TREX1 knockout NF-κB-SEAP and IRF-Lucia luciferase reporter monocytes
THP1-Dual™ KO-TREX1 cells were generated from THP1-Dual™ cells by stable knockout of the TREX1 gene. TREX1 (also known as DNAse III) is a major cellular 3'5' exonuclease that plays a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis [1,2]. These cell lines were derived from human THP‑1 monocytes, a cell line often used to study DNA sensing pathways as they express all the cytosolic DNA sensors identified so far (with the exception of DAI).
THP1-Dual™ and THP1-Dual™ KO-TREX1 cells stably express two inducible secreted reporter genes: IFN-inducible Lucia luciferase and NF‑κB-inducible SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase). They can be used to study the role of TREX1 by monitoring IRF-induced Lucia luciferase activity, using QUANTI‑Luc™, a Lucia™ luciferase detection reagent.
THP1-Dual™ KO-TREX1 cells are resistant to the selectable markers blasticidin and Zeocin®.

Description
THP1-Dual™ and THP1-Dual™ KO-TREX1 cells stably express two inducible secreted reporter genes: Lucia luciferase and SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase). The Lucia luciferase reporter gene is under the control of an ISG54 (interferon-stimulated gene) minimal promoter in conjunction with five IFN-stimulated response elements. The SEAP gene is driven by an IFN-β minimal promoter fused to five copies of the NF‑κB response element. As a result, they allow the simultaneous study of the IFN regulatory factor (IRF) pathway, by assessing the activity of Lucia luciferase and the NF-κB pathway, by monitoring the activity of SEAP. Both reporter proteins are readily measurable in the cell culture supernatant when using QUANTI‑Luc™, a Lucia™ luciferase detection reagent and QUANTI-Blue™, a SEAP detection reagent.
THP1-Dual™ KO-TREX1 and THP1-Dual™ cells can be used to study the role of TREX1 by monitoring IRF-induced Lucia luciferase activity.
