생물학적 설명

특이성

FOXA1 Antibody [E4N8]는 총 FOXA1 단백질의 내인성 수준을 인식합니다.
배경

FOXA1 (Forkhead box A1, HNF3α)은 간, 폐, 전립선과 같은 내배엽 유래 기관의 발달에 필수적인 핵심 전사 인자입니다. 이는 선구자 인자(pioneer factor)로 기능하며, 주로 원거리 인핸서를 표적하여 염색질을 리모델링하고 세포 유형 특이적인 방식으로 유전자 전사를 조절합니다. FOXA1은 관련 단백질 FOXA2 및 FOXA3와 함께 조직 발달에 중요한 유전자를 조절하며, FOX 또는 "날개 달린 나선(winged helix)" 도메인으로 알려진 고도로 보존된 DNA 결합 도메인을 사용하여 DNA에 결합하고 개방형 염색질 상태를 생성합니다. 이는 다른 전사 조절인자의 모집을 촉진하여 FOXA 단백질을 염색질 리모델링의 중요한 "선구자 인자"로 자리매김합니다. 이는 에스트로겐 수용체(ER) 및 안드로겐 수용체(AR) 전사 활성을 조절함으로써 유방암 및 전립선암과 같은 호르몬 의존성 암과 관련이 있습니다. 또한 히스톤 및 DNA 메틸화와 같은 염색질 변형에 영향을 미쳐 유전자 전사 조절에서의 역할을 강화합니다. FOXA1은 면역 조절과도 관련이 있으며, 재발-완화형 다발성 경화증 환자에게 IFN-β 치료를 하면 FOXA1 양성 조절 T 세포의 생성이 촉진됩니다.

Experimental Protocol:
 
Sample preparation
1. Tissue: Lyse the tissue sample by adding an appropriate volume of ice-cold RIPA/Nuclear Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail)，and homogenize the tissue at a low temperature or lyse it by sonication on ice, then incubate on ice for 30 minutes.
2. Adherent cell: Aspirate the culture medium and transfer the cells into an EP tube. Wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Add an appropriate volume of RIPA/Nuclear Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail), sonicate to lyse the cells, and incubate on ice for 30 minutes.
3. Suspension cell: Transfer the culture medium to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube. Centrifuge and aspirate the supernatant. Wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice.Add an appropriate volume of RIPA/Nuclear Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail), sonicate to lyse the cells, and incubate on ice for 30 minutes.
4. Place the lysate into a pre-cooled microcentrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 4°C for 15 min. Collect the supernatant;
5. Remove a small volume of lysate to determine the protein concentration;
6. Combine the lysate with protein loading buffer. Boil 20 µL sample under 95-100°C for 5 min. Centrifuge for 5 min after cool down on ice.
 
Electrophoretic separation
1. According to the concentration of extracted protein, load appropriate amount of protein sample and marker onto SDS-PAGE gels for electrophoresis. Recommended separating gel (lower gel) concentration: 10%. Reference Table for Selecting SDS-PAGE Separation Gel Concentrations
2. Power up 80V for 30 minutes. Then the power supply is adjusted (110 V~150 V), the Marker is observed, and the electrophoresis can be stopped when the indicator band of the predyed protein Marker where the protein is located is properly separated. (Note that the current should not be too large when electrophoresis, too large current (more than 150 mA) will cause the temperature to rise, affecting the result of running glue. If high currents cannot be avoided, an ice bath can be used to cool the bath.)
 
Transfer membrane
1. Take out the converter, soak the clip and consumables in the pre-cooled converter;
2. Activate PVDF membrane with methanol for 1 min and rinse with transfer buffer;
3. Install it in the order of "black edge of clip - sponge - filter paper - filter paper - glue -PVDF membrane - filter paper - filter paper - sponge - white edge of clip";
4. The protein was electrotransferred to PVDF membrane. ( 0.45 µm PVDF membrane is recommended ) Reference Table for Selecting PVDF Membrane Pore Size Specifications
Recommended conditions for wet transfer: 200 mA, 120 min.
( Note that the transfer conditions can be adjusted according to the protein size. For high-molecular-weight proteins, a higher current and longer transfer time are recommended. However, ensure that the transfer tank remains at a low temperature to prevent gel melting.)
 
Block
1. After electrotransfer, wash the film with TBST at room temperature for 5 minutes;
2. Incubate the film in the blocking solution for 1 hour at room temperature;
3. Wash the film with TBST for 3 times, 5 minutes each time.
 
Antibody incubation
1. Use 5% skim milk powder to prepare the primary antibody working liquid (recommended dilution ratio for primary antibody 1:1000), gently shake and incubate with the film at 4°C overnight;
2. Wash the film with TBST 3 times, 5 minutes each time;
3. Add the secondary antibody to the blocking solution and incubate with the film gently at room temperature for 1 hour;
4. After incubation, wash the film with TBST 3 times for 5 minutes each time.
 
Antibody staining
887. Add the prepared ECL luminescent substrate (or select other color developing substrate according to the second antibody) and mix evenly;
2. Incubate with the film for 1 minute, remove excess substrate (keep the film moist), wrap with plastic film, and expose in the imaging system.
