描述：

赛信通SignalSilence® AMPKα2 siRNA II可以通过RNA干扰技术特异性地抑制AMPKα2的表达（RNA干扰技术是通过往细胞内导入双链干扰RNA来选择性地抑制某些基因的表达）。赛信通所有的SignalSilence® siRNA产品都经过了实验室的反复验证，并且通过Western实验来证实了基因表达的抑制效果。寡核苷酸的合成由三苯甲基分析逐一检测碱基序列，以确保合适的耦合效率，然后通过亲和固相萃取纯化寡核苷酸。退火的双链RNA进一步通过质谱分析，以验证双链的确切组成。每批次产品利用质谱检测，以最大程度地确保批次间的一致性。CST推荐对细胞用100 nM AMPKα2 siRNA II转染48到72小时后再进行裂解。转染步骤参考转染试剂的厂家产品说明。如果在使用过程中有任何问题，请联系CST技术支持。腺苷酸激活的蛋白激酶（AMPK）是一种在酵母，植物和动物界高度保守的蛋白激酶，它在能量平衡中发挥关键性的作用(1)。AMPK是异源三聚体复合物，由α催化亚基和β、γ两个调节亚基组成，每个亚基都由两到三个不同的基因编码(α1, 2; β1, 2; γ1, 2, 3)(2)。细胞或者环境因素的刺激，如热激，缺氧，缺血等，导致AMP/ATP浓度比的升高，AMP/ATP浓度比的升高可以激活AMPK。肿瘤抑制因子LKB1，与辅助蛋白STRAD和MO25相结合，在AMPK的α亚基活化环的172位苏氨酸上对其磷酸化，磷酸化对AMPK的激活是必需的(3-5)。AMPKα同样也可以在Thr258和Ser485(α1; α2是Ser491)位点磷酸化。此过程的上游激酶和这些位点磷酸化的生物学意义尚不明晰(6)。β1亚基有一些翻译后的修饰，包括豆蒄酰化修饰，以及在多个位点的磷酸化修饰(包括Ser24/25, Ser96, Ser101和Ser182)(6,7)。β1亚基Ser108的磷酸化可能对AMPK的激活来说是必需的，而Ser24/25和Ser182的磷酸化可能影响到AMPK的定位(7)。越来越多的证据表明，AMPK不仅调控机体的糖脂代谢，同时也通过EF2和TSC2/mTOR通路调控细胞生长和蛋白质的合成，以及通过eNOS/nNOS系统来调节血流量(1)。

Description

SignalSilence® AMPKα2 siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit AMPKα2 expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.

Quality Control

Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.

Directions for Use

CST recommends transfection with 100 nM AMPKα2 siRNA II 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.

Background

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is highly conserved from yeast to plants and animals and plays a key role in the regulation of energy homeostasis (1). AMPK is a heterotrimeric complex composed of a catalytic α subunit and regulatory β and γ subunits, each of which is encoded by two or three distinct genes (α1, 2; β1, 2; γ1, 2, 3) (2). The kinase is activated by an elevated AMP/ATP ratio due to cellular and environmental stress, such as heat shock, hypoxia, and ischemia (1). The tumor suppressor LKB1, in association with accessory proteins STRAD and MO25, phosphorylates AMPKα at Thr172 in the activation loop, and this phosphorylation is required for AMPK activation (3-5). AMPKα is also phosphorylated at Thr258 and Ser485 (for α1; Ser491 for α2). The upstream kinase and the biological significance of these phosphorylation events have yet to be elucidated (6). The β1 subunit is post-translationally modified by myristoylation and multi-site phosphorylation including Ser24/25, Ser96, Ser101, Ser108, and Ser182 (6,7). Phosphorylation at Ser108 of the β1 subunit seems to be required for the activation of AMPK enzyme, while phosphorylation at Ser24/25 and Ser182 affects AMPK localization (7). Several mutations in AMPKγ subunits have been identified, most of which are located in the putative AMP/ATP binding sites (CBS or Bateman domains). Mutations at these sites lead to reduction of AMPK activity and cause glycogen accumulation in heart or skeletal muscle (1,2). Accumulating evidence indicates that AMPK not only regulates the metabolism of fatty acids and glycogen, but also modulates protein synthesis and cell growth through EF2 and TSC2/mTOR pathways, as well as blood flow via eNOS/nNOS (1).
