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. Based on cell count, seed cells in an appropriate cell culture flask at a density of 4x105 cells/mL. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Cultures should be monitored daily.
5. THP-1 cells recover slowly from cryopreservation and therefore may not be ready for subculture for a number of days. Cells should be left as much as possible over this time and only subcultured when the cell density reaches 8x105 cells/mL.Small amounts of fresh media can be added until cell number/viability improves.

Subculture guidelines

  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.

  • Cells should be seeded at 2x105 - 3x105 cells/mL and subcultured when they have reached 8x105 cells/mL.

  • It is not recommended to allow the cell density to exceed 1x106 cells/mL.

Culture medium

RPMI + 10% FBS + 0.05 mM beta-mercaptoethanol

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Storage

Notes

Recommended control: Human wild-type THP-1 cell line (ab281894). 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.

  • Upon thawing make banks as soon as possible and use each bank within 10-20 passages
  • As cell line growth can vary please attempt culture for 2 weeks from revival of initial bank before contacting the technical team.
  • We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

    Biological function summary

    Syk plays a role in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the interior of the cell facilitating various cellular activities. It is a part of signal transduction complexes and functions in the regulation of immune cell activation differentiation and survival. It affects processes like Fc receptor signaling in macrophages and neutrophils impacting immune responses and inflammation. The phospho-Syk form influences the strength and duration of signaling affecting various cellular functions.

    Activity summary

    Spleen tyrosine kinase commonly known as Syk is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase with a mass of about 72 kDa. It serves as a critical signaling molecule in immune cells. Syk is expressed in various cell types such as B cells T cells monocytes and others involved in the immune response. It initiates signaling cascades by binding to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). Alternate forms include phosphorylated Syk often referred to as p-Syk which activates various downstream signaling pathways.

    Pathways

    Syk is significant in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and Fc receptor signaling pathway. Within these pathways Syk interacts with proteins like Lyn and Fyn which are other kinases involved in BCR signal transduction. Syk phosphorylation noted as p-Syk plays a part in activating downstream molecules such as phospholipase C gamma (PLCγ) to mediate cellular responses to external stimuli. The critical role of Syk in these pathways influences both adaptive and innate immune responses.

    Associated diseases and disorders

    Syk correlates with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and certain B-cell lymphomas. In rheumatoid arthritis aberrant Syk signaling contributes to the inflammation and joint destruction characteristic of the disease. Syk's role in B-cell antigen receptor signaling links it to B-cell lymphomas where dysregulation in signaling pathways leads to uncontrolled proliferation of malignant B cells. The involvement of Syk in both disease contexts suggests its potential as a therapeutic target along with pathways related to proteins like BLNK and PLCγ in these disorders.
