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

Supplementary information

GNPAT also known as glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase or dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (DAPAT) is an enzyme that plays an important role in lipid metabolism. The enzyme has a mass of approximately 73 kDa. It is expressed mainly in peroxisomes organelles involved in various metabolic functions. The enzyme catalyzes the initial and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of ether lipids like plasmalogens by converting dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to acyl-DHAP.
Biological function summary

GNPAT is essential in lipid biosynthesis since ether lipids are integral components of cell membranes and signaling molecules. The enzyme does not work in isolation; it forms part of a multi-enzyme complex that includes other important proteins like alkylglycerone phosphate synthase (AGPS). This association allows GNPAT to efficiently catalyze the first steps in the formation of plasmalogens which serve key roles in protecting cells from oxidative stress and in cell signaling.

Pathways

GNPAT functions efficiently within the ether lipid synthesis pathway which is critical for normal cellular membrane composition and function. The activity of GNPAT impacts the levels of plasmalogens influencing pathways involved in membrane dynamics and antioxidant defense. It works closely with AGPS enhancing the production of essential ether lipids and affects phospholipid metabolism interfacing indirectly with proteins involved in peroxisomal and mitochondrial functions.

GNPAT dysfunction has associations with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) a genetic disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities and developmental delay. The enzyme's interaction with proteins like Phospholipase A2 is relevant in understanding its role in RCDP. Additionally alterations in plasmalogen levels due to impaired GNPAT function are observed in neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. This connection highlights the importance of GNPAT in maintaining normal brain lipid metabolism and preventing cognitive decline.
