Angptl2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) | sc-406130-LAC | 200 µl | $455.00 |
Human ANGPTL2 encodes angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2), a secreted glycoprotein that modulates cell–cell communication within vascular, adipose, and stromal microenvironments. Angptl2 has been linked to regulation of endothelial activation, extracellular matrix remodeling, leukocyte recruitment, and chronic inflammatory signaling, intersecting with pathways that influence angiogenesis and metabolic homeostasis. Altered ANGPTL2 expression is frequently studied in contexts of obesity-associated inflammation, insulin resistance, atherosclerotic processes, and tumor-associated stromal remodeling. As a circulating and microenvironmental factor, Angptl2 provides a tractable node for dissecting how secreted ligands shape tissue inflammation and vascular dynamics.
Angptl2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) address this need by packaging the complete synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcriptional activation system into transduction-ready, high-titer lentiviral particles, enabling efficient ANGPTL2 upregulation across a broader range of human cell types.
Angptl2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) deliver all functional components of the synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system via lentiviral transduction. The system comprises three particle preparations co-transduced into target cells: one encoding catalytically inactive dCas9 (D10A and N863A mutations) fused to the VP64 transactivation domain with a blasticidin resistance gene; one encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein with a hygromycin resistance gene; and one encoding a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers with a puromycin resistance gene. Following lentiviral transduction and genomic integration of the expression cassettes, the SAM components are stably expressed and assemble at the target locus within the proximal promoter region upstream of the ANGPTL2 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act cooperatively to recruit endogenous transcriptional machinery and drive sustained upregulation of endogenous Angptl2 expression. The use of nuclease-inactive dCas9 avoids the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks and preserves the native ANGPTL2 genomic locus and regulatory architecture.
The lentiviral format offers several practical advantages: stable genomic integration supports heritable activation across cell divisions; high-titer particle preparations eliminate the need for in-house viral production; and compatibility with primary, non-dividing, and transfection-resistant cell types expands experimental accessibility. Successful transduction can be confirmed and enriched through triple antibiotic selection using puromycin, hygromycin, and blasticidin.
