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

WDR6 also known as WD Repeat Domain 6 is a protein with a mass of approximately 115 kDa. This protein contains multiple WD40 repeats which facilitate protein-protein interactions. WDR6 is widely expressed across various human tissues including brain skeletal muscle heart and testis. Its presence in multiple tissues suggests a critical role in cellular functions.
Biological function summary

WDR6 is involved in regulatory systems that control cell growth and division playing a role in translational regulation. WDR6 does not function alone; it interacts with specific complexes to modulate the ribosomal protein synthesis process. It interacts with nutrient-sensing pathways and may work with proteins like RPS6 leading to changes in protein translation and cell growth regulatory mechanisms.

Pathways

Scientists see WDR6 as part of the mTOR signaling pathway which is important for controlling cell growth and proliferation. WDR6's function associates it with ribosomes and components involved in protein synthesis regulation such as S6K1 and 4EBP1. These interactions enable WDR6 to assist in integrating signals from nutrient and energy status to regulate cell growth.

Researchers have observed a connection between WDR6 and cancer owing to its role in cell growth control. Dysregulation of the mTOR pathway with which WDR6 is involved often leads to abnormal cell proliferation seen in some cancers. Additionally variations in WDR6 expression and function may relate to neurodegenerative diseases where proteins like mTORC1 and p70S6K could be involved in pathways affecting neuronal survival and function.
