PARG Knockout HeLa Cell Line

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Applications:

• Use as a negative control when testing PARG inhibitors in HeLa cells.
• Study the phenotype of PARG knockout.
• Introduce further CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic manipulations in order to understand the interplay between PARG and other partners and pathways.

Background: Poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is a catabolic enzyme involved in the degradation of PARylated chains, releasing ADP-ribose and oligo (ADP-ribose) chains. PAR (poly-ADP ribosylation) homeostasis is regulated by the family of PAR polymerases (PARPs) and PARG in response to cellular stress conditions such as DNA damage response (DDR). PARG activity is linked to cellular responses in inflammation, ischemia, stroke, and cancer. PARG is overexpressed in breast cancer and associated with tumor growth and survival. Decrease in PARG activity can potentiate the effect of current cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiation, making PARG inhibition with selective inhibitors a promising approach in cancer and immunotherapy.

Description: PARG Knockout HeLa Cell Line is a HeLa cell line in which PARG (Poly ADP-ribose glycohydrolase) has been genetically removed using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing with a lentivirus encoding CRISPR/Cas9 gene and sgRNA (single guide RNA) targeting human PARG.

Mycoplasma Testing: The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
