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.
Storage

- Activity summary
SMARCA6 also known as SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A member 6 is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 170 kDa. It functions as an ATPase and is an important component of chromatin remodeling complexes. SMARCA6 plays a role in modifying chromatin structure through ATP hydrolysis which influences gene expression. This protein is expressed in various tissues and its expression can be detected across different cell types including those involved in blood functions.
- Biological function summary
SMARCA6 influences gene expression by modifying the chromatin structure which allows transcription factors to access DNA. It is a part of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex critical for regulating a wide range of genes involved in development and cell cycle. Through the remodeling of chromatin SMARCA6 controls access to specific genomic regions and modulates transcriptional activation or repression therefore influencing cellular differentiation and proliferation.
- Pathways
SMARCA6 participates in pathways involved in chromatin organization and gene regulation. It engages in the Wnt signaling pathway interacting with proteins such as BAF155 and BAF170 to modulate transcriptional outcomes. SMARCA6's activity in these pathways is essential for cellular processes impacting how cells respond to growth signals and maintain homeostasis.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Aberrations in SMARCA6 function or expression can lead to complications such as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. It has been linked to leukemia where chromatin remodeling anomalies disrupt normal gene expression patterns. In such contexts SMARCA6 interacts with proteins like BAF57 affecting the regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Altered SMARCA6 activity in these diseases highlights its role in maintaining genomic stability and proper cell function.
