Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an incidence of 1:120,000 caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene leading to a massive cholesterol accumulation. Here, we describe the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of an affected female adult individual carrying the NPC1 mutation p.Val1023Serfs*15/p.Gly992Arg and an iPSC line from an unrelated healthy female adult control individual. Human iPSCs were derived from fibroblasts using retroviruses carrying the four reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and C-MYC. These lines provide a valuable resource for studying the pathophysiology of NPC and for pharmacological intervention.
尼曼-匹克C型病(NPC)是一种罕见的进行性神经退行性疾病,发病率为1:120,000,由NPC1或NPC2基因突变引起,导致大量胆固醇积累。在此,我们描述了携带NPC1突变p.Val1023Serfs*15/p.Gly992Arg的患病成年女性个体的诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)以及来自无关健康成年女性对照个体的iPSC系的产生。人类iPSC是使用携带四种重编程因子OCT4、SOX2、KLF4和C-MYC的逆转录病毒从成纤维细胞中获得的。这些细胞系为研究NPC的病理生理学和药物干预提供了宝贵资源。
