Safety and Packaging
| Cat. No. | CSC-RO0223 |
| Product Type | Cas9 overexpression stable cell line |
| Introduction | Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 is a gene-editing technology that contains two essential components: a guide RNA (gRNA) to match a target gene, and the Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) endonuclease which causes a double-stranded DNA break, allowing modifications to the genome via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR). |
| Cell Line Information | 786-O-Cas9 cell line is engineered to stably overexpress Cas9 nuclease. The Cas9 nuclease in 786-O-Cas9 cell line has been functionally validated using T7 Endonuclease I assay. In combination with separately transfected sgRNAs, 786-O-Cas9 cell line can be used to efficiently generate targeted genomic modifications including gene knockout, gene knockin, gene mutagenesis, gene tagging etc. It is also an ideal cell line model for sgRNA screening and validation, either individually or in pools. |

| Safety Considerations |
The following safety precautions should be observed. 1. Use pipette aids to prevent ingestion and keep aerosols down to a minimum. 2. No eating, drinking or smoking while handling the stable line. 3. Wash hands after handling the stable line and before leaving the lab. 4. Decontaminate work surface with disinfectant or 70% ethanol before and after working with stable cells. 5. All waste should be considered hazardous. 6. Dispose of all liquid waste after each experiment and treat with bleach. |

Applications
The Cas9 Stable Cell Line - 786-O is a renal cell carcinoma cell line engineered to stably express the Cas9 endonuclease, an enzyme that enables precise gene editing. This cell line is particularly beneficial for research in gene function, cancer biology, and the development of targeted therapies for kidney cancer.
（1）Functional Genomics of Renal Cancer:
The 786-O Cas9 Stable Cell Line is used to investigate the genomic landscape of renal cell carcinoma. Researchers can perform genome-wide screens to identify genes that drive cancer growth or are involved in drug resistance, leading to a better understanding of renal cancer biology and the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
（2）Personalized Medicine Approaches:
By utilizing the Cas9 system to edit the genome of 786-O cells, researchers can model specific genetic mutations found in patient tumors. This allows for the testing of personalized treatment strategies, potentially leading to more effective and tailored therapies for kidney cancer patients.
（3）Drug Screening and Development:
The Cas9 expression in 786-O cells facilitates the screening of compounds for their potential to inhibit kidney cancer cell growth or induce apoptosis. By knocking out or modifying genes associated with cancer progression, researchers can assess the efficacy of potential drugs and identify new molecular targets for cancer therapy.
