Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab76148 (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 (ab76148, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monclonal) (1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive result in HeLa cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

Musashi-2 (MSI2) is a member of the Musashi RNA-binding protein family also labeled as MSI-2. The protein is approximately 38 kDa in size. It expresses primarily in stem cells and various tumor types including hematopoietic cells and neural tissue. MSI2 plays a role in maintaining stem cell self-renewal and differentiation by regulating mRNA translation through binding to specific target RNAs.
Biological function summary

MSI2 contributes to the regulation of gene expression with a significant impact on cell fate decisions. It acts as part of a post-transcriptional regulatory complex that controls the stability and translation of specific mRNA targets. MSI2 influences pathways involved in stem cell maintenance and differentiation linking it to cellular processes like proliferation and apoptosis. Its activity is important for normal development and the maintenance of undifferentiated cell states.

Pathways

MSI2 has important roles in the Notch and Wnt signaling pathways. These pathways are vital for stem cell maintenance and tissue regeneration. MSI2 regulates components of these pathways interacting with proteins such as beta-catenin in Wnt signaling. This regulation enhances its involvement in controlling cell proliferation and differentiation contributing to signaling processes that determine cellular behavior.

MSI2 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and certain types of solid tumors. Overexpression of MSI2 often correlates with poor prognosis in AML where it impacts cancer progression by modulating genes associated with cell growth. Additionally its interaction with oncogenic proteins like BCR-ABL suggests its involvement in cancerogenesis through disease-linked pathways. Research indicates MSI2 as a potential target for therapeutic intervention in such malignancies.
