S100a8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: S100a8

Official Full Name: S100 calcium binding protein A8 (calgranulin A)provided by MGI

Gene Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within astrocyte development and positive regulation of peptide secretion. Predicted to be located in cytosol; extracellular space; and intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of calprotectin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including bone marrow; extraembryonic component; liver; mesometrium; and placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocarditis. Orthologous to human S100A8 (S100 calcium binding protein A8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Background

S100A8 gene knockout cell lines represent a pivotal innovation in cellular biology, specifically designed to investigate the role of the S100A8 protein, which is a member of the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins involved in various intracellular processes, including inflammation and oxidative stress responses. By knocking out the S100A8 gene, these cell lines provide a novel tool for researchers to delineate the pathways influenced by this protein and examine its implications in various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.

The mechanism underlying the function of S100A8 revolves around its ability to modulate inflammation and act as a pro-inflammatory mediator in the tumor microenvironment. The absence of S100A8 in knockout cell lines has been shown to alter key signaling pathways, including NF-κB and MAPK, revealing a complex interplay between immune response and cellular stress. These changes position S100A8 as a critical factor in the progression of several pathologies, offering significant insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

The scientific importance of S100A8 knockout cell lines is underscored by their versatility in both in vitro and in vivo applications. Researchers can utilize these specialized cell lines to study cellular behavior, drug responsiveness, and genetic interactions, enhancing our understanding of disease etiology. In clinical settings, understanding the role of S100A8 could pave the way for new biomarkers and therapeutic strategies in treating conditions associated with altered inflammatory responses.

Compared to traditional cell models, S100A8 gene knockout cell lines provide a more accurate representation of physiological conditions, allowing for high-precision experiments and reproducibility. Their specificity eliminates the confounding effects seen with non-targeted gene manipulation techniques, making them invaluable for sophisticated research outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians alike, these knockout cell lines represent a powerful resource that can lead to groundbreaking discoveries in various biomedical fields. The value in using S100A8 knockout cell lines lies not only in their ability to elucidate the role of S100A8 in cellular processes but also in their potential to uncover novel therapeutic avenues.
