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.

  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.

Cryopreservation medium

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

Notes

Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.

Recommended control: Human wild-type A549 cell line (Human wild-type A549 cell line ab288558). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Activity summary

NRP2 also known as Neuropilin-2 is a receptor protein involved in developmental processes including axon guidance and angiogenesis. The molecular mass of NRP2 is approximately 120 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues such as the nervous system and the vascular system but its expression can also be found in certain immune cells. NRP2 plays an important role in cellular signaling by binding to semaphorins and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF).

Biological function summary

NRP2 influences several processes including axonal guidance and the formation of blood vessels. It acts as a co-receptor by forming complexes with other proteins to mediate cellular responses. This role in signaling helps guide neuron growth and regulates vascular development. The NRP2-associated complexes often modulate responses to external signals contributing to the precise control of network formation in tissues.

Pathways

NRP2 plays a significant role in the VEGF signaling pathway and the semaphorin signaling pathway. These pathways are essential for cell growth migration and differentiation. NRP2 works closely with VEGF receptors like VEGFR2 to promote angiogenic responses. It also interacts with semaphorin family proteins to guide neuronal development. Together these pathways ensure the proper formation and function of neural and vascular networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

NRP2 is connected to cancer progression and cardiovascular diseases. Altered expression of NRP2 has been observed in various cancer types where it may contribute to tumor growth and metastasis. In these diseases NRP2's interaction with its partners such as VEGFR2 becomes dysregulated affecting normal cellular processes. Cardiovascular conditions can also arise from issues in NRP2-related signaling where the normal function of blood vessel formation is compromised.
