TCF7L2 Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

TCF7L2, or TCF4, is a high mobility group (HMG) box-containing transcription factor that plays a key role in the Wnt signaling pathway. TCF7L2 has been implicated in glucose homeostasis through the regulation of pro-glucagon gene expression, which encodes glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). Genetic variants of TCF7L2 have been linked to type 2 diabetes, and it has specifically been shown to have an important role in the regulation of both 946;-cell survival and function (4). Several splicing isoforms for TCF7L2 have been shown to be differentially expressed in tissues during cancer progression (3), and gene targeting studies indicate that TCF7L2 is required to maintain the crypt stem cells of the small intestine (1, 2).
