Our previous study found that mutations in the PTGIS gene contributed high susceptibility to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We have generated disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from a PAH patient carrying the heterozygous c.1339 G > A mutation in PTGIS gene. The generated iPSC lines can be differentiated into endothelial cells to investigate the pathogenesis of PAH associated with PTGIS gene, which could provide valuable resources for personalized medicine.
我们之前的研究发现,PTGIS基因突变会导致肺动脉高压(PAH)的易感性增加。我们从一名携带PTGIS基因杂合c.1339 G>A突变的PAH患者身上生成了疾病特异性诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)系。所生成的iPSC系可分化为内皮细胞,以研究与PTGIS基因相关的PAH发病机制,这可为个性化医疗提供有价值的资源。
