IL6R Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IL6R

Official Full Name: interleukin 6 receptorprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of the interleukin 6 (IL6) receptor complex. Interleukin 6 is a potent pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation and plays an important role in the immune response. The IL6 receptor is a protein complex consisting of this protein and interleukin 6 signal transducer (IL6ST/GP130/IL6-beta), a receptor subunit also shared by many other cytokines. Dysregulated production of IL6 and this receptor are implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as multiple myeloma, autoimmune diseases and prostate cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified in this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Background

IL6R Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been genetically modified to disrupt the expression of the interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R). By employing precise genome-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, these cell lines serve as a vital tool for scientists to investigate the role of IL6R in various biological processes, including immune response, inflammation, and cancer progression. The absence of functional IL6R allows researchers to delineate signaling pathways and cellular responses that are otherwise activated by interleukin-6 (IL-6), thereby enhancing the understanding of various pathophysiological conditions.

The core mechanism of these knockout cell lines revolves around the lack of IL6R, which impairs the IL-6 signaling cascade. This not only facilitates studies on the receptor’s involvement in downstream effects, such as gene transcription, but also enables the evaluation of how disrupting this pathway could influence cellular behavior, including proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. This specificity is paramount for developing targeted therapies in inflammatory disorders and certain cancers.

IL6R Gene Knockout Cell Lines are crucial in both research and clinical settings; they provide a powerful model for drug discovery and biomarker development, as well as therapeutic targeting in diseases marked by aberrant IL-6 signaling pathways, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple myeloma. The ability to use these cells enables a comprehensive analysis of therapeutic agents aimed at modulating IL-6, offering a pathway towards personalized medicine.

What sets these knockout cell lines apart from similar products on the market is their high specificity and reliability, enabling reproducible results. Additionally, they are designed with robust validation processes to confirm the knockout efficiency, ensuring that researchers are working with a dependable model.

For researchers and clinicians focused on dissecting the intricacies of cytokine signaling, these IL6R Gene Knockout Cell Lines not only offer a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms but also pave the way for innovative therapeutic developments. Our company, with a strong expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, is committed to providing high-quality biological products that serve as foundational tools for advancements in biomedical research.
