Western Blot: c-Fos Antibody (2H2) [NBP2-50037] - Top panel: Analysis of c-Fos expression in HeLa cells using NBP2-50037. Lane 1: HeLa cells were serum-starved for 36 hours. Lane 2: Serum-starved HeLa cells were stimulated with 20% FBS (fetal bovine serum) for 2 hours. NBP2-50037 recognizes bands in the range of 50-65 kDa, which represent multiple forms of c-Fos. Serum starvation attenuates c-Fos expression, while 20% FBS strongly stimulates c-Fos expression. Bottom panel: Blot was stripped and probed with monoclonal antibody against GAPDH (NB300-221) used as loading control.

DAPI reveals nuclei of neurons and glia in blue. The hippocampal neurons stain green for FOX3/NeuN and a few also are expressing c-FOS, and so appear orange. These cells were spontaneously active at the time the animal was sacrificed.

Knockout Validated: c-Fos Antibody (2H2) [NBP2-50037] - Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and c-Fox knockout (KO) HeLa cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1:1000 of Mouse Anti-Human c-Fox Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # NBP2-50037) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog #HAF018). Specific band was detected for c-Fox at approximately 52 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in the knockout HeLa cell line. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions.

Background: c-Fos

c-Fos is an intermediate early gene that is one of four members of the FOS family of activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factors, which also includes Fra-1, Fra-2, and FosB (1-3). Under the FOS gene, human c-Fos is synthesized as a protein of 308 amino acids (aa) with a basic leucine zipper (bZip) domain important for dimerization, and a basic domain for interacting with DNA, with a theoretical molecular weight of ~40.6 kDa (4,5). c-Fos can heterodimerize with members of the JUN family (c-Jun, JunB, and JunD) to form the active transcription factor AP-1 complex (3,5). AP-1 related proteins bind TPA-related responsive elements (TRE), cAMP responsive elements (CRE), and related sequences, with c-Fos:c-Jun dimers partial to TRE sites (5).

In response to stimuli, c-Fos, which is encoded by protooncogenes, has a role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation (3,6). A variety of stimuli can increase c-Fos expression such as growth factors, proinflammatory cytokines, UV radiation, neurotransmitters, hormones, injury, and stress (1,6). c-Fos has long been used as a marker for neuronal activity and is associated with neural and behavioral responses following stimuli (1-3, 6-7). Mouse studies have revealed that c-Fos is important for efficient neurogenesis and cortical development (3). Additionally, c-Fos signal can be used as a molecular marker for learning and memory, such as recognition and fear (2,7). Studies have found that repeated positive stimuli result in increased Fos expression while, conversely, repeated negative value stimuli are indicated by decreased signal (7). Intermediate early genes have also been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders including showing altered c-Fos expression in a schizophrenia animal model (2). Furthermore, antipsychotics and antidepressants are both capable of impacting c-Fos expression (2).
