MIR183 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MIR183

Official Full Name: microRNA 183provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Background

MIR183 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have undergone targeted genetic modification to disrupt the expression of the MIR183 gene, a critical microRNA implicated in various biological processes and disease states. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for researchers aiming to elucidate the specific roles of MIR183 in cellular signaling, differentiation, and disease mechanisms such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

The key functions of the MIR183 Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolve around their ability to provide a controlled environment in which the effects of MIR183 silencing can be examined. Through techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, these cell lines exhibit complete or selective loss of MIR183, allowing researchers to investigate downstream effects on gene expression profiles, cellular behavior, and molecular pathways that might be influenced by this microRNA. By observing how these knockout cells respond to various stimuli, scientists can better comprehend the functional roles of MIR183 in pathology and physiology.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their application in both research and clinical settings. They are particularly useful in cancer research, where the dysregulation of microRNAs often correlates with tumorigenesis and metastasis. Furthermore, these knockout models can help identify potential therapeutic targets and aid in the development of novel treatment strategies, thus bridging the gap between basic research and clinical application.

Compared to alternative models, MIR183 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a specificity of function, as they allow for direct observation of the absence of MIR183’s effects without the potential confounding influence of other gene background expressions. This level of precision is critical for understanding microRNA functionality, thereby providing a clearer pathway to therapeutic innovations.

For researchers, clinicians, and institutions focused on the interplay between microRNAs and complex diseases, MIR183 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement. They facilitate more robust experimental designs and deeper insights into molecular targets, enhancing the strategic development of biotherapeutics.
