Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Human IRS2 knockout HEK-293 cell line (AB264013)

ab134101 staining IRS2 in wild-type HEK-293 cells (top panel) and IRS2 knockout HEK-293 cells (ab264013) (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab134101 at 1/500 and ab7291 (Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin) at 1/1000 dilution overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150120) at 2 μg/ml (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

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.

Supplementary information

Insulin Receptor Substrate 2 (IRS2) is an important cytoplasmic adaptor protein involved in insulin signaling. Alternate names for IRS2 include IRS-2 or HEK293 products IRS2. It plays a role in transducing signals from the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase to downstream effectors. IRS2 has a molecular mass of approximately 180 kDa. Expression of IRS2 occurs in many tissues with significant presence in liver and skeletal muscle indicating its broad physiological role.
Biological function summary

IRS2 acts in signal transduction and is a part of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor signaling pathways. IRS2 does not function alone but interacts with other molecules to propagate signals that regulate cellular processes. It is essential for glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism playing a critical role in maintaining energy balance within the organism. IRS2 also mediates other biological processes like cell growth and differentiation.

Pathways

With regards to pathways IRS2 is involved in the insulin signaling and mTOR pathways. It serves as an important junction between metabolic and growth-promoting signals. Activation of IRS2 through insulin receptors leads to downstream signaling involving PI3K and Akt essential for mediating metabolic actions of insulin. It also interacts with mTOR a central protein in cell growth regulation. These pathways illustrate the integration of IRS2 in broader cellular responses to growth signals and energy availability.

IRS2 is linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. Dysregulation of IRS2-mediated signaling can contribute to insulin resistance a characteristic feature of type 2 diabetes. In such disorders IRS2 signaling may be impaired or altered affecting its interaction with proteins like PI3K and Akt which are also implicated in these conditions. Furthermore chronic imbalance in IRS2 activity may contribute to obesity as it affects key metabolic pathways that regulate fat storage and energy expenditure.
