Western blot - Anti-Lamin A + Lamin C antibody [4C11] (AB238303)

ab238303 was shown to specifically react with Lamin A + C (LMNA) in wild type HAP1 cells. No band was observed when Lamin A + C (LMNA) knockout samples were used. Wild-type and Lamin A + C (LMNA) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab238303 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1ug/ml concentration and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Lamin A + Lamin C antibody [4C11] (AB238303)

IHC image of Lamin A + C staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human skin* 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 (pH 6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab238303, 0.1 μg/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 hematoxylin 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.

Supplementary information

Lamin A and Lamin C also known as lamin A/C are proteins encoded by the LMNA gene. These proteins are key components of the nuclear envelope where they provide structural support and maintain the shape of the nucleus. The lamin A/C molecule has a molecular weight of approximately 60-70 kDa. Expression of lamin A and lamin C occurs predominantly in differentiated cells where these proteins integrate into the nuclear lamina alongside other lamin molecules like lamin B. Lamin A alone sometimes referred to by designations like 4C11 plays a significant role in mechanical support at a molecular level.
Biological function summary

Lamin A/C proteins play a role in maintaining nuclear stability chromosome organization and gene regulation. They are part of a complex network within the nuclear lamina that includes interactions with proteins and DNA. Lamin A with a molecular weight distinct from other lamins participates in assembling this supportive matrix and contributes to DNA maintenance and repair processes. Their interaction with chromatin and gene expression regulation emphasizes their influence on important cellular functions.

Pathways

Lamin A/C proteins engage in the mechanosensory signaling and DNA damage response pathways. They interact with pathways involving the nuclear envelope structure and have connections to proteins like emerin and nuclear actin. Lamin A's role in these pathways supports its involvement in responding to mechanical stress and preserving genomic integrity highlighting its integration with these cellular processes.

Mutations in lamin A/C are linked to disorders such as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome and Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy. These conditions highlight the importance of lamin A/C in cellular stability and nuclear integrity. Proteins such as emerin often relate to lamin A/C in these diseases as disruptions to their interactions can lead to compromised nuclear function and disease phenotypes.

Target data

Lamin-A/C. Lamins are intermediate filament proteins that assemble into a filamentous meshwork, and which constitute the major components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane (PubMed : 10080180, PubMed : 10580070, PubMed : 10587585, PubMed : 10814726, PubMed : 11799477, PubMed : 12075506, PubMed : 12927431, PubMed : 15317753, PubMed : 18551513, PubMed : 18611980, PubMed : 2188730, PubMed : 22431096, PubMed : 2344612, PubMed : 23666920, PubMed : 24741066, PubMed : 31434876, PubMed : 31548606, PubMed : 37788673, PubMed : 37832547). Lamins provide a framework for the nuclear envelope, bridging the nuclear envelope and chromatin, thereby playing an important role in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, nuclear membrane and telomere dynamics (PubMed : 10080180, PubMed : 10580070, PubMed : 10587585, PubMed : 10814726, PubMed : 11799477, PubMed : 12075506, PubMed : 12927431, PubMed : 15317753, PubMed : 18551513, PubMed : 18611980, PubMed : 22431096, PubMed : 23666920, PubMed : 24741066, PubMed : 31548606, PubMed : 37788673, PubMed : 37832547). Lamin A and C also regulate matrix stiffness by conferring nuclear mechanical properties (PubMed : 23990565, PubMed : 25127216). The structural integrity of the lamina is strictly controlled by the cell cycle, as seen by the disintegration and formation of the nuclear envelope in prophase and telophase, respectively (PubMed : 2188730, PubMed : 2344612). Lamin A and C are present in equal amounts in the lamina of mammals (PubMed : 10080180, PubMed : 10580070, PubMed : 10587585, PubMed : 10814726, PubMed : 11799477, PubMed : 12075506, PubMed : 12927431, PubMed : 15317753, PubMed : 18551513, PubMed : 18611980, PubMed : 22431096, PubMed : 23666920, PubMed : 31548606). Also involved in DNA repair : recruited by DNA repair proteins XRCC4 and IFFO1 to the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to prevent chromosome translocation by immobilizing broken DNA ends (PubMed : 31548606). Required for normal development of peripheral nervous system and skeletal muscle and for muscle satellite cell proliferation (PubMed : 10080180, PubMed : 10814726, PubMed : 11799477, PubMed : 18551513, PubMed : 22431096). Required for osteoblastogenesis and bone formation (PubMed : 12075506, PubMed : 15317753, PubMed : 18611980). Also prevents fat infiltration of muscle and bone marrow, helping to maintain the volume and strength of skeletal muscle and bone (PubMed : 10587585). Required for cardiac homeostasis (PubMed : 10580070, PubMed : 12927431, PubMed : 18611980, PubMed : 23666920).. Prelamin-A/C. Prelamin-A/C can accelerate smooth muscle cell senescence (PubMed : 20458013). It acts to disrupt mitosis and induce DNA damage in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), leading to mitotic failure, genomic instability, and premature senescence (PubMed : 20458013).
