ATXN8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ATXN8

Official Full Name: ataxin 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Spinocerebellar ataxia-8 (SCA8; {608768}) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CTG/CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion on chromosome 13q21 (see {603680.0001} and {613289.0001}). Two genes span the CTG/CAG repeat and are expressed in opposite directions: ATXN8, which encodes a nearly pure polyglutamine expansion protein in the CAG direction, and ATXN8OS ({603680}), which, when transcribed, produces a noncoding CUG expansion RNA ({2:Moseley et al., 2006}).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2010]

Background

ATXN8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the ataxin-8 gene, implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders, particularly spinocerebellar ataxias. These cell lines have been engineered to effectively disrupt the expression of the ataxin-8 protein, thereby allowing researchers to investigate the gene's function and contribution to disease pathology. The knockout mechanism is achieved through advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring precise alterations in genomic sequences that result in a loss of gene function.

The primary function of the ATXN8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to provide a controlled environment to study the consequences of ataxin-8 loss. Utilizing these cell lines, researchers can elucidate downstream effects on cellular pathways, protein interactions, and neurodegenerative processes, thereby advancing our understanding of ataxin-8-related pathology. These insights are critical for developing potential therapeutic approaches and identifying biomarkers for disease progression.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends beyond basic research; they hold significant applications in drug discovery and testing. By using these knockout models, researchers can screen compounds that may restore normal cellular functions or mitigate the consequences of ataxin-8 disruption. This can lead to targeted therapies aimed at slowing down or reversing neurodegenerative conditions.

What sets the ATXN8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their validated and reproducible knockout efficiency, as well as their versatility across various experimental setups. Researchers can utilize these lines for a broad spectrum of assays, from molecular analysis to in vivo studies, ensuring comprehensive data collection.

For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, the value of these cell lines lies in their ability to simulate human disease conditions, significantly enhancing the relevance and translatability of experimental results. By providing a reliable platform for the study of ataxin-8 biology and related pathways, these cell lines empower advancements in therapeutic strategies.
