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

Supplementary information

TMEM208 also known as transmembrane protein 208 plays a role in cellular processes involving the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. With an estimated molecular weight of around 24 kDa scientist can find TMEM208 predominantly expressed in human tissues particularly in the heart and skeletal muscle. As a multi-pass membrane protein TMEM208 establishes the cell organelles' communication ensuring intracellular stability and proper functioning of cellular processes.
Biological function summary

The protein serves an essential function in the formation and maintenance of autophagic vesicles. It operates as a component of the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) participating in cargo sorting and transport. TMEM208's role in vesicle nucleation is important for autophagy a process where cells remove unnecessary or dysfunctional components maintaining cellular homeostasis. This action indirectly supports cellular adaptation to stress.

Pathways

TMEM208 integrates into intracellular trafficking and autophagy pathways working alongside proteins such as LC3 and ATG-related proteins. Through its involvement in vesicular transport TMEM208 collaborates in the lysosomal degradation pathway a process important for recycling cellular materials. TMEM208's interaction with LC3 connects it to the macroautophagy pathway allowing the cell to respond effectively to nutrient deprivation or other cellular stressors.

TMEM208 associates with pathologies linked to improper autophagic processes and cellular stress responses including neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and possibly myopathies. Researchers note its association with proteins such as p62 which accumulates when autophagy is disrupted indicating TMEM208's potential role in disease progression. Understanding TMEM208's function might lead to identifying therapeutic targets for these conditions.
