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

McCoY5a + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Supplementary information

Glutathione reductase also known as GSR is an enzyme that plays a mechanical role in maintaining the redox balance within cells. This enzyme reduces glutathione disulfide (GSSG) to the sulfhydryl form GSH which is essential for detoxifying reactive oxygen species. Glutathione reductase has a molecular weight of approximately 55 kDa. It is widely expressed in various tissues including the liver where it participates in detoxification processes. The enzyme operates in the cytosol and mitochondria reflecting its necessity across different cellular compartments.
Biological function summary

The enzyme sustains a supply of reduced glutathione which is important for antioxidant defense and cellular protection against oxidative stress. As a critical player in the glutathione system it is not part of a larger complex but interacts significantly within the cellular antioxidant framework. It supports important functions like protein folding and DNA synthesis by keeping the cellular redox environment stable. The enzyme’s activity ensures that glutathione an important antioxidant with a molecular weight of 307.32 Da remains in its active form to fulfill its protective roles.

Pathways

The enzyme is deeply integrated into the pentose phosphate pathway which generates NADPH necessary for the reduction of glutathione disulfide. It also connects to the glutathione metabolism pathway where it maintains homeostasis through GSH regeneration. Glutathione reductase intersects with other proteins like glutathione peroxidase (GPx) which uses GSH to reduce hydrogen peroxide displaying a coordinated effort in mitigating oxidative damage.

Deficiency or dysfunction of this enzyme links to conditions such as hemolytic anemia where reduced enzyme activity leads to higher susceptibility to oxidative damage in red blood cells. Additionally its dysfunction associates with neurodegenerative disorders where oxidative stress plays a critical role. The enzyme's function relates to proteins like superoxide dismutase (SOD) in disease pathways where both contribute to managing oxidative stress. Understanding alterations in glutathione reductase activity may offer insights into therapeutic strategies for these oxidative stress-related conditions.
