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

Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) also known as VKOR is an enzyme that plays an important role in the vitamin K cycle. This enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 18 kDa. VKORC1 helps in reducing vitamin K 23-epoxide to its active hydroquinone form which is necessary for the gamma-carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent proteins. These proteins are mainly responsible for blood coagulation. VKORC1 expression is high in the liver where much of the synthesis of clotting factors occurs.
Biological function summary

VKORC1 is integral to the vitamin K cycle an essential process for activating vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. It operates within a complex with its protein partner VKORC1-like 1 (VKORC1L1). This partnership is important for maintaining effective blood coagulation. The active form of vitamin K produced by VKORC1 ensures the activity of several blood clotting factors especially factors II VII IX and X. Without proper function of VKORC1 these factors would remain inactive.

Pathways

The vitamin K cycle is where VKORC1 makes a significant impact and this cycle is vital for blood coagulation processes. Specifically VKORC1 reduces vitamin K epoxide working closely with gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) another enzyme that modifies the glutamic acid residues on clotting factors. This modification is important for their proper functioning within the coagulation cascade. The interplay between VKORC1 and GGCX directly connects to the synthesis of active blood coagulation proteins.

VKORC1 mutations are notably linked to warfarin resistance and susceptibility to bleeding disorders. Warfarin is an anticoagulant that targets VKORC1 to prevent clot formation and variations in this protein can lead to altered drug response. Furthermore any dysfunction in VKORC1 may result in vitamin K epoxide reductase deficiency affecting coagulation and leading to increased bleeding risk. Mutations could also affect partner proteins like coagulation factors II and VII leading to disorders related to abnormal blood clotting processes.
