Hep G2 nuclear extract (Acetaldehyde treated)
背景资料Hep G2 nuclear extract (Acetaldehyde treated) was prepared from cell cultures of the human hepatocellular liver carcinoma Hep G2 cell line. These cells are epithelial in morphology and can be induced to form polarized epithelium under appropriate culture conditions. Hep G2 cells are most commonly used for studies related to hepatocyte function. Because of their ability to differentiate into polarized epithelium, these cells are often used to investigate intracellular protein trafficking, specifically in relation to human liver diseases. Hep G2 is the most commonly used cell line for studying the regulation of hepatic protein synthesis, particularly the synthesis of acute phase proteins after the onset of a systemic inflammatory response. In addition, these cells are used to study liver metabolism, liver cancers, liver regeneration, liver cytotoxicity, apoptosis and as a model for hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral etiology.
Treatment of Hep G2 cells with acetaldehyde leads to various cytotoxic effects associated with alcohol-induced liver disease (ALD). Acetaldehyde, along with reactive oxygen species (ROS), is generated as a byproduct of ethanol metabolism and is a critical mediator of the induction of oxidative stress and other deleterious effects of ALD, in particular those related to autoimmune injury. The induction of oxidative stress by acetaldehyde leads to the subsequent activation of NFκB and AP-1. Activation of these transcription factors in pro-oxidant conditions leads to upregulation of inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, the formation of protein-acetaldehyde adducts triggers the activation of NF-1 and SP-1 transcription factors that is accompanied by the onset of fibrogenesis. Also, several studies have linked exposure to elevated levels of acetaldehyde, either through alcohol abuse or a defect in alcohol dehydrogenase, to an increased risk of developing liver and gastrointestinal cancers.
产品描述：
Hep G2 nuclear extract (Acetaldehyde treated) is specifically recommended for studies related to 1) ALD, 2) human liver diseases, cancers and drug therapies, 3) HBV etiology, 4) NF-κB and AP-1 signaling pathways, and 5) apoptosis.
产品应用：
Hep G2 nuclear extract (Acetaldehyde treated) is supplied in Dilution Buffer (20 mM Hepes (pH 7.9), 100 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 20% glycerol, 0.5 mM PMSF and 0.5 mM DTT). Cells were cultured in medium supplemented with 200 µM Acetaldehyde for 4 hours at 37°C immediately prior to harvesting.
产品使用：
Extracts have been quality control tested by Western blot.
温度保存：
Lyophilized proteins can be stored at -20°C or -80°C, preferably desiccated. Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.

关于5-hmC
5-hmC是近年来在动物组织中发现的，由胞嘧啶修饰而来。5-hmC在表观遗传学上的功能可能与5-甲基化胞嘧啶(5-mC)不同。尽管到现在为止还不确知其功能，有研究者猜测它在调控基因的表达与关闭过程中起着重要的作用。5-mC的发现让我们不得不重新评估DNA甲基信息，也不得不监测人类的健康组织和病理组织之间5-mC相对分布的差异。在EPI公司的MethylFlash技术之前，我们还没有发现任何直接的常规方法来检测5- hmC,以及区分5-hmC和5-mC
5-hmC 和 5-mC的区别
时下常用的DNA甲基化分析方法包括限制内切酶酶切和亚硫酸氢盐或MeDIP介导的MS-PCR和测序，这些技术都不适合用来检测5-hmC，因为它与5-mC事实上很难用这类方法区分开来。为了解决这个问题，EPIk研制了MethylFlash羟甲基化DNA定量试剂盒(荧光法)。本试剂盒提供了一种很经济的方法来检测5-羟甲基化胞嘧啶，并且区分5-hmC, 5-mC, 和 C，使得研究者能够重新评估他们的DNA甲基化信息，也能够在新样品中寻找DNA羟甲基化。 |
