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.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) also known as MT1-MMP is a membrane-bound enzyme involved in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix. This protease has a molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa and consists of various structural domains including a catalytic domain and a hinge region. MMP14 is expressed in many tissues including the stromal and cancer cells where it facilitates cell migration and tissue remodeling.
MMP14 influences extracellular matrix degradation enabling cellular invasion and migration. It exists as a part of macromolecular complexes at the cell surface interacting with other metalloproteinases. This interaction assists in the activation of other MMPs such as pro-MMP2 which further amplify matrix remodeling activities. The hinge region of MMP14 lends flexibility allowing it to effectively engage with substrate proteins.
MMP14 significantly affects cell signaling and tissue remodeling pathways. One critical pathway involves the activation of pro-MMP2 which is dependent on MMP14's proteolytic activity. MMP14 also plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis through its interaction with proteins such as TIMP-2. This relationship between MMP14 and other regulatory proteins emphasizes its functional integration within major biological networks.
High MMP14 levels correlate strongly with cancer progression especially in cancers such as breast cancer and melanoma. The ability of MMP14 to degrade the extracellular matrix facilitates tumor invasion and metastasis. Through its regulatory activities MMP14 connects with other proteins like VEGF influencing angiogenesis within tumor microenvironments. Additionally MMP14 involvement in arthritic conditions highlights its role in joint degradation processes worsening the disease through augmented cartilage breakdown.
