Gene: PHF8
Official Full Name: PHD finger protein 8provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a histone lysine demethylase that preferentially acts on histones in the monomethyl or dimethyl states. The encoded protein requires Fe(2+) ion, 2-oxoglutarate, and oxygen for its catalytic activity. The protein has an N-terminal PHD finger and a central Jumonji C domain. This gene is thought to function as a transcription activator. Defects in this gene are a cause of syndromic X-linked Siderius type intellectual disability (MRXSSD) and over-expression of this gene is associated with several forms of cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

PHF8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically engineered to lack the functionality of the PHF8 gene, which encodes for a histone demethylase involved in the regulation of gene expression and cellular processes. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines allow researchers to explore the physiological and pathological roles of PHF8 in various biological contexts. The absence of PHF8 leads to alterations in histone methylation and subsequently affects transcriptional regulation, making these cell lines invaluable for dissecting the gene's involvement in processes such as development, cancer biology, and epigenetics.
The primary function of PHF8 knockout cell lines is to serve as a precise model for examining the physiological consequences of PHF8 deficiency. Researchers can investigate the downstream effects on cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, providing insights into how modifications in epigenetic regulation contribute to disease states. Furthermore, these models are instrumental in drug discovery and the development of targeted therapies, particularly in malignancies where PHF8 is implicated.
One of the unique advantages of PHF8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their capacity to provide a controlled environment for in-depth studies of gene function without the influence of confounding genetic variables that might be present in traditional knockdown methods. Unlike siRNA-mediated knockdown, which can result in transient and incomplete suppression, these knockout lines offer a robust and permanent solution that ensures consistent phenotypic expression. Additionally, they allow for the application of high-throughput screening methods, facilitating rapid identification of pharmacological agents that can modulate PHF8-related pathways.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of PHF8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to elucidate underlying mechanisms of action in both basic research and translational applications. The comprehensive understanding derived from studies utilizing these models can significantly contribute to advances in personalized medicine strategies aimed at targeting epigenetic modifiers.
