Gene: STAT5A
Official Full Name: signal transducer and activator of transcription 5Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT family of transcription factors. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. This protein is activated by, and mediates the responses of many cell ligands, such as IL2, IL3, IL7 GM-CSF, erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, and different growth hormones. Activation of this protein in myeloma and lymphoma associated with a TEL/JAK2 gene fusion is independent of cell stimulus and has been shown to be essential for tumorigenesis. The mouse counterpart of this gene is found to induce the expression of BCL2L1/BCL-X(L), which suggests the antiapoptotic function of this gene in cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

STAT5A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have been engineered to disrupt the expression of the STAT5A gene, a critical transcription factor involved in various cellular processes, including immune response, cell proliferation, and differentiation. By precisely inactivating STAT5A, these cell lines provide invaluable models for studying the gene's biological functions and its role in disease mechanisms, particularly in hematopoietic malignancies and other cancers.
The primary function of STAT5A is to mediate cellular signaling pathways activated by various cytokines and growth factors. Upon stimulation, STAT5A undergoes phosphorylation, leading to dimerization and nuclear translocation, where it regulates the expression of target genes involved in survival and proliferation. The gene knockout cell lines enable researchers to dissect the downstream effects of STAT5A loss, providing insights into compensatory pathways, alternative signaling routes, and the contribution of STAT5A to tumorigenesis.
Scientifically, STAT5A gene knockout cell lines are pivotal in both basic and translational research settings. They allow scientists to develop targeted therapies by elucidating the role of STAT5A in cancer and other diseases. Moreover, understanding how the absence of this gene affects cellular behavior can drive innovation in treatment strategies, particularly for conditions like leukemia and lymphoma.
Compared to traditional cell lines or those modified by knockdown techniques, knockout cell lines provide a complete and permanent loss of gene function, leading to more robust and reproducible study results. Additionally, they eliminate the variability associated with transiently silencing gene expression, thus ensuring that experimental outcomes are directly attributable to STAT5A deficiency.
The value of STAT5A gene knockout cell lines extends to researchers and clinicians alike, offering a powerful tool for discovering novel therapeutic targets and better understanding disease mechanisms. Their robustness and reliability will accelerate advancements in both basic research and clinical applications, making them an essential asset in the toolkit of any modern laboratory focused on cancer research or cellular biology.
