Function

Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally. Plays a role in cell directional movement, orientation, cell sheet organization and Golgi complex polarization at the cell migration front (By similarity). Protects SCRIB from proteasomal degradation and facilitates its localization to intermediate filaments in a cell contact-mediated manner (By similarity).Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2.

Activity summary

Vimentin also known by its scientific name VIM is a type of intermediate filament protein that forms part of the cytoskeleton. It has a molecular mass of approximately 57 kDa. Vimentin is expressed in various cell types including mesenchymal cells fibroblasts and endothelial cells. This protein maintains cell integrity and provides resistance against stress by organizing cellular architecture and anchoring organelles. Researchers often use antibodies such as anti-vimentin or anti-mouse vimentin to study its expression and functions in cell biology.

Biological function summary

The role of vimentin involves providing structural support and participating in processes like cell division and wound healing. Vimentin forms complexes with other cytoskeletal proteins significantly impacting cell shape and mobility. Its involvement in cellular stability becomes paramount during events requiring cellular reorganization such as embryogenesis and inflammation. These functions are frequently observed using labeled antibodies like Alexa Fluor 568 and Alexa Fluor 647 for fluorescent imaging.

Pathways

Vimentin plays a role in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and interacts within the TGF-beta signaling pathway. It works alongside proteins like N-cadherin and fibronectin in the EMT pathway contributing to increased cell motility and survival. This involvement positions vimentin as a control point reflecting changes in cell phenotypes under physiological and pathological conditions.

Associated diseases and disorders

Vimentin has relevance in cancer metastasis and cardiovascular diseases. Its aberrant expression correlates with tumor progression and metastatic potential by affecting cell movement and invasion. Vimentin also associates with proteins like collagen and integrins in the context of cardiovascular pathologies influencing vascular stiffness and remodelling. By targeting vimentin researchers aim to understand intervention strategies that may mitigate these diseases.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker (ab92547)

    Immunostaining of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human microtissues after exposure to MTX, TAA and TGF-β1.

    Formalin fixed paraffin embedded slides of HepaRG/THP-1 macrophages/hTERT-HSC microtissues were stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) and vimentin after 14 days of treatment with MTX, TAA and TGF-β1. Microtissues were fixed in 4% PFA and embedded in 2% agarose prior to paraffinization. Microtissues showed increase in the vimentin positive cells after MTX, TAA and TGF-β1 exposure. Vimentin stainings show proliferation of stellate cells and THP-1 macrophages in the microtissues, suggesting the onset of inflammation process.

    We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
    Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

    IHC image of unpurified ab92547 staining Vimentin in human breast adenocarcinoma formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections*, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab92547, 1/200 dilution, 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. No primary antibody was used in the negative control (shown on the inset).

    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.

A band was observed at 55 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in VIM knockout cell line Human VIM knockout A549 cell line ab288984. To generate this image, wild-type and VIM knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged.
