IL6ST Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IL6ST

Official Full Name: interleukin 6 cytokine family signal transducerprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a signal transducer shared by many cytokines, including interleukin 6 (IL6), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and oncostatin M (OSM). This protein functions as a part of the cytokine receptor complex. The activation of this protein is dependent upon the binding of cytokines to their receptors. vIL6, a protein related to IL6 and encoded by the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, can bypass the interleukin 6 receptor (IL6R) and directly activate this protein. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this gene plays a critical role in regulating myocyte apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Background

IL6ST Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a groundbreaking tool in cellular biology, specifically designed to facilitate the study of interleukin-6 signaling and its implications in various health conditions. These cell lines are engineered using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology to disrupt the IL6ST gene, which encodes the signal transducer component of the interleukin-6 receptor complex. By employing these knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively investigate the pathways regulated by IL-6, a cytokine implicated in inflammation, immune response, and oncogenesis.

The primary function of the IL6ST gene knockout cell lines is to enable researchers to elucidate the biological role of interleukin-6 signaling and its downstream effects on cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The loss of IL6ST expression leads to a complete abrogation of IL-6 mediated signaling, offering a unique model to assess how this pathway contributes to pathologies like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

From a scientific perspective, these knockout cell lines have garnered considerable attention within both academic and clinical research settings. They serve as invaluable tools to explore therapeutic targets for drug development, allowing for the high-throughput screening of potential IL-6 inhibitors. Furthermore, they can aid in identifying biomarkers for patient stratification in therapeutic interventions targeting the IL-6 pathway.

One of the distinct advantages of our IL6ST gene knockout cell lines is their reliability and reproducibility compared to alternative models that may rely on transient knockdown methodologies. The stable expression of the knockout phenotype ensures consistent results over extended periods, facilitating long-term experimental studies and enabling the comparative analysis of cell behavior in controlled environments.

For researchers and clinicians, the availability of these specialized cell lines opens new avenues for innovative research, enhancing the understanding of IL-6's role in various diseases. The precise knockout also provides clarity in experimental interpretation, making it easier to draw meaningful conclusions from studies designed to investigate therapeutic mechanisms.

Our company, with years of expertise in developing high-quality biological tools, is committed to providing researchers with reliable products that push the boundaries of scientific discovery. The IL6ST gene knockout cell lines exemplify our dedication to enhancing research capabilities and advancing the understanding of critical biological pathways.
