Gene: IL1A
Official Full Name: interleukin 1 alphaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in various immune responses, inflammatory processes, and hematopoiesis. This cytokine is produced by monocytes and macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed and released in response to cell injury, and thus induces apoptosis. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. It has been suggested that the polymorphism of these genes is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

IL1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models that specifically lack the expression of the interleukin 1 alpha (IL1A) gene. This gene encodes a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune response and various inflammatory diseases. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these knockout cell lines provide researchers with the ability to investigate the specific functions and pathways mediated by IL1A without the confounding effects of its expression.
The fundamental function of IL1A involves its role in promoting inflammation and mediating cell signaling cascades that can impact cellular behaviors such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. By studying IL1A knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the contribution of IL1A to disease models, particularly in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, and cancer, where inflammation is a critical factor. The ability to observe changes in cellular responses in the absence of IL1A allows for the identification of potential therapeutic targets.
The scientific importance of IL1A knockout cell lines extends into numerous applications in both basic research and clinical settings. They are invaluable for drug discovery, toxicity testing, and understanding immune responses, enabling the development of innovative strategies to modulate IL1A-related pathways for therapeutic benefit. Moreover, the distinctive advantage of these cell lines lies in their specificity; unlike pharmacological inhibitors, which may have off-target effects, the complete knockout provides a clear picture of IL1A’s role.
Researchers and clinicians can greatly benefit from the reliable, reproducible, and precise data obtained from these knockout cell lines, facilitating advancements in novel therapies involving inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Additionally, the utility of these cell lines can enhance the validity of scientific findings, offering a significant competitive edge in research.
