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

DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

NASP also known as Nuclear Autoantigenic Sperm Protein functions as a histone chaperone. With a molecular mass of approximately 75 kDa NASP assists in the proper assembly and disassembly of nucleosome structures by binding to histones H1 and H2A-H2B. This protein mainly expresses in rapidly dividing tissues especially in the testes but also presents in the thymus and bone marrow. NASP maintains the supply of free histones aiding in DNA replication and transcription processes.
Biological function summary

NASP plays an essential role in chromatin organization and dynamics during the cell cycle. As part of the histone transport complex it stabilizes histones and prevents their aggregation. NASP facilitates proper chromatin assembly necessary for DNA packaging and regulation of gene expression. This activity ensures the accurate transmission of genetic information during cell division impacting processes essential for cell proliferation and function.

Pathways

NASP operates within the chromatin assembly and nucleosome remodeling pathways. It coordinates with other chaperones like NAP1 in chromatin assembly factor-1 (CAF-1) complex. These pathways are integral to DNA replication and repair directly linking NASP to cellular processes critical for maintaining genome integrity. The interaction with importin beta further indicates NASP's role in nuclear import pathways emphasizing its involvement in both nuclear organization and cellular regulation.

NASP associates with cancer and infertility. The aberrant expression of NASP is observed in various tumors implying its contribution to tumorigenesis and proliferation. Its association with other histone chaperones such as ASF1 highlights its potential role in oncogenic pathways. Furthermore alterations in NASP expression affect sperm development linking it to male infertility and emphasizing its necessity in reproductive biology.
