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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Supplementary information

Wnt5a also known simply as Wnt-5a is a member of the Wnt family of signaling proteins. It plays a role in non-canonical Wnt signaling which means it does not involve the typical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. The protein has a molecular weight of approximately 42 kDa and is widely expressed in various tissues including the brain lungs and reproductive organs. Wnt5a influences several cellular processes such as cell movement polarity and organ development by binding to Frizzled family receptors and co-receptors like ROR1 and ROR2.
Biological function summary

Wnt5a drives critical processes in development and tissue homeostasis. It acts by guiding cell migration and establishing cell polarity. Wnt5a is not part of a single large complex but interacts with membrane receptors and co-receptors to exert its effects. This interaction initiates signaling cascades that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics which is essential in both embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance. Wnt5a's role is pivotal in maintaining cellular organization and function across different biological contexts.

Pathways

Wnt5a participates significantly in the planar cell polarity pathway and the Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway. In these pathways Wnt5a affects the activity of proteins such as Dishevelled and CaMKII to influence cellular functions independently from beta-catenin. These pathways regulate processes like tissue morphogenesis and cell orientation maintaining the spatial arrangement and structural integrity of tissues.

Wnt5a has been linked to cancer progression and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It interacts with proteins like ROR1 and ROR2 during these pathologies. In cancer abnormal Wnt5a signaling can lead to enhanced cell migration and invasion contributing to metastasis. In rheumatoid arthritis Wnt5a may drive inflammatory pathways and joint tissue damage. Researchers consider Wnt5a a target for therapeutic interventions in these conditions with ongoing studies focused on modulating its activity for disease management.
