Gene: CXCR2
Official Full Name: C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family. This protein is a receptor for interleukin 8 (IL8). It binds to IL8 with high affinity, and transduces the signal through a G-protein activated second messenger system. This receptor also binds to chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1/MGSA), a protein with melanoma growth stimulating activity, and has been shown to be a major component required for serum-dependent melanoma cell growth. This receptor mediates neutrophil migration to sites of inflammation. The angiogenic effects of IL8 in intestinal microvascular endothelial cells are found to be mediated by this receptor. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this receptor controls the positioning of oligodendrocyte precursors in developing spinal cord by arresting their migration. This gene, IL8RA, a gene encoding another high affinity IL8 receptor, as well as IL8RBP, a pseudogene of IL8RB, form a gene cluster in a region mapped to chromosome 2q33-q36. Alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

CXCR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a cutting-edge genomic product designed to facilitate advanced research on the chemokine receptor CXCR2 and its role in various biological processes. These cell lines have been engineered through precise genome editing techniques, specifically employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create targeted disruptions in the CXCR2 gene, ultimately leading to a loss of function in the encoded receptor.
The primary mechanism of action involves the complete ablation of CXCR2 expression, allowing researchers to study the downstream effects of its absence in cellular signaling pathways, immune responses, and tumor progression. By observing phenotypic changes and differential responses to inflammatory stimuli in these knockout cell lines, scientists can elucidate the receptor’s contribution to conditions such as cancer metastasis, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases.
The scientific significance of CXCR2 knockout cell lines extends into both research and clinical applications. In preclinical settings, they are invaluable tools for drug development and therapeutic intervention, providing insights into receptor antagonism and the identification of novel drug targets. Moreover, they assist in the exploration of complex immune mechanisms, aiding in the design of more effective treatment strategies for inflammatory diseases.
Compared to traditional cell lines, CXCR2 knockout cell lines offer substantial advantages by providing a clear genetic model to specifically target the role of CXCR2 without confounding variables that might arise from other receptor pathways. Their specificity can enhance the reproducibility and reliability of experimental results, making them an indispensable asset for researchers focusing on chemokine biology.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of immune modulation and related pathologies, CXCR2 gene knockout cell lines represent a pivotal resource. They empower innovative experimentation and drive the discovery of potential interventions. Our company, with its dedication to providing high-quality biological products backed by profound scientific expertise, proudly offers these state-of-the-art cell lines to meet the evolving needs of the research community.
