Western blot - Human NF1 (Neurofibromin) knockout HeLa cell line (AB264725)

Lanes 1-3 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab238142 observed at 319 kDa. Red - loading control ab7291 observed at 50 kDa.

ab238142 Recombinant Anti-NF1 antibody [EPR22989-68] was shown to specifically react with NFIB in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab264725 (knockout cell lysate ab258533) was used. Wild-type and NF1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab238142 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

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

Supplementary information

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

Neurofibromin is a protein that functions as a Ras GTPase-activating protein acting to promote the hydrolysis of Ras-bound GTP to GDP which inactivates Ras signaling. This regulatory function involves the suppression of excessive cell proliferation and differentiation. Alternate names for neurofibromin include NF1 or neurofibromin 1. The mass of neurofibromin is approximately 327 kDa. Neurofibromin is expressed widely across various tissues with notable expression in the nervous system and the brain.
Biological function summary

Neurofibromin regulates pathways involved in cell growth and development. It does not form part of a large multiprotein complex but interacts with microtubules and other signaling proteins to carry out its regulatory functions. Neurofibromin primarily affects pathways that manage cell cycle progression and it plays a critical role in inhibiting uncontrolled cell growth ensuring proper cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

Neurofibromin fits into the Ras-MAPK pathway where it controls the activity of Ras an important regulatory protein involved in signal transduction related to cell division and differentiation. Neurofibromin's action on Ras directly impacts the activation of the MAPK pathway which is important in mediating cellular responses to growth signals. This protein also interacts functionally with proteins like SOS1 another regulator of Ras emphasizing its role in fine-tuning signal cascades that ensure balanced cellular function.

Neurofibromin's dysregulation is most commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 a genetic disorder characterized by the development of benign tumors in the nervous system. The loss of neurofibromin function leads to unregulated Ras activity resulting in tumorigenesis. Additionally neurofibromin is implicated in certain sporadic cancers due to its role in controlling cell proliferation. In neurofibromatosis type 1 interactions between neurofibromin and proteins such as p53 a known tumor suppressor highlight its significance in disease pathways and tumor suppression mechanisms.
