Transcriptomics of a KDELR1 knockout cell line reveals modulated cell adhesion properties.

ABSTRACT: KDEL receptors (KDELRs) represent transmembrane proteins of the secretory pathway which regulate the retention of soluble ER-residents as well as retrograde and anterograde vesicle trafficking. In addition, KDELRs are involved in the regulation of cellular stress response and ECM degradation. For a deeper insight into KDELR1 specific functions, we characterised a KDELR1-KO cell line (HAP1) through whole transcriptome analysis by comparing KDELR1-KO cells with its respective HAP1 wild-type. Our data indicate more than 300 significantly and differentially expressed genes whose gene products are mainly involved in developmental processes such as cell adhesion and ECM composition, pointing out to severe cellular disorders due to a loss of KDELR1.
