Fibroblasts isolated from a skin biopsy of a healthy individual were infected with Sendai virus containing the Yamanaka factors to produce transgene-free human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). CRISPR/Cas9 was used to generate an isogenic cell line carrying an inactivation of ST3GAL3, a risk gene associated with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. This ST3GAL3 null mutant (ST3GAL3-/-) iPSC line, which displays the expression of pluripotency-associated markers, the ability to differentiate into cells of the three germ layers in vitro, and a normal karyotype, is a powerful tool to investigate the impact of deficient sialylation of glycoproteins in neural development and plasticity.
从健康个体的皮肤活检中分离出的成纤维细胞,用含有山中因子的仙台病毒感染,以产生无转基因的人诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)。利用CRISPR/Cas9技术构建了一个携带ST3GAL3基因失活的同基因细胞系,ST3GAL3是一种与神经发育和精神疾病相关的风险基因。该ST3GAL3基因敲除突变体(ST3GAL3-/-)iPSC系,表现出多能性相关标志物的表达、体外分化为三个胚层细胞的能力以及正常的核型,是研究神经发育和可塑性中糖蛋白唾液酸化缺陷影响的有力工具。
