WNT5A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: WNT5A

Official Full Name: Wnt family member 5Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes which encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. This gene encodes a member of the WNT family that signals through both the canonical and non-canonical WNT pathways. This protein is a ligand for the seven transmembrane receptor frizzled-5 and the tyrosine kinase orphan receptor 2. This protein plays an essential role in regulating developmental pathways during embryogenesis. This protein may also play a role in oncogenesis. Mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal dominant Robinow syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Background

WNT5A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models designed to lack the expression of the WNT5A gene, a critical component in the Wnt signaling pathway associated with numerous biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. These cell lines serve as essential tools for researchers seeking to elucidate the roles of WNT5A in various physiological and pathological contexts, including cancer progression and tissue homeostasis.

The primary function of WNT5A Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide insights into the functional consequences of WNT5A loss. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology or other gene-editing techniques, these cell lines are meticulously engineered to exhibit a complete knockout of the WNT5A gene, enabling researchers to investigate the downstream signaling pathways and cellular behaviors altered in its absence. This is particularly advantageous in cancer biology, where the dysregulation of WNT signaling has been implicated in tumor development and metastasis.

The scientific importance of these cell lines cannot be overstated; they are invaluable in both research and clinical settings. In academic laboratories, they facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets and the development of Wnt-pathway inhibitors, enriching our understanding of their roles in diseases. Clinicians benefit by understanding the implications of WNT5A in disease states, paving the way for more tailored therapeutic approaches.

Compared to conventional models, WNT5A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer several advantages, including precise genetic manipulation, reproducibility, and the ability to model complex biological systems with high fidelity. This specificity provides a clear advantage over models with incomplete knockouts or off-target effects, ensuring that the observed results are solely due to WNT5A depletion.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the WNT5A Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant leap towards unraveling the complexities of Wnt signaling in health and disease. Their utilization can lead to groundbreaking discoveries that translate into viable therapeutic strategies.
