The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) is a transmembrane receptor that plays a key role in growth and development, particularly in cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. IGF1R is widely expressed in various tissues and is activated by binding to its major ligand, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). This binding triggers autophosphorylation of the receptor, which subsequently triggers phosphorylation of intracellular substrates such as insulin receptor substrates (IRS) and Shc proteins. These events activate downstream signaling pathways, particularly the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways, which are essential for mediating the biological effects of IGF1R activation. Once activated, the PI3K/Akt pathway promotes cell survival and growth by inhibiting apoptotic processes and stimulating protein synthesis. On the other hand, the MAPK pathway affects cell division and differentiation. Due to its important role in these critical cellular functions, IGF1R has also been implicated in various pathological conditions, including cancer. Overexpression or overactivation of IGF1R has been observed in many tumor types, making it an important target for cancer therapy. Researchers are actively investigating IGF1R inhibitors and antibodies that can block its activity with the goal of developing effective cancer treatments.
1. Cancer Research: IGF1R is known to play a significant role in the proliferation, survival, and metastasis of cancer cells. By knocking out IGF1R, researchers can investigate the role and mechanisms of this receptor in various cancer types, leading to potential new therapeutic targets. 2. Drug Development and Testing: The IGF1R knockout HeLa cell line can be used to evaluate the efficacy of new anticancer drugs targeting the IGF signaling pathway. The absence of IGF1R in these cells helps to highlight the specificity and potential off-target effects of these drugs. 3. Signaling Pathway Analysis: HeLa cells with an IGF1R knockout can be utilized to dissect the IGF1 signaling pathway. By comparing these cells to wild-type HeLa cells, researchers can identify downstream effectors and alternative pathways that compensate for the loss of IGF1R. 4. Metabolic Studies: IGF1R is also implicated in metabolic regulation. Using IGF1R knockout HeLa cells, scientists can study how the absence of this receptor affects cellular metabolism, including glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism. 5. Apoptosis and Cell Survival Studies: The IGF1R pathway is known to be involved in cell survival and apoptosis (programmed cell death). IGF1R knockout HeLa cells provide a model to study the intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing these processes. 6. Immune Response and Inflammation: Some studies suggest that IGF1R is involved in modulating immune responses and inflammation. IGF1R knockout HeLa cells can help elucidate these roles by investigating how this receptor influences inflammatory signaling pathways and cytokine production, which is especially relevant in research focused on chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer.
Customer Q&As
What is the recommended growth medium? Does it require antibiotic selection?

A: DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
It is not required to add the selection antibiotics when culturing the KO cells.

How is the knockout cell line validated?

A: The knockout cell product is validated by PCR amplification and Sanger Sequencing to confirm the mutation at the genomic level. Please find the detailed mutation info in the datasheet.

Is the product a single clonal cell or mixed cell pool?

A: Single clonal cell.

Can I confirm gene knockout by RT-qPCR?

A: No. This knockout cell product is generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to induce small insertions or deletions (indels) resulting in frameshift mutations. Although these frameshift mutations typically disrupt the coding gene, there is a possibility that the non-functional transcript may still be transcribed. Consequently, this could potentially yield misleading results when analyzed by RT-qPCR.

How can I store the cell product?

A: The cell line should be stored in liquid nitrogen for long-term preservation.

Is it possible to get multiple knockout clones for my GOI?

A: For most cases, we often keep at least 2 clones with different frameshift mutations. Please feel free to contact us to check if there are additional available clones.
