Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the region of the ATXN3 gene. The main feature of SCA3 is progressive ataxia, which affects balance, gait, and speech. Urine cells (UCs) of a SCA3 patient were successfully translated to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by using the Sendai virus delivery system. ZZUi004-A cell line may provide a robust platform for further study of SCA3 pathogenesis as well as drug testing and gene therapy research.
3型脊髓小脑共济失调(SCA3)是一种由ATXN3基因区域CAG重复序列扩增引起的常染色体显性遗传神经退行性疾病。SCA3的主要特征是进行性共济失调,影响平衡、步态和言语。通过使用仙台病毒递送系统,一名SCA3患者的尿液细胞(UCs)被成功重编程为诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)。ZZUi004-A细胞系可能为进一步研究SCA3发病机制以及药物测试和基因治疗研究提供一个有力的平台。
