Western blot - Human SPAST (Spastin) knockout HEK-293T cell line (AB267238)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Spastin antibody [Sp 3G11/1] staining at 1/500 dilution shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution shown in red. In Western blot ab31850 was shown to bind specifically to Spastin. A band was observed at 55 kDa in wild-type HEK-293T cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in SPAST knockout cell line ab267238 (knockout cell lysate ab258698). To generate this image wild-type and SPAST knockout HEK-293T 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-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216777) at 1/20000 dilution.

ab31850 was shown to react with SPAST in wild-type HEK293T cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in SPAST knockout cell line ab267238 (SPAST knockout cell lysate ab258698). Wild-type HEK293T and SPAST knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBST for 1 hr before incubation with ab31850 overnight at 4 ° at a 1/500 dilution. Blots were incubated with goat anti-rabbit HRP secondary antibodies at 0.2μg/mL 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

Spastin also known as SPG4 is a microtubule-severing ATPase that plays an important role in cellular mechanics by cutting microtubules in cells. It weighs approximately 68 kDa and is present mainly in neural tissue but can also be found in other tissues. The protein's localization includes the cytoplasm and is associated with centrosomes and subcellular regions with dense microtubule networks.
Biological function summary

Spastin participates in regulating microtubule dynamics. It plays a critical role in axonal growth and maintenance by modulating microtubule lengths and branching. Spastin does not function alone; it forms part of the AAA protein family functioning in significant processes like neurogenesis and neural maintenance. Its activity affects neural cell structure and transport by influencing cytoskeletal rearrangement.

Pathways

Any disturbances in Spastin function can impact the microtubule dynamics pathway and the axonal transport pathway. Spastin interacts closely with proteins such as Tubulin and Katanin which are also involved in microtubule severing and organization. Proper Spastin function is necessary to maintain intracellular transport and signal transduction critical for neural cell health and function.

Alterations in Spastin activity lead to neurodegenerative conditions like Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). This disorder often relates to mutations in the SPG4 gene which encodes Spastin affecting motor neuron functions. In HSP disrupted Spastin function correlates with deficiencies in proteins such as Tubulin exacerbating neuroaxonal deficits and influencing disease progression.
