TNNI3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TNNI3

Official Full Name: troponin I3, cardiac typeprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Troponin I (TnI), along with troponin T (TnT) and troponin C (TnC), is one of 3 subunits that form the troponin complex of the thin filaments of striated muscle. TnI is the inhibitory subunit; blocking actin-myosin interactions and thereby mediating striated muscle relaxation. The TnI subfamily contains three genes: TnI-skeletal-fast-twitch, TnI-skeletal-slow-twitch, and TnI-cardiac. This gene encodes the TnI-cardiac protein and is exclusively expressed in cardiac muscle tissues. Mutations in this gene cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 7 (CMH7) and familial restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). Troponin I is useful in making a diagnosis of heart failure, and of ischemic heart disease. An elevated level of troponin is also now used as indicator of acute myocardial injury in patients hospitalized with moderate/severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Such elevation has also been associated with higher risk of mortality in cardiovascular disease patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Background

TNNI3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models in which the troponin I type 3 (TNNI3) gene has been selectively disrupted. This innovative product is essential for studying the role of TNNI3 in cardiac muscle contraction and related pathologies, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar gene-editing technologies, these cell lines provide a precise means of investigating how the loss of TNNI3 function influences various cellular pathways, muscle physiology, and disease mechanisms.

The key function of TNNI3 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic specific cardiac conditions in vitro, allowing researchers to dissect the molecular underpinnings of cardiac function. The knockout mechanism often leads to alterations in calcium handling, contractility, and gene expression patterns, which can be quantitatively assessed using various functional assays. This makes the TNNI3 knockout models critical tools for screening potential therapeutic agents and elucidating the cellular responses to pharmacological interventions.

In terms of scientific importance, TNNI3 knockout cell lines serve as foundational models for cardiac research, including studies on heart development, arrhythmogenesis, and myocardial response to stress. Their application extends to drug discovery, where researchers can evaluate candidate compounds that may rectify the biochemical imbalances resulting from TNNI3 loss.

One distinct advantage of these knockout cell lines is their specificity and reproducibility compared to traditional animal models. By employing human-derived cell lines, researchers can achieve more relevant insight into human disease processes, improving the translatability of their findings to clinical settings. Furthermore, the high efficiency and reliability of their generation ensure consistent performance across experiments, a feature that is often lacking in alternative models.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to deepen their understanding of cardiac function and disease mechanisms, TNNI3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer an invaluable resource. Their unique ability to simulate human cardiac pathophysiology paves the way for innovative therapeutic strategies. Our company, with a longstanding commitment to advancing genetic research tools, ensures the highest quality and technical support for all our products, empowering scientists to make profound discoveries in the field of cardiovascular health.
