Early onset isolated dystonia (DYT1) is a hereditary neurological movement disease caused by a single amino-acid deletion in torsin A (TOR1A), a gene encoding a membrane-embedded ATPase. In this study, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from fibroblasts of a DYT1 patient by the retroviral transduction of Yamanaka factors. The iPSCs retained the heterozygous TOR1A mutation (p.Glu303del), showed a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers and exhibited the potential to differentiate into three germ layers both in vitro and in vivo. This DYT1 patient-specific iPSC will be used for modeling the dystonia pathophysiology and probably drug screening.
早发性特发性肌张力障碍(DYT1)是一种遗传性神经系统运动疾病,由编码膜结合 ATP 酶的 torsin A(TOR1A)基因中单个氨基酸缺失引起。在这项研究中,我们通过逆转录病毒转导 Yamanaka 因子,从 DYT1 患者的成纤维细胞中产生了一个诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)系。iPSC 保留了杂合 TOR1A 突变(p.Glu303del),具有正常的核型,表达多能性标记物,并具有在体外和体内分化为三个胚层的潜能。这种 DYT1 患者特异性 iPSC 将用于建模肌张力障碍的病理生理学,可能还用于药物筛选。
