Gene: TNF
Official Full Name: tumor necrosis factorprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis ankylosing spondylitis, tuberculosis, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and cancer. Mutations in this gene affect susceptibility to cerebral malaria, septic shock, and Alzheimer disease. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of this cytokine.

TNF Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models in which the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene has been systematically disrupted using advanced gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9. This specific knockout provides researchers with invaluable insights into the role of TNF in cellular signaling pathways, inflammation, and immune response. By eliminating the gene coding for TNF, these cell lines allow for the study of TNF's contributions in various biological processes, facilitating a deeper understanding of its functions in health and disease.
The key mechanism of these knockout cell lines revolves around the absence of TNF, a pivotal cytokine involved in mediating systemic inflammation. Researchers can observe differential cellular behaviors, assess the impact on apoptosis, and evaluate changes in signaling cascades typically activated by TNF. Consequently, these models are especially crucial for investigating diseases where TNF is a significant player, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases.
From a scientific perspective, TNF Gene Knockout Cell Lines are indispensable tools in both basic and applied research. They enable scientists to dissect the intricate pathways activated by TNF and develop targeted therapeutic strategies while serving as a platform for drug testing and biomarker discovery in clinical settings.
What sets these cell lines apart from traditional models is their precise gene alteration, which offers a more accurate depiction of TNF-related pathophysiology without the compensatory mechanisms that may arise from incomplete knockdown strategies. This precision ensures enhanced reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes, making them a superior choice for rigorous scientific investigation.
