CTTN Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CTTN

Official Full Name: cortactinprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is overexpressed in breast cancer and squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The encoded protein is localized in the cytoplasm and in areas of the cell-substratum contacts. This gene has two roles: (1) regulating the interactions between components of adherens-type junctions and (2) organizing the cytoskeleton and cell adhesion structures of epithelia and carcinoma cells. During apoptosis, the encoded protein is degraded in a caspase-dependent manner. The aberrant regulation of this gene contributes to tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Three splice variants that encode different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Background

CTTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been genetically engineered to lack the expression of the CTTN gene (cortactin), a critical regulator of the actin cytoskeleton and cellular signaling pathways. These cell lines are invaluable tools for studying the function of cortactin in various biological processes, including cell motility, invasion, and proliferation. By elucidating the roles of CTTN, researchers gain insights into its involvement in cancer metastasis and other diseases.

The mechanisms by which CTTN contributes to cellular functions primarily revolve around its interaction with actin filaments and other signaling proteins. In normal cells, cortactin facilitates actin filament polymerization and branching, promoting the formation of cellular protrusions that are essential for migration and tissue remodeling. In the absence of CTTN, studies have demonstrated altered cytoskeletal dynamics, underscoring its pivotal role in maintaining cellular architecture and function.

In both research and clinical settings, these knockout cell lines serve as robust platforms for drug discovery and mechanistic studies, enabling researchers to assess the effects of novel therapeutic agents on cell behavior devoid of cortactin influence. Furthermore, CTTN knockout models can aid in identifying potential biomarkers for therapeutic efficacy and resistance, particularly in oncology.

The distinct advantage of CTTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide highly reproducible and controlled environments for experimentation, fostering a deeper understanding of cortactin-related pathways compared to traditional methods. Unlike other gene-editing approaches, these cell lines allow for immediate and comprehensive studies of phenotypic changes stemming from the lack of CTTN expression, streamlining the research process.

For researchers and clinicians looking to explore the intricate workings of cellular motility and mechanotransduction, these knockout cell lines represent a significant advancement. They not only simplify investigations into cortactin functions but also open avenues for innovative therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting diseases associated with abnormal cellular behavior.
