Fibroblasts from a patient carrying a heterozygous 18bp deletion in exon 8 of the ACVRL1 gene (c.1120del18) were reprogrammed using episomal vectors. The in-frame deletion in ACVRL1 causes the loss of 6 amino acids of the protein, which is associated with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) type 2 (Letteboer et al., 2005). CRISPR-Cas9 editing was used to genetically correct the mutation in the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The top5-predicted off-target sites were not altered. Patient and isogenic iPSCs showed high pluripotent marker expression, in vitro differentiation capacity into all three germ layers and displayed a normal karyotype. The obtained isogenic pairs will enable proper in vitro disease modelling of HHT (Roman and Hinck, 2017).
利用游离型载体对一名携带ACVRL1基因第8外显子杂合18bp缺失(c.1120del18)的患者的成纤维细胞进行重编程。ACVRL1基因的框内缺失导致该蛋白质6个氨基酸的缺失,这与2型遗传性出血性毛细血管扩张症(HHT)相关(Letteboer等人,2005年)。使用CRISPR-Cas9编辑技术对诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)中的突变进行基因校正。预测的前5个脱靶位点未发生改变。患者和同基因iPSC显示出高多能性标志物表达、体外分化为所有三个胚层的能力,并呈现正常核型。获得的同基因细胞对将有助于对HHT进行合适的体外疾病建模(Roman和Hinck,2017年)。
