ab211225 staining PODXL in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab211225 at 1/50 dilution (pseudocolored in green) and ab195884, Rat monoclonal to Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 647), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

Supplementary information

PODXL also known as podocalyxin-like protein is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein possessing a mass of approximately 165 kDa. This protein is a member of the CD34 family and exhibits expression primarily on the apical surface of podocytes in the kidney most hematopoietic stem cells and certain cancer cell types. In its mechanical role PODXL mainly functions in cell adhesion and the maintenance of cell shape through its cytoplasmic domain that connects with the cytoskeleton. The sialylated and sulfated glycosaminoglycan chains on the extracellular domain contribute to its charge and barrier functions.
Biological function summary

The primary function of podocalyxin-like protein revolves around maintaining the filtration barrier in the kidney by repelling negatively charged molecules. It forms part of the slit diaphragm complex along with proteins like nephrin which provides the structural support necessary for its function. PODXL also plays roles in the development of the vascular system and hematopoietic cell lineage contributing to cellular processes like migration and proliferation. Its interaction with the actin cytoskeleton ensures proper localization and function within these biological contexts.

Pathways

There are important connections between podocalyxin-like protein and the Ras signaling pathway involved in cell growth and adhesion processes. It can also engage in integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathways facilitating processes such as cell signaling and migration. Through these pathways it associates with proteins like ezrin which links it to the cytoskeleton and contributes to its role in cell morphology and motility.

Altered PODXL expression shows relevance in aggressive forms of cancer including renal cell carcinoma and breast cancer. The protein associates with different markers of poor prognosis making it of interest in cancer research. Furthermore in kidney diseases such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis abnormal PODXL expression affects the slit diaphragm's function leading to proteinuria. Its interaction with nephrin can highlight disrupted cellular architecture typical of these disease states.

Target data

Involved in the regulation of both adhesion and cell morphology and cancer progression. Functions as an anti-adhesive molecule that maintains an open filtration pathway between neighboring foot processes in the podocyte by charge repulsion. Acts as a pro-adhesive molecule, enhancing the adherence of cells to immobilized ligands, increasing the rate of migration and cell-cell contacts in an integrin-dependent manner. Induces the formation of apical actin-dependent microvilli. Involved in the formation of a preapical plasma membrane subdomain to set up initial epithelial polarization and the apical lumen formation during renal tubulogenesis. Plays a role in cancer development and aggressiveness by inducing cell migration and invasion through its interaction with the actin-binding protein EZR. Affects EZR-dependent signaling events, leading to increased activities of the MAPK and PI3K pathways in cancer cells.
