Gene: NDRG4
Official Full Name: NDRG family member 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein that is required for cell cycle progression and survival in primary astrocytes and may be involved in the regulation of mitogenic signalling in vascular smooth muscles cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcripts encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

NDRG4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines wherein the NDRG4 gene has been specifically disrupted through advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology. NDRG4, or N-myc downstream-regulated gene 4, is implicated in various biological processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and the response to stress, making it a significant subject of study in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The knockout of this gene helps researchers elucidate its biological functions and potential roles in disease pathways.
The primary mechanism through which NDRG4 gene knockout exerts its effects is by inhibiting the downstream signaling responsible for the regulation of cell growth and apoptosis. By providing a model for studying the absence of NDRG4, these cell lines facilitate the exploration of altered cell behavior, such as changes in drug sensitivity and cellular toxicity. This is particularly critical in oncology research, where understanding tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes is essential for the development of targeted therapies.
The scientific importance of NDRG4 gene knockout cell lines lies in their applications in both fundamental research and clinical settings. They are valuable tools for drug discovery, enabling researchers to test the efficacy of new compounds in cell models that closely mimic real-life cellular environments. Additionally, they support the investigation of NDRG4's role in specific diseases, providing insights that drive the development of innovative therapeutic strategies.
Compared to traditional methods of gene expression alteration, NDRG4 gene knockout cell lines offer distinct advantages, including specificity, efficiency, and reproducibility. Unlike RNA interference techniques, which may result in partial knockdowns, CRISPR/Cas9 knockout leads to complete gene disruption, thereby providing clearer insights into gene-function relationships. Moreover, these cell lines can be easily scaled or modified further, offering flexibility for various experimental designs.
For researchers and clinicians focusing on genetic regulation, tumor biology, and therapeutic development, NDRG4 gene knockout cell lines serve as an invaluable resource. They present a unique platform to advance knowledge in cell signaling pathways and facilitate discoveries that contribute to patient care improvement.
