is a protein belonging to the Ephrin receptor subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases. The receptor has a molecular weight of about 120 kDa. EphB4 typically interacts with its binding partner ephrin-B2 facilitating bidirectional signaling. These complexes reside in the cell membrane and are mainly found in vascular endothelial cells and various tissues including the heart lungs and skin. Notably this receptor plays a role in cellular processes like cell migration and adhesion.

Biological function summary

The Eph receptor B4 is a significant regulator of angiogenesis and vascular development. It forms a critical component of a signaling complex that also includes ephrin-B2. During embryonic development EphB4's interaction with ephrin-B2 guides the proper formation and organization of blood vessels. In adult organisms it remains active in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Additionally this receptor impacts neuronal development and repair through modulating axon guidance and synaptic plasticity.

Pathways

EphB4 engages in various cellular signaling cascades. It features prominently within pathways governing angiogenesis and cell adhesion. EphB4 acts as a central player in the VEGF signaling pathway modulating endothelial cell behavior. The protein's pathways frequently intersect with other proteins such as FAK and Src influencing cell motility and morphology. Furthermore in the ephrin receptor pathway it cross-talks with other Eph receptors like EphA4 assisting in diverse biological functions.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal Eph receptor B4 activity associates with several pathological conditions. Dysregulation often links to cancer due to its role in neovascularization and tumor progression. Overexpression of EphB4 in tumors like breast and colorectal cancer suggests a contribution to malignancy by supporting angiogenesis and tumor growth. In vascular disorders impaired EphB4-ephrin-B2 signaling may lead to defects in blood vessel formation. Additionally alterations in this receptor are observed in neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's where EphB4 interacts with tau protein-modifying vascular and neuronal deficiencies.
