Western blot - Human MAP2K2 knockout HCT116 cell line (AB286599)

Western blot : Anti-MAP2K2 antibody [Y78] (ab32517) staining at 1/10000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab32517 was shown to bind specifically to MAP2K2. A band was observed at 44 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MAP2K2 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and MAP2K2 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 3 % 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.

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

Supplementary information

MEK2 or MAP2K2 is a protein kinase with a mass of approximately 44 kDa. This kinase part of the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway primarily functions mechanically as a dual-specificity protein kinase. It phosphorylates both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues on its substrate proteins. MEK2 is largely expressed in various tissues including the brain and heart. It serves an important role in relaying extracellular signals within cells leading to diverse cellular responses.
Biological function summary

MEK2 participates in signal transduction pathways mediating cell division differentiation and apoptosis. As a part of the MAPK signaling cascade it operates downstream of RAS and RAF proteins. MEK2 forms a complex with MEK1 another closely related kinase to ensure proper signal relay. This complex plays a significant role in the regulation of cellular responses to growth signals and stress.

Pathways

MEK2 is intricately connected to the ERK1/2 pathway one of the key pathways it is involved in. ERK1/2 (Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinases) further transmits signals to the cell's nuclear components regulating gene expression critically. MEK2 directly phosphorylates and activates ERK1 and ERK2 facilitating their role in transcription cell cycle regulation and maintenance of cell integrity. The interaction of MEK2 with proteins like BRAF and CRAF along the MAPK pathway amplifies the signal transduction for various growth factors and hormones.

MEK2 has a notable association with cancer particularly melanoma and colorectal cancer. It often becomes aberrantly activated leading to unregulated cell proliferation. The connection of MEK2 to ERK1/2 proteins in these malignancies makes it a potential therapeutic target. Furthermore MEK2 mutations can contribute to Noonan syndrome a disorder that affects multiple body systems marking its relationship with genetic abnormalities and developmental issues. Researchers have been investigating MEK inhibitors to target these disorders highlighting the importance of understanding MEK2's role in disease contexts.
