Western blot - Human TUBB3 (beta III Tubulin) knockout HeLa cell line (AB255358)

Lanes 1- 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab215037 observed at 50 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.

ab215037 was shown to react with beta III tubulin in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255358 (knockout cell lysate ab263857) was used. Wild-type HeLa and TUBB3 knockout HeLa cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab215037 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) overnight at 4° at a 1 in 2000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively.

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

Beta III tubulin often referred to as βIII tubulin or beta-tubulin 3 is a microtubule element involved in the cellular cytoskeleton structure. This protein with a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa plays an important role in the development and maintenance of neuron structures. It is most prominently expressed in neurons within the central and peripheral nervous systems. In these cells beta III tubulin contributes to microtubule polymerization facilitating the formation of the intricate network necessary for cell shape intracellular transport and division.
Biological function summary

Beta III tubulin acts in stabilizing microtubules which are essential for proper neuronal function. It exists as part of the tubulin dimer complex partnering with alpha-tubulin to form the building blocks of microtubules. This particular isotype is often used as a marker for neuronal differentiation due to its specific expression pattern in neural tissues. Its regulation and expression levels are important for neurogenesis and maintaining neuronal plasticity.

Pathways

Beta III tubulin plays a role in neuron-specific intracellular transport and signaling pathways like the Rho GTPase and MAPK signaling pathways. These pathways are involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptotic processes. Relationships with other proteins such as kinesins and dyneins are important in these pathways influencing intracellular transport and signaling through binding and moving along the microtubule tracks created by beta-tubulin isotypes including beta III tubulin.

Abnormal beta III tubulin expression has been associated with cancer particularly in tumors originating from neuronal lineage such as glioblastomas. Overexpression or mutations can contribute to chemoresistance complicating treatment for certain types of cancer. Beta III tubulin is also linked to neurodevelopmental disorders as it affects proper neural network formation and stability. Its relationship with tumor protein p53 is noted in cancer pathways as p53 can influence beta III tubulin expression impacting cellular proliferation and apoptosis in oncogenic processes.
