ab14106 stained HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells.

The cells were fixed in 100% methanol for 5 minutes, permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then incubated in 1% BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1 hour at room temperature to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab14106 at 1 μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (pseudo-colored green) was ab150081 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (pseudo-colored red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature.

DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM for 1 hour at room temperature.

Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 and blocked with 10% serum for 30 minutes at 25°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in PBS) for 18 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody at a dilution of 1/1000.

Supplementary information

TAGLN also known as Transgelin or SM22-alpha is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. Structurally it belongs to the calponin family and contains an ACT domain which is critical for its actin-binding ability. It is expressed abundantly in smooth muscle cells where it stabilizes cytoskeletal dynamics by interacting with actin filaments. TAGLN also shows expression in fibroblasts and myofibroblasts supporting structural integrity and cellular movement.
Biological function summary

The regulatory involvement of TAGLN in smooth muscle contraction influences cellular activities essential for vascular function. This protein modulates remodeling and differentiation within smooth muscle cells. It can associate with actin and calponin to form complexes that regulate the stability of cytoskeletal structures ensuring effective cellular responses to mechanical stimuli. By linking signal transduction to cytoskeletal mechanics TAGLN facilitates the maintenance of cell shape and tension.

Pathways

TAGLN plays a role in the regulation of the RhoA/Rho kinase pathway contributing to actin cytoskeleton organization and smooth muscle contraction. Additionally it is involved in the WNT signaling pathway influencing cell proliferation and differentiation. In these pathways TAGLN works with proteins like RhoA and beta-catenin to transmit signals from the extracellular environment to the nucleus impacting gene expression and cellular responses.

Disruptions in TAGLN expression associate with vascular diseases and certain cancers. Downregulation or altered expression patterns can lead to smooth muscle cell dysfunction contributing to atherosclerosis. Similarly TAGLN interacts with proteins such as fibronectin and MMP2 in cancer where its altered expression could promote metastasis and tumor progression. Understanding these connections highlights TAGLN's potential as a target for therapeutic interventions in these diseases.
