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.

Biological function summary
The enzyme HENMT1 participates in piRNA biogenesis. These piRNAs are part of a larger ribonucleoprotein complex that includes Piwi proteins which are essential for transposon silencing in the germline. This complex ensures the epigenetic and post-transcriptional silencing of transposable elements consequently protecting genomic integrity. HENMT1's activity is fundamental for safeguarding the genome from potential aberrations caused by active transposons.
Pathways
HENMT1 plays a significant part in the piRNA pathway which is important for gene silencing in the germline. Through this pathway it contributes to the protection of the genome against transposable elements by working alongside proteins like Piwi. The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway also involves HENMT1 although indirectly as RNAi and piRNA pathways share some mechanistic similarities in their mode of silencing unwanted genetic elements.
