Gene: CCN5
Official Full Name: cellular communication network factor 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the WNT1 inducible signaling pathway (WISP) protein subfamily, which belongs to the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) family. WNT1 is a member of a family of cysteine-rich, glycosylated signaling proteins that mediate diverse developmental processes. The CTGF family members are characterized by four conserved cysteine-rich domains: insulin-like growth factor-binding domain, von Willebrand factor type C module, thrombospondin domain and C-terminal cystine knot-like (CT) domain. The encoded protein lacks the CT domain which is implicated in dimerization and heparin binding. It is 72% identical to the mouse protein at the amino acid level. This gene may be downstream in the WNT1 signaling pathway that is relevant to malignant transformation. Its expression in colon tumors is reduced while the other two WISP members are overexpressed in colon tumors. It is expressed at high levels in bone tissue, and may play an important role in modulating bone turnover. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

CCN5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models where the CCN5 gene, also known as Wnt-induced secreted protein 1 (WISP-1), has been deliberately inactivated. This genetic modification allows for the detailed investigation of CCN5's biological roles in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, shedding light on its significant contributions in various pathological conditions, including cancer and fibrosis.
Functionally, CCN5 plays a crucial role in cell signaling pathways, particularly those associated with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. By creating knockout variants of these cell lines, researchers can assess the impact of CCN5 absence on cellular behavior, gene expression modifications, and protein interactions. The precise mechanism of action involves its ability to modulate transcription factors and extracellular matrix components, influencing cell-matrix interactions and growth factor signaling that contribute to tissue remodeling.
The scientific importance of CCN5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends across numerous research domains, including cancer biology, regenerative medicine, and fibrotic disease studies. In clinical settings, such models provide valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets, enabling drug discovery and validation processes that can lead to effective treatments.
Compared to traditional models, CCN5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer several distinct advantages. They provide a more accurate reflection of the gene's in vivo role while minimizing confounding variables often seen with pharmacological inhibitors. Furthermore, these cell lines serve as a reliable tool for high-throughput screening, enhancing the reproducibility and efficiency of research efforts.
For researchers and clinicians focused on unraveling disease mechanisms and developing innovative therapies, CCN5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable asset. They empower users to harness comprehensive data that drives forward both basic and translational research initiatives.
