ab129819 staining Musashi 1 / Msi1 in HAP1-MSI1 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 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 ab129819 at 5µg/ml and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150117, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was acquired with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems TCS SP8) and a single confocal section is shown.

Lanes 1 - 3 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab129819 observed at 39 kDa. Red - loading control, ab52866, observed at 50 kDa.

ab129819 was shown to specifically react with Musashi 1 / Msi1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in MSI1 knockout cells. Wild-type and MSI1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab129819 and ab52866 (Rabbit anti alpha Tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 5 ug/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216772 and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216777 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

Musashi 1 also known as Msi1 is an RNA-binding protein with a mass of about 39 kDa. Msi1 is present in high levels in neural tissue and certain stem cells. It works mechanically by recognizing and binding to specific RNA sequences impacting the fate of the mRNA. Musashi 1 regulates the translation and stability of its target mRNA affecting protein synthesis at the post-transcriptional level. Its expression is not limited to neural tissues but is also detected in other tissues where stem or progenitor cells are present.
Biological function summary

In neural stem cells and other tissue types Musashi 1 plays an important role in maintaining stem cell identity. Musashi 1 forms part of a complex that controls the translation of mRNAs involved in cell fate decisions. It acts by repressing or activating the translation of key regulatory proteins that guide stem cell maintenance and differentiation processes. This protein is also involved in cellular proliferation by influencing the translation of mRNAs tied to cell cycle regulation.

Pathways

The function of Musashi 1 lies within critical signaling pathways such as Notch and Wnt. It facilitates these pathways by regulating the translation of downstream effectors which are necessary for cellular communication and differentiation. Musashi 1 associates with proteins like Numb a known Notch signaling inhibitor and β-catenin from the Wnt pathway modulating their effects on cell cycle progression and stem cell fate.

Musashi 1’s abnormal expression is often linked to conditions like glioblastoma and colorectal cancer. High levels of Musashi 1 can promote tumor growth due to its role in cell proliferation and differentiation pathways. In glioblastoma its expression relates closely with other oncogenic proteins such as Numb and Notch altering normal regulatory mechanisms. In colorectal cancer Musashi 1’s interaction with β-catenin further drives tumorigenesis highlighting its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions.
