Gene: COL1A1
Official Full Name: collagen type I alpha 1 chainprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type I collagen whose triple helix comprises two alpha1 chains and one alpha2 chain. Type I is a fibril-forming collagen found in most connective tissues and is abundant in bone, cornea, dermis and tendon. Mutations in this gene are associated with osteogenesis imperfecta types I-IV, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIA, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Classical type, Caffey Disease and idiopathic osteoporosis. Reciprocal translocations between chromosomes 17 and 22, where this gene and the gene for platelet-derived growth factor beta are located, are associated with a particular type of skin tumor called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, resulting from unregulated expression of the growth factor. Two transcripts, resulting from the use of alternate polyadenylation signals, have been identified for this gene. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

COL1A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the COL1A1 gene, which encodes a critical component of type I collagen. This product serves as a vital tool for studying collagen-related disorders, including osteogenesis imperfecta and various fibrotic conditions, by allowing researchers to explore the role of COL1A1 in cellular processes such as extracellular matrix formation, cell adhesion, and signaling pathways.
The key mechanism underlying the functionality of these knockout cell lines involves the complete disruption of the COL1A1 gene, achieved through advanced gene-editing techniques like CRISPR/Cas9. This targeted modification ensures that researchers can observe the phenotypic and molecular consequences of COL1A1 deficiency in vitro, providing insights into how aberrant collagen synthesis contributes to pathological states.
The scientific importance of COL1A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated; they are invaluable in both fundamental research and clinical applications. By using these cell lines, scientists can investigate the mechanisms underlying collagen synthesis and degradation, screen for potential therapeutic agents, and develop strategies for gene therapy targeting collagen-related diseases. In drug discovery, these models can quickly assess the efficacy of novel compounds aimed at correcting or compensating for COL1A1-related defects.
Compared to conventional cell lines, our COL1A1 knockout models offer unparalleled specificity and reliability for studying collagen function. They are rigorously validated, ensuring reproducibility across experiments, while allowing for more insightful and accelerated research outcomes. Additionally, these cell lines can easily integrate with high-throughput screening technologies and various omics approaches, further enhancing their utility.
Researchers and clinicians dealing with connective tissue disorders or those focusing on regenerative medicine will find tremendous value in the COL1A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines. They not only facilitate deeper understanding of disease mechanisms but also pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.
