MSR1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MSR1

Official Full Name: macrophage scavenger receptor 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the class A macrophage scavenger receptors, which include three different types (1, 2, 3) generated by alternative splicing of this gene. These receptors or isoforms are macrophage-specific trimeric integral membrane glycoproteins and have been implicated in many macrophage-associated physiological and pathological processes including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and host defense. The isoforms type 1 and type 2 are functional receptors and are able to mediate the endocytosis of modified low density lipoproteins (LDLs). The isoform type 3 does not internalize modified LDL (acetyl-LDL) despite having the domain shown to mediate this function in the types 1 and 2 isoforms. It has an altered intracellular processing and is trapped within the endoplasmic reticulum, making it unable to perform endocytosis. The isoform type 3 can inhibit the function of isoforms type 1 and type 2 when co-expressed, indicating a dominant negative effect and suggesting a mechanism for regulation of scavenger receptor activity in macrophages.

Background

MSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are highly specialized cell lines engineered to lack the expression of the MSR1 gene, which encodes the macrophage scavenger receptor 1. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for elucidating the role of the MSR1 gene in various biological processes, including lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, and the physiology of macrophages within the immune system. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines enable precise gene deletions, allowing researchers to explore the impact of MSR1 on cellular behavior and disease mechanisms.

The key functions of MSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolve around their ability to provide insights into the macrophage response to pathogens, their role in chronic inflammatory diseases, and their interaction with apoptotic cells. The absence of the MSR1 gene facilitates investigations into reactive oxygen species modulation, cytokine production, and the overall impact of macrophage dysfunction in models of atherogenesis and diabetes. This makes these cell lines essential for both basic research and the development of therapeutics.

In research and clinical settings, the scientific importance of MSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated. They provide a robust platform for examining the complexities of immune response mechanisms, which have significant implications in understanding diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and metabolic syndrome. The ability to investigate gene function in a controlled environment enables more accurate interpretation of data and underpins hypotheses regarding macrophage biology.

One of the distinctive advantages of these cell lines is their tailored nature, specifically designed to investigate the unique role of the MSR1 gene, distinguishing them from other generic knockout lines that might lack specificity. This specificity affords researchers the confidence to translate findings into clinical relevance, minimizing the variability often encountered with other cellular systems.

For researchers and clinicians striving to advance our understanding of macrophage function and its implications in health and disease, MSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable resource. Their ability to directly link genotype to phenotype in critically relevant cell types makes them indispensable in the ongoing quest for discovery in immunology and related therapeutic areas.
