PIK3R5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PIK3R5

Official Full Name: phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 5provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) phosphorylate the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol at the 3-prime position, and play important roles in cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival and intracellular trafficking. The PI3Ks are divided into three classes: I, II and III, and only the class I PI3Ks are involved in oncogenesis. This gene encodes the 101 kD regulatory subunit of the class I PI3K gamma complex, which is a dimeric enzyme, consisting of a 110 kD catalytic subunit gamma and a regulatory subunit of either 55, 87 or 101 kD. This protein recruits the catalytic subunit from the cytosol to the plasma membrane through high-affinity interaction with G-beta-gamma proteins. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two distinct isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Background

PIK3R5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models specifically designed to study the biological effects and functional roles of the PIK3R5 gene, which encodes the p55γ regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). By creating targeted knockouts of this gene, researchers can analyze changes in signaling pathways and cellular processes that are influenced by the functional loss of this critical enzyme component. These cell lines facilitate the investigation of PI3K's role in various physiological and pathological contexts, including cancer progression, metabolic disorders, and immune responses.

The mechanism of action for PIK3R5 knockout cell lines is based on CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, which effectively disrupts the PIK3R5 gene, leading to a decrease or complete loss in its protein expression. This functional knockout allows researchers to delineate the downstream effects on cell growth, survival, and differentiation, offering insights into the precise roles of PI3K signaling in normal and disease states.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both basic and translational research settings. Their applications range from studying the molecular underpinnings of diseases where PI3K activity is altered to screening potential therapeutic agents that can modulate these pathways. By leveraging these models, researchers can more efficiently identify novel targets for drug development and elucidate disease mechanisms.

Compared to traditional cell lines, the PIK3R5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their precise alteration of the PI3K pathway, enhanced reproducibility in experimental conditions, and the ability to mimic physiological states more accurately. This results in higher quality data that is more relevant for clinical research and therapeutic insights.

The value of PIK3R5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to empower researchers and clinicians to better understand the importance of PI3K signaling in health and disease, leading to improved strategies for diagnosis and treatment.
