Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-Ezrin antibody [3C12] (AB4069)

IHC image of ab4069 staining in 10% formaldehyde fixed frozen tissue section of human placenta.

Non-specific protein-protein interactions were blocked using TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 3% (w/v) BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The section was then incubated with ab4069 (1μg/ml dilution) in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 3% (w/v) BSA overnight at +4°C. The section was then incubated with ab150119 (Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 647)) and DAPI for 1 hour at room temperature.

The DAPI only control (no antibody) inset shows no autofluorescence, demonstrating that any Alexa Fluor® 647 signal is derived directly from bound ab4069.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antibody concentrations and incubation times.

Overlay histogram showing SH-SY5Y cells stained with ab4069 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab4069, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in SH-SY5Y cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Ezrin antibody [3C12] (AB4069)

IHC image of Ezrin staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human lung performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab4069, 0.025ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Essential roles of TRPV6 in FSS-induced microvilli formation.(a) Apical localization of ezrin in the FSS-exposed BeWo cells. Cells were cultured overnight under static conditions, and then cultured with or without medium perfusion (5 μl min−1) for 1 h. Ezrin (green) localization was observed by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. Nuclei were counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; blue). Serial x–y focal planes (z-sections, 0.88 μm interval in ‘Static', 0.90 μm in ‘Flow') and the stacked images are shown. Scale bar, 20 μm. (b) Time-course phosphorylation of Ezrin (pThr567) and Akt (pSer473) in response to FSS. BeWo cells were cultured overnight under static conditions and exposed to FSS (5 μl min−1) for the indicated times. The cells were lysed, and protein expression level or phosphorylation was analysed by immunoblot. (c) Inhibition of Akt phosphorylation by BAPTA-AM. Gö6793 (100 nM), BAPTA-AM (10 μM) or buffer control (DMSO) was added to the perfusing medium. (d) Involvement of TRPV6 in the FSS-induced Ezrin phosphorylation. BeWo cells transfected with siRNA were seeded in the chamber area of the device and cultured overnight under static conditions before exposure to FSS for 1 h. β-Actin was used as a loading control. Note that the TRPV6 siRNA oligo (TRPV6 si-#1 or #2), as well as the siRNA pool, shows similar inhibitory effects on the FSS-induced phosphorylation of Ezrin and Akt. (e) Impaired Ezrin localization in the TRPV6 knockdown cells. Ezrin localization in the TRPV6 knockdown cells was analysed by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. Note that TRPV6 knockdown cells exposed to FSS (5 μl min−1) for 1 h failed to show the microvillous localization pattern of Ezrin as observed in the control siRNA cells under FSS. Scale bar, 20 μm.

Supplementary information

Ezrin also known as cytovillin or villin-2 is a protein belonging to the ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family. It is approximately 81 kDa in molecular weight. Ezrin plays a critical role in linking the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. This interaction occurs through its ability to bind to membrane proteins and phospholipids facilitating structural support and signal transduction. Ezrin is widely expressed in epithelial tissues but it also occurs in other cell types such as lymphocytes and osteoclasts.
Biological function summary

Ezrin functions as a membrane-microfilament linker and is essential for maintaining cell shape adhesion and motility. It is an integral component of many cellular structures including microvilli and ruffles. Ezrin’s activity often involves forming complexes with other proteins such as EBP50 and F-actin which are fundamental for its role in cellular morphogenesis. These interactions allow ezrin to regulate membrane surface structure and cell surface organization.

Pathways

Ezrin participates in various signaling pathways that are essential for cell migration and invasion. One key pathway is the Rho family of GTPases which regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Ezrin interacts with proteins like Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) that influence cell contraction and motility. Additionally ezrin is involved in the MAPK/ERK pathway which influences cell growth and survival by interacting with other signaling molecules.

Ezrin shows significant relevance to cancer progression and metastasis particularly in conditions like osteosarcoma. Ezrin overexpression correlates with increased metastatic potential and poor clinical outcomes. It also has implications in allergic diseases due to its role in immune cell function. In these contexts ezrin interacts with SRC family kinases which are important for transmitting signals from cell-surface receptors to downstream pathways influencing disease development and progression.
