SIRT3 KO cell line available to order. KO validated by Western blot. Free of charge wild type control provided. Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, Homozygous: 1 bp deletion in exon 2.
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.
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 HeLa cell line (ab271142). 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.
Cryopreservation cell medium: Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Culture medium: DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS

5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x10E4 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 2x10E4 cells/cm2 is recommended.
• Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
• Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x10E4 cells/cm2.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

SIRT3 also known as Sirtuin 3 and mitochondrial sirtuin is a deacetylase with a mass of roughly 44 kDa. This protein is mostly found in the mitochondria where it regulates the acetylation state of various substrates. It plays an important role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis by modifying protein activity. SIRT3 is evolutionarily conserved and highly expressed in tissues with high energy demand like the heart liver and brown adipose tissue.
SIRT3 modulates energy homeostasis by deacetylating and regulating enzymes involved in metabolism. It is a part of the mitochondrial sirtuin family contributing to fatty acid oxidation and the antioxidant defense system. By targeting key metabolic enzymes SIRT3 directly impacts the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation processes. These functions highlight its role in maintaining energy efficiency and reducing reactive oxidative species.
SIRT3 participates in vital metabolic pathways such as the TCA cycle and the urea cycle. It interacts with other proteins like MnSOD and IDH2 to enhance mitochondrial function and overall cellular metabolism. This helps control the balance between energy production and consumption integrating signals from the AMPK and NAD+-dependent pathways to coordinate responses to changes in energy availability.
SIRT3 has implications in metabolic syndrome and cancer. Reduced SIRT3 activity is associated with increased susceptibility to metabolic disturbances like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Its deficiency affects the regulation of ROS and metabolic adaptation linking it to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. As it connects with proteins like HIF-1α in hypoxic conditions SIRT3 plays a role in cellular adaptation to stress influencing disease progression.
