Western blot - Human SNAI1 (SNAIL) knockout HeLa cell line (AB265963)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-SNAIL antibody [EPR21043] staining at 1/500 dilution shown in green; loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A]) staining at 1/20000 dilution shown in red. In Western blot ab216347 was shown to bind specifically to SNAIL. A band was observed at 33 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in SNAI1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab265963 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab257692). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 33 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of SNAIL. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image wild-type and SNAI1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited HeLa 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.

Product details

Recommended control: Human wild-type HeLa cell line (ab255928). 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.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Western blot data indicates that the CRISPR gene edit may have resulted in a truncation of the protein of interest. Please see data images.

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

SNAIL also known as SNAI1 is a zinc finger transcription factor involved in the regulation of cellular processes. The SNAIL protein has a mass of approximately 29 kDa and is robustly expressed in various tissues including embryonic tissues and cancerous cells. The protein functions as a repressor of transcription influencing the expression of genes associated with cellular adhesion and movement. Due to its integral role SNAIL is involved in complex regulatory networks that control cell fate and differentiation.
Biological function summary

SNAIL contributes to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) a process critical for embryogenesis and tumor progression. It forms a part of a complex network of transcription factors that regulate cell-cell adhesion molecules like E-cadherin. SNAIL's ability to bind to specific DNA sequences allows it to suppress or activate the transcription of target genes promoting cellular metamorphosis and enabling cells to acquire motility and invade other tissues.

Pathways

SNAIL operates significantly within the TGF-beta and Wnt signaling pathways. The TGF-beta pathway enhances the expression of SNAIL which in turn represses genes that maintain the epithelial phenotype. The Wnt pathway also modulates SNAIL activity connecting it with proteins such as beta-catenin to drive EMT. These pathways highlight SNAIL's involvement in sophisticated signaling pathways that determine cell behavior adaptation and tissue remodeling.

Overexpression of SNAIL associates with cancer progression particularly in metastasis due to its role in EMT. It connects with proteins like Slug and ZEB1 in this context enhancing the invasive capabilities of cancer cells. Moreover SNAIL is implicated in fibrotic diseases where excessive tissue scarring occurs. In such conditions TGF-beta-mediated activation of SNAIL contributes to abnormal tissue remodeling and fibrosis. The involvement of SNAIL in these diseases marks it as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.
