The STAT1 gene encodes the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 protein, a key member of the STAT protein family. This gene plays a crucial role in mediating various cellular responses to cytokines and growth factors. When these ligands bind to their corresponding receptors, the receptor-associated kinase phosphorylates the STAT1 protein, which subsequently forms homo- or hetero-dimers. These dimers translocate to the nucleus and act as transcriptional activators to regulate gene expression. STAT1 is activated by a variety of ligands, including interferon-α, interferon-γ, EGF, PDGF, and IL6. This activation is essential for cell viability, immune responses to viral, fungal, and mycobacterial pathogens, and a variety of other cellular processes. STAT1 mutations are associated with several immunodeficiency diseases, such as immunodeficiency 31A, 31B, and 31C. These mutations can result in either loss- or gain-of-function, each resulting in different clinical manifestations. Loss-of-function mutations hamper the immune system's ability to respond to infection, leading to increased susceptibility to viral and bacterial pathogens. In contrast, gain-of-function mutations are often associated with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), leading to an overstimulated immune response, resulting in recurrent infections, often involving Candida species, and are frequently associated with other autoimmune diseases.
The human STAT1 knockout cell line - HEK293 provides a valuable model for biological and medical research. The following are the main applications of this cell line: Signal Transduction Studies: STAT1 protein plays a key role in the cellular response to cytokines and growth factors through the JAK-STAT pathway. Using STAT1 knockout HEK293 cells, researchers can study signaling mechanisms and pathway alterations in the absence of STAT1, gaining insight into the role of STAT1 in cellular processes. Cancer Research and Drug Development: Given STAT1's involvement in tumor suppression and immune response regulation, STAT1 knockout cells are essential for understanding cancer cell behavior. These cells help determine the effects of STAT1 loss on tumorigenesis and test new anticancer drugs that target STAT-related pathways. Infectious Disease and Immunology Research: STAT1 is essential in mediating the cellular response to viral and bacterial infections. Researchers use STAT1 knockout HEK293 cells to study how STAT1 loss affects immune responses, pathogen replication, and the effectiveness of antiviral treatments. Gene Expression and Regulation: By examining changes in gene expression in STAT1 knockout cells, scientists can identify STAT1-dependent genes and regulatory networks. This helps map the transcriptional landscape affected by STAT1 and understand its role in gene regulation under various physiological and pathological conditions.
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.

Good experimental results

By studying STAT1 knockout cells, we can observe how the absence of STAT1 affects cancer cell growth, invasion, and response to therapy. I recommend Creative Biogene'cell line.
