CLDN3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CLDN3

Official Full Name: claudin 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Tight junctions represent one mode of cell-to-cell adhesion in epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, forming continuous seals around cells and serving as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space. These junctions are comprised of sets of continuous networking strands in the outwardly facing cytoplasmic leaflet, with complementary grooves in the inwardly facing extracytoplasmic leaflet. The protein encoded by this intronless gene, a member of the claudin family, is an integral membrane protein and a component of tight junction strands. It is also a low-affinity receptor for Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin, and shares aa sequence similarity with a putative apoptosis-related protein found in rat. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CLDN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that lack the expression of the CLDN3 gene, which encodes the Claudin-3 protein—a critical component of tight junctions in epithelial tissues. These cell lines are invaluable tools for investigating the role of CLDN3 in cellular processes, including epithelial barrier integrity, cell proliferation, and signaling pathways associated with cancer metastasis. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 or other gene-editing technologies, these knockout models allow researchers to elucidate the functional contributions of CLDN3 to various physiological and pathological conditions.

The primary function of CLDN3 involves the regulation of paracellular permeability and the maintenance of tight junctions, which are essential for barrier formation in epithelial cells. By knocking out CLDN3, researchers can study alterations in cellular morphology, gene expression, and behavior in response to environmental and oncogenic stimuli. Such studies provide insights into the mechanisms by which CLDN3 contributes to tumor progression, local invasion, and ultimately, cancer metastasis.

In clinical and research settings, CLDN3 has emerged as a biomarker and potential therapeutic target in various cancers, including breast and ovarian cancers. Utilizing these knockout cell lines facilitates high-throughput screening of drugs aimed at restoring epithelial integrity or inhibiting cancerous growth, thereby expanding treatment options and enabling personalized medicine approaches.

This product stands out due to its specificity and versatility, as it not only provides a clear model for studying CLDN3's role but can also be adapted for various cell types used in cancer research. Compared to traditional methods, which may involve pharmacological agents that can confound results, these knockout cell lines offer a direct genetic approach leading to clearer interpretations of experimental outcomes.

Researchers and clinicians will find immense value in utilizing CLDN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines to advance their studies on epithelial dynamics and cancer biology. By uncovering how the loss of CLDN3 function specifically impacts cancer physiology, they can develop targeted strategies that may significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy and improve patient outcomes.
