Juvenile nephronophthisis is an inherited renal ciliopathy, causing cystic kidney disease, renal fibrosis, and end-stage renal failure. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines, derived from two Juvenile nephronophthisis patients, were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by episomal plasmid vectors. Generated hiPSC lines showed self-renewal and pluripotency and carried a large deletion in NPHP1 (Nephrocystin 1) gene. Since the molecular pathogenesis caused by NPHP1 dysfunction remains unclear, these cell resources provide useful tools to establish disease models and to develop new therapies for juvenile nephronophthisis.
青少年肾单位肾痨是一种遗传性肾纤毛病,可导致多囊肾病、肾纤维化和终末期肾衰竭。通过游离质粒载体从两名青少年肾单位肾痨患者的外周血单个核细胞中生成了人诱导多能干细胞(hiPSC)系。生成的hiPSC系表现出自我更新和多能性,并且在NPHP1(肾囊肿蛋白1)基因中存在大片段缺失。由于NPHP1功能障碍引起的分子发病机制仍不清楚,这些细胞资源为建立疾病模型和开发青少年肾单位肾痨的新疗法提供了有用的工具。
