The ε4 allele of the Apolipoprotein E gene (APOE4) continues to be the strongest genetic risk factor associated with sporadic Alzheimer's disease since its discovery compared to the most common ε3 allele. Nevertheless, there is a lack of APOE4-mutant human neuronal models in vitroor in vivo. Hence, we presented an iPSC line of an APOE-ε4/ε4 alleles carrier, a male donor suffering from Alzheimer's disease combined with cerebral infarction. The established iPSC line showed standard characteristics of pluripotency. Collectively, the present study provides a useful resource to reveal the phenotype and explore the mechanism of APOE4 related Alzheimer's disease.
载脂蛋白 E 基因(APOE)的 ε4 等位基因(APOE4)是目前发现的与散发性阿尔茨海默病最相关的最强遗传风险因素,与最常见的 ε3 等位基因相比。然而,目前在体外或体内缺乏 APOE4 突变的人类神经元模型。因此,我们提供了一名携带 APOE-ε4/ε4 等位基因的阿尔茨海默病合并脑梗死男性供体的 iPSC 系。已建立的 iPSC 系表现出多能性的标准特征。总之,本研究为揭示 APOE4 相关阿尔茨海默病的表型和探讨其机制提供了有用的资源。
