A 39-year old healthy female with a family history of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and two copies of apolipoprotein E(APOE) ε4 allele donated her Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The non-integrative Sendai viral vectors used to reprogram PBMCs with the human OKSM transcription factors. The pluripotency of iPSCs was confirmed by immunocytochemistry and ability of differentiation spontaneously into 3 germ layers. Furthermore, the iPSC line displayed a normal karyotype. The APOE gene is currently considered to be the most relevant gene for sporadic AD. Our model might offer a platform to study the pathological mechanisms and drug testing studies in AD.
一名39岁、有阿尔茨海默病(AD)家族史且携带两份载脂蛋白E(APOE)ε4等位基因拷贝的健康女性捐赠了她的外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)。使用非整合型仙台病毒载体,利用人类OKSM转录因子对PBMC进行重编程。通过免疫细胞化学以及诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)自发分化为三个胚层的能力,证实了iPSC的多能性。此外,该iPSC系显示出正常的核型。APOE基因目前被认为是散发性AD最相关的基因。我们的模型可能为研究AD的病理机制和药物测试研究提供一个平台。
