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.

MPRIP also known as Myosin Phosphatase Rho Interacting Protein or p116Rip is an important player in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. This protein weighs approximately 116 kDa and is expressed in a variety of tissues including the brain heart and testis. It interacts with the regulatory subunit of myosin phosphatase influencing actin filament dynamics by modulating the interaction between actin and myosin.
MPRIP serves a critical role in the modulation of actin cytoskeleton rearrangement. It is part of a multi-protein complex that includes myosin phosphatase which is essential for dephosphorylation of myosin light chains. By binding directly to the myosin phosphatase complex MPRIP ensures proper regulation of actin-myosin interactions which are integral to cellular processes such as migration division and shape maintenance.
MPRIP plays an important role within the RhoA signaling pathway and the regulation of cytoskeletal rearrangements. It facilitates the interaction between RhoA and myosin phosphatase leading to the deactivation of contractility. Another important protein involved is ROCK as MPRIP counteracts ROCK-induced phosphorylation of myosin light chain therefore influencing cell contractility and motility.
MPRIP dysregulation has implications in cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Its connection with proteins like ROCK and RhoA highlights its role in these pathologies. In cardiovascular diseases improper MPRIP function can lead to aberrant vascular smooth muscle contraction while in cancer altered MPRIP activity may contribute to changes in cell migration and invasion affecting cancer progression and metastasis.
