Western blot - Human RCN1 (RCN) knockout HEK-293T cell line (AB266098)

Lanes 1- 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab210404 observed at 45 kDa. Red - Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) observed at 50 kDa.

ab210404 was shown to react with RCN1 in wild-type HEK-293T cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266098 (knockout cell lysate ab258172) was used. Wild-type HEK-293T and RCN1 knockout HEK-293T cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab210404 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) overnight at 4° at a 1 in 2000 dilution and a 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

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

Supplementary information

RCN1 also known as reticulocalbin-1 or RCN is a calcium-binding protein located in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It belongs to the CREC family of proteins which are characterized by their EF-hand motifs that mediate calcium binding. RCN1 has a molecular mass of around 37 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues including the pancreas heart and brain suggesting its involvement in diverse cellular functions. Within the ER RCN1 interacts with other proteins aiding in their proper folding and assembly.
Biological function summary

RCN1 plays a role in cellular calcium homeostasis and may influence processes such as protein folding and trafficking. It is not known to be a part of a larger complex but it interacts with other ER-resident proteins. Maintaining calcium levels is important within the ER where RCN1 helps buffer calcium concentrations. This function supports processes that are sensitive to calcium fluctuations such as signal transduction and stress responses.

Pathways

The role of RCN1 in cellular mechanisms connects it to important pathways like the calcium signaling pathway and the unfolded protein response pathway. In the calcium signaling pathway RCN1 aids in regulating calcium levels within the ER affecting downstream signaling events. Meanwhile in the unfolded protein response pathway RCN1 participates by ensuring the proper folding of proteins particularly during times of stress when misfolded proteins accumulate. RCN1's interaction with calumenin another calcium-binding protein highlights its involvement in these pathways.

RCN1 has associations with cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. In cardiovascular disease altered expression of RCN1 may impact calcium signaling and lead to dysfunction in heart cells. Similarly in certain cancers changes in RCN1 expression levels could affect cellular proliferation via calcium-regulated pathways. The interaction between RCN1 and calreticulin a multifunctional protein involved in calcium homeostasis and immune response further connects RCN1's influence on disease progression.
