Biological Activity

[Description]:

Brefeldin A is a specific inhibitor of protein trafficking which blocks the protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex.

CRISPR/Cas9

[In Vitro]

Brefeldin A treatment for 15 h or 40 h, causes dramatic swelling of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and shifts its localization to the periphery of normal rat kidney (NRK) cells. Prolonged Brefeldin A treatment results in marked disruption of the MT and actin cytoskeleton[1]. ADP-ribosylation of BARS is mediated by formation of a conjugate between Brefeldin A and ADPR. BARS shows BAC binding when incubated with the medium from the BFA-treated CD38+ HeLa cells[2]. Brefeldin A induces anchorage-independent cell death in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, inhibits the formation of MDA-MB-231 colonies in 3D and 2D cultures and inhibits the migration and MMP 9 (Matrix Metallopeptidase 9) activity of MDA-MB-231[3].

[Cell Assay]

Cells are grown on glass coverslips, fixed in 3 % paraformaldehyde in PBS (10 min at room temperature) and then washed in PBS. Cells are permeabilized with 0.01 % Triton X-lOO in PBS at room temperature for 7 min. The coverslips are washed (3 times in PBS/0.2 % Tween) incubated in PBS/O.4 % fish skin gelatin/0.2 % Tween (5 min) and in PBS/2.5 % goat serum/0.2 % Tween (5 min.). After blocking, the cells are incubated with primary antibodies for 45 min at 37°C, and then washed with PBS/0.2 % Tween (5 times, 5 min each). The secondary antibodies are added for 30 min at 37°C and then cells are washed as above. Coverslips are mounted on slides in 9: 1 glycerol/PBS with 0.1 % o-phenylenediamine.
