Gene: WRN
Official Full Name: WRN RecQ like helicaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

WRN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models that have undergone targeted disruption of the WRN gene, which encodes for the Werner syndrome ATP-dependent helicase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in DNA metabolism, particularly in the maintenance of genomic stability and the repair of DNA damage. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or other gene-editing techniques, these cell lines facilitate the study of WRN’s function in cellular processes and its implications in aging and age-related diseases.
The mechanisms of these cell lines are centered on the loss of WRN helicase activity, leading to impaired DNA repair pathways, increased genomic instability, and acceleration of senescence. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to monitor the effects of WRN knockout on cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and stress responses, thus elucidating the biological roles of WRN in cellular aging and tumorigenesis.
WRN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in both basic research and clinical settings, providing insights for developing therapeutic strategies against diseases that involve aberrant DNA repair mechanisms, such as cancer and Werner syndrome. The precise elimination of the WRN gene presents a unique opportunity to model the biochemical pathways that underpin these conditions, facilitating drug discovery and personalized medicine approaches.
