Gene: ASPM
Official Full Name: assembly factor for spindle microtubulesprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is the human ortholog of the Drosophila melanogaster 'abnormal spindle' gene (asp), which is essential for normal mitotic spindle function in embryonic neuroblasts. Studies in mouse also suggest a role of this gene in mitotic spindle regulation, with a preferential role in regulating neurogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with microcephaly primary type 5. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

ASPM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cell lines that have been generated to lack the gene ASPM (Abnormal Spindle Microtubule Assembly), which plays a crucial role in regulating neuronal proliferation and architecture during brain development. These knockout cell lines provide a valuable model for researchers to study the functional role of ASPM in neurogenesis, as well as its implications in various neurological disorders.
The core mechanism by which ASPM influences cellular behavior involves its regulation of the centrosome and microtubule dynamics during cell division, which is particularly significant in neural stem cells and progenitors. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 or other gene-editing technologies, ASPM Gene Knockout Cell Lines have been meticulously crafted to facilitate the observation of phenotypic changes that arise from the absence of this gene. This allows for a clearer understanding of ASPM's contributions to neuronal differentiation and its potential implications in conditions such as microcephaly and intellectual disabilities.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends into both research and clinical applications. They enable high-throughput screening for drug interactions, facilitate the identification of therapeutic targets, and enhance our understanding of developmental biology and pathologies associated with ASPM mutations. Compared to alternative models, such as embryonic stem cells or primary neuronal cultures, ASPM Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer more consistent genetic backgrounds and reproducibility, which are paramount for reliable experimental outcomes.
Researchers and clinicians will find immense value in these cell lines, as they provide a unique tool not only for elucidating the complexities of neurodevelopmental processes but also for bridging basic research with potential translational applications in the treatment of congenital brain disorders.
