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.

Notes

Recommended control: Human wild-type HCT116 cell line (Human wild-type HCT116 cell line ab288559). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.

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. Based on cell count, seed cells in an appropriate cell culture 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.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. 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.
• A partial media change 24 hours prior to subculture may be helpful to encourage growth, if required.
• Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Activity summary

IMP3 also known as IGF2BP3 is an oncofetal protein belonging to the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein family. It has a molecular weight of around 65 kDa. IMP3 expresses in various tissues including embryonic tissues and several cancer types. In healthy adults the expression is minimal observed mostly in the testis placenta and some parts of the nervous system. It's significance in development and cancer makes it an important target for research.

Biological function summary

IMP3 plays a role in the regulation of mRNA stability localization and translation. It is a part of ribonucleoprotein complexes that facilitate these processes by binding to the 3' untranslated regions of target mRNAs. The protein influences the expression of genes involved in cell growth differentiation and migration. IMP3's ability to modulate mRNA fate contributes to cellular events essential for development and has implications in cancer progression.

Pathways

The involvement of IMP3 is significant in pathways like the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Within these pathways IMP3 modulates the activities of proteins such as IGF2 influencing cell proliferation and survival. Its participation in EMT is essential for processes like metastasis in cancer cells linking it to broader biological processes that govern cell movement and identity change.

Associated diseases and disorders

High IMP3 expression associates with various cancers including pancreatic and ovarian cancers. It has been connected to the progression and poor prognosis of these cancers. In pancreatic cancer IMP3 can interact with proteins like IGF2 enhancing tumor growth and metastasis. This connection makes IMP3 a potential biomarker for cancer diagnostics and therapeutic targeting.

    Western blot - Human IGF2BP3 knockout HCT116 cell line (ab289247)

    Western blot: Anti-IGF2BP3 antibody [EPR12022] (Anti-IMP3 antibody [EPR12022] ab177942) staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, Anti-IMP3 antibody [EPR12022] ab177942 was shown to bind specifically to IGF2BP3. A band was observed at 60-75 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in IGF2BP3 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and IGF2BP3 knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
