DDR2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DDR2

Official Full Name: discoidin domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the discoidin domain receptor subclass of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTKs) protein family. RTKs play a key role in the communication of cells with their microenvironment. The encoded protein is a collagen-induced receptor that activates signal transduction pathways involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. This protein is expressed in numerous cell types and may alos be involved in wound repair and regulate tumor growth and invasiveness. Mutations in this gene are the cause of short limb-hand type spondylometaepiphyseal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Background

DDR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models in which the DDR2 (Discoidin Domain Receptor 2) gene has been inactivated. This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a pivotal role in cellular responses to extracellular matrices, impacting processes such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. By utilizing gene knockout techniques, these cell lines enable researchers to investigate the function of DDR2 in various biological contexts, elucidating its role in pathways associated with fibrosis, cancer, and other pathologies.

The primary mechanism behind DDR2 gene knockout is the targeted disruption of the DDR2 gene through strategies such as CRISPR/Cas9 or RNA interference. This specific manipulation allows precise studies on the biological effects and signaling pathways mediated by DDR2, providing insights that are crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Researchers can observe alterations in cellular behavior, gene expression profiles, and protein interactions, leading to a deeper understanding of the extracellular matrix's influence on cellular functions.

The scientific significance of DDR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to numerous applications in both laboratory and clinical settings. They are invaluable tools for drug discovery, providing a platform for identifying and validating novel therapeutic compounds aimed at modulating DDR2-associated pathways. Furthermore, they contribute to preclinical research by enabling the study of disease models and the evaluation of therapeutic interventions targeting DDR2.

One of the unique advantages of DDR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity. Unlike general knockdown techniques that may result in off-target effects, these knockout lines ensure the direct study of the DDR2 receptor's involvement in cellular processes. This specificity enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes and enables researchers to generate reproducible data.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of DDR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to significantly advance the understanding of the DDR2 receptor's role in disease progression, potentially leading to breakthroughs in targeted therapies for conditions such as fibrosis and cancer. The precise nature of these cell lines allows for more accurate modeling of human diseases, making them a critical asset in translational research.
