Western blot - Human RICTOR knockout A549 cell line (AB277866)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-RICTOR antibody [EPR22008] staining at 1/1000 dilution shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution shown in red. In Western blot ab219950 was shown to bind specifically to RICTOR. A band was observed at 190 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in RICTOR knockout cell line ab277866 (knockout cell lysate ab288315). To generate this image wild-type and RICTOR knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

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.

Supplementary information

RICTOR (Rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR) is an important component of the mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) distinguished by its ability to interact with mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin). RICTOR possesses a molecular mass of approximately 192 kDa. You can find RICTOR widely expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and skeletal muscle. Researchers also refer to it as AVO3.
Biological function summary

The protein plays a significant role in cellular growth proliferation and survival. RICTOR forms part of the mTORC2 complex which is important for Akt/PKB phosphorylation. Activation of mTORC2 by RICTOR regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking. This involvement affects the control of cell metabolism and immune responses.

Pathways

RICTOR integrates into the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway influencing cell growth and survival in response to nutrients and growth factors. RICTOR as part of mTORC2 also interacts with proteins such as Sin1 and mLST8 helping regulate PKB/Akt phosphorylation at Ser473. This interaction links RICTOR's function to the insulin signaling pathway which controls aspects of glucose metabolism.

The dysregulation of RICTOR plays a role in cancer progression and metabolic disorders. Alterations in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway can lead to the development of various cancers with RICTOR contributing to tumorigenesis through Akt activation. Additionally aberrant RICTOR expression affects insulin signaling therefore connecting it to diabetes. Through these pathways and conditions RICTOR's interaction with proteins such as mTOR illustrates its relevance in disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.
