Applications: Study cellular mechanisms and diseases related to CD36 knockout.Introduce further CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic manipulations in order to understand the interplay between CD36 and other partners and pathways.

Background: CD36 is a membrane glycoprotein present on platelets, mononuclear phagocytes, adipocytes, hepatocytes, myocytes, and some epithelia. On microvascular endothelial cells, CD36 is a receptor for thrombospondin-1 and related proteins and functions as a negative regulator of angiogenesis. On phagocytes, through its functions as a scavenger receptor recognizing specific oxidized phospholipids and lipoproteins, CD36 participates in internalization of apoptotic cells, certain bacterial and fungal pathogens, and modified low-density lipoproteins, thus contributing to inflammatory responses and atherothrombotic diseases. CD36 also binds long-chain fatty acids and facilitates their transport into cells, thus participating in muscle lipid utilization, adipose energy storage, and gut fat absorption and possibly contributing to the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity. CD36 in many cells is localized in specialized cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains and may also interact with other membrane receptors, such as tetraspanins and integrins. Identification of the precise CD36 signaling pathways in specific cells elicited in response to specific ligands may yield novel targets for drug development.

Description: CD36 Knockout THP-1 Cell Line is a THP-1 cell line where CD36 (Cluster of Differentiation 36) has been genetically removed from THP-1 cells using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing via the use of a lentivirus encoding CRISPR/Cas9 gene and sgRNA (single guide RNA) targeting human CD36.

Host Cell Line: THP-1, human monocyte, suspension

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

Storage Stability: Cells are shipped in dry ice and should immediately be thawed or stored in liquid nitrogen upon receipt. Do not use a -80°C freezer for long term storage. Contact technical support at support@bpsbioscience.com if the cells are not frozen in dry ice upon arrival.

Supplied As: Each vial contains ~1 x 106 cells in 1 ml of Cell Freezing Medium (BPS Bioscience #79796)

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles

Biosafety Level: BSL-1
