Anti-phospho-FoxO1 (pS218) antibody
Description
Application Data
Description
-
Recognises FoxO1 transcriptional regulator phosphorylated at serine 218 in Western blots and immunohistochemistry with a strong signal and low background noise
Application Data
-
Angiosarcoma tissue sample immunostaining. Biopsie from patients suffering from angiosarcoma.
FoxO1 phosphorylation status correlates in angiosarcoma patient survival (Riddell et al 2018 Nat Commun). The survival time of the pSer218 FoxO1 negative group was significantly longer than that of the pSer218 FoxO1 positive groups.
Formaldehyde-fixed paraffin block patient tissue samples were cut into 5-7 μM sections then deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated in a graded ethanol series. This was followed by antigen retrieval in sodium citrate buffer by boiling the slides for 15 min. The tissue was then blocked in 5% FCS + 0.1% Tween-20 for 30 min at room temperature followed by incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 degrees (anti-pSer218-FoxO 1:100; anti-VE-Cadherin 1:100; R&D Systems AF938) Tissue was then washed and secondary antibodies were applied.

Forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) is a transcriptional regulator of cell growth and proliferation controlled by a receptor tyrosine kinase signalling pathway (the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A)/phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway). FoxO1 is phosphorylated in the DNA binding domain at serine 218 by aPKCλ. FoxO1 Ser218 phosphorylation and aPKC expression correlate with poor patient prognosis in various cancers.
VEGF/PI3K/Akt signalling results in FoxO1 cytoplasmic localisation and its inactivation. Cytoplasmically localised FoxO1 is associated with cellular myelocytomatosis (c-Myc) expression and endothelial cell (EC) proliferation. Abnormal atypical protein kinase C (aPKC)/FoxO1/c-Myc signalling contributes to excessive EC proliferation in angiosarcoma and when constitutively active, FoxO1 leads to lethality due to heart defects.
