Background
Nectin-4 is part of the Nectin family and plays a crucial role in cell adhesion. Nectin-4 contains two immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains and one Ig-like V-type domain. In contrast to other Nectins, which are found extensively in adult tissues, Nectin-4 is abundant during fetal development but declines in adult life. Its expression, however, returns specifically in lung, breast, pancreas and ovarian cancers. It was shown that Nectin-4 can modulate the expression of epithelial–mesenchymal transition-related proteins via the PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) /AKT (protein B kinase) pathway. In addition, a recent study demonstrated that Nectin-4 is a cancer-specific TIGIT ligand, and its expression is also associated with poor prognostic features, suggesting it could be an efficient target for cancer immunotherapy. In 2019, the FDA approved Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv, which is a Nectin-4-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC) used in treating metastatic urothelial cancer.
Description
Nectin-4 Knockout MCF7 Cell Line is an MCF7 breast cancer cell line in which human Nectin-4 has been genetically removed using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing with a lentivirus encoding CRISPR/Cas9 gene and sgRNA (single guide RNA) targeting human Nectin-4.This cell line has been validated by genomic sequencing and flow cytometry.Purchase of this cell line is for research purposes only; commercial use requires a separate license.
