Twist-1 (Twist-related protein 1; also H-Twist and bHLHa38) is a 25‑27 kDa class B member of the bHLH transcription factor family of proteins. It is widely expressed in embryo, and select adult cells such as white adipocytes. In fat, Twist-1 induces fatty acid oxidation via PGC-1 alpha and CPT-1, and promotes MCP-1 and TNF-alpha secretion by adipocytes. In epithelium, Twist-1 dysregulation represses E-Cadherin and induces N-Cadherin expression, resulting in an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition that can lead to cancer. Human Twist-1 is 202 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a bHLH domain (aa 109-164) with an embedded DNA-binding motif. Twist-1 forms homodimers, and heterodimerizes with TCF3, HAND 1 and HAND 2. Two distinct mutations exist that may impact its dimerization pattern. There is one seven aa insertion after Ile135, and a second seven aa insertion after Pro139. A third unrelated variant shows a four Gly insert after Gly92. Full-length human Twist-1 shares 98% aa identity with mouse Twist-1.

Detection of Human Twist‑1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line and HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Twist-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6230) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Twist-1 at approximately 24 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Twist‑1 in Human PBMCs by Flow Cytometry.
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMCs) were stained with Mouse Anti-Human Twist-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6230, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB002, open histogram), followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0102B). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

Detection of Twist-1 by Western Blot
DS regulated the adhesion of the aggregates of the H9 cells via canonical Wnt signaling. A GSEA analyses of Wnt-associated genes enriched in the aggregates of the H9 cells treated with DS. B Gene expression analysis by qRT-PCR for Wnt-associated genes, relative gene expression represents data normalized to GADPH and expressed relative to untreated aggregates. C Immunofluorescence analysis of beta -catenin (red) on the aggregates of the H9 cells treated with or without DS; the nuclei were stained with DAPI. Scale bars = 50 μm. D The protein levels of total beta -catenin in nuclei and cytoplasm were determined by western blotting in the aggregates of the H9 cells after treatment with or without DS; the purity of nuclear and cytosolic fractions was verified using laminB1 and GAPDH, respectively. E Gene expression analysis by qRT-PCR for Wnt-targeted genes; relative gene expression represents data normalized to GADPH and expressed relative to untreated aggregates. F The protein levels of WNT7B, FZD8, total beta -catenin, LEF1, MMP3, MMP7, TWIST1, SNAI2, and E-cad were determined by western blotting in the aggregates of the H9 cells after treatment with or without DS; GAPDH was used as a loading control. Data represent the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
