By using a nonintegrating plasmid delivery system, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from the urine cells of a male patient from the family carrying the TMC1 p.M418K mutation. This mutation is homologous to that in Beethoven mice, which were treated by gene editing successfully. The resulting iPSCs had a normal karyotype, showed pluripotency by immunofluorescence staining, and differentiated into the three germ layers in vivo. This cellular model will provide a useful platform for investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of TMC1-related deafness, further laying the foundation for clinical transformation applications and providing a reference for the final gene therapy in humans.
我们使用非整合质粒传递系统,从携带 TMC1 p.M418K 突变的男性患者的尿液细胞中产生诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)。该突变与贝多芬小鼠中的突变同源,后者经基因编辑成功治疗。产生的 iPSCs 具有正常的核型,通过免疫荧光染色显示多能性,并在体内分化为三个胚层。该细胞模型将为研究 TMC1 相关耳聋的发病机制提供一个有用的平台,进一步为临床转化应用奠定基础,并为人类的最终基因治疗提供参考。
