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

Focadhesin also known as FDN-1 is a structural protein involved in cell adhesion processes. It has a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa. Focadhesin primarily expresses in epithelial tissue where it plays a role in maintaining cell junction integrity. Researchers prefer focusing on this target for studies related to tissue development and repair. The solid expression in epithelial cells makes it integral to tissue architecture and stability.
Biological function summary

Focadhesin contributes to cellular adhesion and communication mechanisms. It operates as part of a multiprotein complex associated with adhesion molecules such as cadherins and integrins. This complex facilitates the stabilization of cell junctions supporting structural cohesion between cells. Focadhesin's presence is necessary for processes involving epithelial cell cohesion and barrier function. Its interactions with other adhesion molecules promote the assembly and maintenance of intercellular connections.

Pathways

Focadhesin plays a significant role in cell signaling pathways that control cell adhesion and migration particularly the Wnt and PI3K/AKT pathways. Its interaction with proteins like beta-catenin and phosphoinositide 3-kinase highlights its importance in signaling cascades that affect cellular dynamics and growth. These pathways influence cellular responses and integrity impacting processes like tissue remodeling and stress responses.

Focadhesin's dysfunctional expression has links to epithelial cancers such as breast and colorectal cancer. Altered focadhesin levels may disrupt adhesion and signaling promoting tumor progression and metastasis. It also associates with fibrotic disorders like pulmonary fibrosis where improper adhesion molecule regulation contributes to structural tissue changes. Focadhesin's relationship with proteins such as E-cadherin and TGF-beta reveals its involvement in these pathological conditions making it a target of interest for therapeutic interventions.
