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

NSUN2 also known as SAKI is a methyltransferase enzyme that adds a methyl group to cytosine within nucleic acids most often in RNA. It has a molecular mass of about 83 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in different tissues but shows high expression levels in the brain and reproductive organs. NSUN2 modifies RNA molecules impacting their function and stability which is essential in various cellular processes.
Biological function summary

NSUN2 participates in RNA metabolism and processing. By introducing m5C (5-methylcytosine) modifications to RNA NSUN2 influences RNA stability transport and translation. This protein is a part of larger complexes that regulate diverse cellular functions and maintains transcriptome integrity. Alterations in NSUN2 activity can affect cellular proliferation and differentiation highlighting its role in maintaining normal cell function.

Pathways

NSUN2 plays an integral role in the epitranscriptomic regulation pathway in particular RNA modification and gene expression regulation pathways. It acts alongside proteins like TRMT2A and TRMT61A which are involved in similar processes of RNA methylation and modification. These pathways help maintain a balance in gene expression profiles necessary for proper cellular function and response to external signals.

Mutations or dysfunctions in NSUN2 are associated with mental retardation and cancer. In neurodevelopmental disorders altered NSUN2 activity disrupts normal brain development potentially linking it with proteins like FTSJ1 another RNA methyltransferase. Similarly in cancer NSUN2 dysregulation leads to aberrant cell proliferation and tumorigenesis often in connection with oncogenic pathways and other modified proteins.
