A 62-year old Chinese Han Alzheimer's disease (AD) female patient with ApoE3/4 genetic background donated her Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The non-integrating episomal vector system was used to reprogrammed PBMCs with the human OKSM transcription factors. The pluripotency of transgene-free iPSCs was confirmed by immunocytochemistry for pluripotency markers and by the ability of the iPSCs to differentiate spontaneously into 3 germ layers in vitro. In addition, the iPSC line displayed a normal karyotype. Our model might offer a good platform to further study the pathological mechanisms, to identify early biomarkers, and also for drug testing studies in AD.
一名62岁具有ApoE3/4基因背景的中国汉族阿尔茨海默病(AD)女性患者捐赠了她的外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)。使用非整合附加型载体系统,用人OKSM转录因子对PBMC进行重编程。通过免疫细胞化学检测多能性标志物以及iPSC在体外自发分化为三个胚层的能力,证实了无转基因iPSC的多能性。此外,该iPSC系显示出正常的核型。我们的模型可能为进一步研究病理机制、鉴定早期生物标志物以及进行AD药物测试研究提供一个良好的平台。
