Background of AQP5
Aquaporin 5, also known as AQP5, is a water channel protein. The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of more than 10 homologous water transporting proteins expressed in many mammalian epithelia and endothelia. At least five AQPs are expressed in the eye: AQP0 (MIP) in lens fiber, AQP1 in cornea endothelium, ciliary and lens epithelia and trabecular meshwork, AQP3 in conjunctiva, AQP4 in ciliary epithelium and retinal Müller cells, and AQP5 in corneal and lacrimal gland epithelia. Among the seven human aquaporins cloned to date (AQPs 0-6), genes encoding the four most closely related aquaporins (AQP0, AQP2, AQP5, and AQP6) have been mapped to chromosome band 12q13, suggesting an aquaporin family gene cluster at this locus. Aquaporin 5 plays a role in the generation of saliva, tears and pulmonary secretions.

Western blot analysis of Aquaporin 5 using anti-Aquaporin 5 antibody (A03085).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: rat lung tissue lysates,
Lane 2: mouse lung tissue lysates.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Aquaporin 5 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A03085) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Aquaporin 5 at approximately 28KD. The expected band size for Aquaporin 5 is at 28KD.

IHC analysis of Aquaporin 5 using anti-Aquaporin 5 antibody (A03085).
Aquaporin 5 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of mouse lung tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2μg/ml rabbit anti-Aquaporin 5 Antibody (A03085) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

| Results Summary | AQP5 (Aquaporin 5) is a transmembrane water channel protein that primarily regulates cellular water transport and plays a critical and complex role in tumor progression. In breast cancer, high AQP5 expression is often associated with increased tumor invasiveness, lymph node metastasis, and poor patient prognosis. In this experiment, AQP5 protein levels were markedly increased in cells treated with the agonist, whereas they were significantly reduced in cells treated with the inhibitor. |
