Gene: SMAD3
Official Full Name: SMAD family member 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The SMAD family of proteins are a group of intracellular signal transducer proteins similar to the gene products of the Drosophila gene 'mothers against decapentaplegic' (Mad) and the C. elegans gene Sma. The SMAD3 protein functions in the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway, and transmits signals from the cell surface to the nucleus, regulating gene activity and cell proliferation. This protein forms a complex with other SMAD proteins and binds DNA, functioning both as a transcription factor and tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene are associated with aneurysms-osteoarthritis syndrome and Loeys-Dietz Syndrome 3. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

SMAD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced cellular models specifically engineered to lack the SMAD3 gene, a pivotal player in the TGF-β signaling pathway. These cell lines are invaluable tools for researchers investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying cell differentiation, immune responses, and cancer progression, as SMAD3 is known to mediate the biological effects of TGF-β, influencing pathways associated with fibrosis and tumorigenesis.
The core function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide unique insights into the role of SMAD3 in cellular processes. By eliminating SMAD3, researchers can study the consequences of disrupted TGF-β signaling, enabling them to discern its effects on cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This mechanistic analysis not only enhances our understanding of normal physiological processes but also helps elucidate pathological conditions like metastatic cancer and fibrotic diseases.
Scientifically, SMAD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines play a crucial role in both basic and applied research, serving as models in drug discovery and development, as well as in preclinical assessments of novel therapeutic strategies targeting TGF-β signaling. Their specific use cases include investigating how restoring or inhibiting SMAD3 function can rectify abnormal cell behaviors, thus providing a platform for potential clinical interventions.
Compared to alternatives such as wild-type or non-targeted crisper-edited lines, SMAD3 knockout models offer unparalleled specificity and reliability, as these models are rigorously tested to confirm the absence of SMAD3 at both the genetic and protein levels. This specificity allows for cleaner experimental designs and more robust data interpretations.
For researchers and clinicians dedicated to uncovering the nuances of SMAD3's role in health and disease, these cell lines represent a critical asset. They facilitate advanced studies which could lead to breakthroughs in therapeutic approaches for a variety of conditions influenced by TGF-β signaling.
