Western blot - Human RHOA knockout HEK-293T cell line (AB266592)

Lanes 1- 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab187027 observed at 21 kDa. Red - Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) observed at 50 kDa.

ab187027 was shown to react with RhoA in wild-type HEK-293T cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266592 (knockout cell lysate ab257637) was used. Wild-type HEK-293T and RHOA 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. ab187027 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) overnight at 4° at a 1 in 5000 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

Supplementary information

RhoA also known as Ras homolog family member A is a small signaling GTPase. It weighs approximately 21 kDa. This protein is a part of the Rho family which includes other members like RhoB and RhoC. RhoA is widely expressed in various tissues including the brain kidney liver and lungs. Mechanically RhoA functions as a molecular switch cycling between an active GTP-bound state and an inactive GDP-bound state. This activity regulates the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and influences cell shape attachment and motility.
Biological function summary

The role of RhoA extends to cell proliferation and differentiation. It is a component of the Rho-GTPase cycle interacting with numerous effectors to transmit signals from the cell membrane to the actin cytoskeleton. RhoA influences the assembly of stress fibers and focal adhesions. It plays a part in cellular adhesion and migration making it essential for development and wound healing processes. As a central player in these activities RhoA affects several cellular responses to external stimuli.

Pathways

Research places RhoA prominently in the regulation of the Rho-ROCK (Rho-associated protein kinase) pathway and the planar cell polarity pathway. The Rho-ROCK pathway contributes to cytoskeletal dynamics and cell contractility while the planar cell polarity pathway influences tissue architecture during embryonic development. RhoA interacts with G17A in these pathways coordinating activities such as smooth muscle contraction and neuronal growth. These interactions also involve cross-talk with other signals linked to GTPases like Rac1 and Cdc42.

RhoA has connections to cancer progression and hypertension. In cancer RhoA regulates actin dynamics influencing tumor cell migration and invasion. It forms interactions with proteins such as p53 affecting apoptotic pathways and tumor suppression. In hypertension RhoA's role in smooth muscle contraction affects blood vessel tension and blood pressure regulation. Abnormal activity in the Rho-ROCK pathway contributes to these disorders highlighting the significance of RhoA in disease mechanisms.
