PARG Knockout HeLa Cell Line is a HeLa cell line in which human PARG (Poly ADP-ribose glycohydrolase) long isoforms (PARG111, PARG102 and PARG99) have been genetically removed using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing with a lentivirus encoding CRISPR/Cas9 gene and sgRNA (single guide RNA) targeting human PARG.

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.

Storage/Stability
Cells will arrive 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 [email protected] if the cells are not frozen in dry ice upon arrival.
Growth Media
For best results, the use of validated and optimized media from BPS Bioscience is highly recommended. Other preparations or formulations of media may result in suboptimal performance.
Media Required for Cell Line Culture Thaw Medium 6 (BPS Bioscience #60183): DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin.
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.
Shipping Temperature
-80°C
