Western blot - Human TYMP (Thymidine Phosphorylase) knockout HeLa cell line (AB265138)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-TYMP antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, the antibody was shown to bind specifically to TYMP. A band was observed at 50 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TYMP knockout cell line ab265138 (knockout cell lysate ab257774). To generate this image, wild-type and TYMP knockout 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 °C. 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.

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.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Thymidine phosphorylase also known as platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) acts mechanically to catalyze the reversible phosphorolysis of thymidine into thymine and 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose-1-phosphate. With a mass of approximately 44 kDa this enzyme is present in various tissues including blood vessels and macrophages. Its expression tends to be higher in tumor tissues which suggests a specific role in cancer biology.
Biological function summary

The enzyme participates in pyrimidine nucleoside metabolism providing an alternate route for thymidine catabolism. It is not part of a larger complex functioning independently to promote angiogenesis. Thymidine phosphorylase enhances the degradation of extracellular thymidine which can positively impact nucleotide balance within cells aiding DNA synthesis and repair.

Pathways

Thymidine phosphorylase operates significantly within the nucleotide salvage pathways. It is essential for clarifying thymidine availability for DNA synthesis. The enzyme links with enzymes like dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase in pyrimidine degradation playing a critical role in maintaining cellular nucleotide homeostasis.

Altered activity of thymidine phosphorylase correlates with cancer and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE). In tumors increased levels of this enzyme facilitate angiogenesis contributing to tumor growth and metastasis. In MNGIE mutations in this enzyme lead to imbalances in nucleotides causing mitochondrial dysfunction. The enzyme's dysregulation connects to angiogenesis-related proteins like VEGF in cancer highlighting potential therapeutic targets.
