The FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a pivotal role in hematopoiesis, particularly in the proliferation and differentiation of early hematopoietic cells. FLT3 is expressed on the surface of stem cells and early progenitor cells, and its activation leads to downstream signaling pathways that promote cell growth and survival. Mutations in the FLT3 gene, such as internal tandem duplications (ITDs) and point mutations, are associated with various hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These mutations result in constitutive activation of the FLT3 receptor, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis. The CHO-K1 cell line, derived from the Chinese hamster ovary, is a widely used host for the production of recombinant proteins due to its high expression levels and well-characterized genetics. When engineered to stably express the FLT3 receptor, the CHO-K1 cell line becomes a valuable model for studying the function of FLT3 and its role in disease. This stable cell line allows researchers to investigate the effects of FLT3 activation, the impact of FLT3 inhibitors, and the mechanisms by which FLT3 mutations contribute to oncogenesis. It also serves as a platform for drug screening and the development of targeted therapies for FLT3-driven cancers.
The FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) gene is a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis and is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other hematological malignancies. The Monkey FLT3 Stable Cell Line - CHO-K1, which expresses the human FLT3 gene, is a valuable tool for studying FLT3 signaling and its role in disease. (1)Drug Discovery and Development: This cell line is used to screen for and develop FLT3 inhibitors, which are potential therapeutic agents for AML and other FLT3-driven cancers. The cell line's ability to respond to FLT3 activation allows researchers to evaluate the efficacy and specificity of new compounds. (2)Functional Studies of FLT3 Mutations: The CHO-K1 cell line can be utilized to study the effects of various FLT3 mutations, including internal tandem duplications (ITDs) and point mutations, on cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and survival. This helps in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying FLT3-associated diseases. (3)Gene Therapy Research: The FLT3 Stable Cell Line can serve as a model for investigating the potential of gene therapy approaches, such as RNA interference or CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, to target and silence the FLT3 gene in cancer cells.
Customer Q&As
What makes the Monkey FLT3 Stable Cell Line - CHO-K1 a reliable model for studying FLT3 signaling in a non-human primate context?

A: This cell line mirrors the FLT3 receptor's expression and signaling in a primate context, allowing for cross-species comparisons of FLT3-mediated cellular processes and responses to FLT3 inhibitors.

How can one assess the impact of FLT3 ligand binding on cellular proliferation using the Monkey FLT3 Stable Cell Line - CHO-K1?

A: By treating the cells with recombinant FLT3 ligand and measuring proliferation rates using assays like MTT or cell counting, the proliferative response to ligand stimulation can be quantified.

Can the Monkey FLT3 Stable Cell Line - CHO-K1 be used to screen for mutations that confer resistance to FLT3 inhibitors?

A: Yes, by introducing mutations known to cause resistance and treating cells with various inhibitors, one can assess the efficacy of the drugs against the mutated receptors.

What are the best methods to verify the stable expression of FLT3 in the Monkey FLT3 Stable Cell Line - CHO-K1 over successive passages?

A: Regular testing using flow cytometry or Western blot to confirm the expression of FLT3 at the cell surface or protein level, respectively, is recommended.

How does the Monkey FLT3 Stable Cell Line - CHO-K1 facilitate the development of FLT3-targeted therapies in leukemia research?

A: It provides a relevant biological system to test the efficacy of novel FLT3 inhibitors or to study the mechanism of action and resistance, which is critical in the development of targeted leukemia therapies.
