As a member of the single-fluorophore genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs), jGCaMP7f is widely applied to investigate intracellular Ca concentrations. Here, we established an INS-jGCaMP7f knock-in H1 human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line by integrating jGCaMP7f gene into insulin locus via CRISPR/Cas9 system. The reporter cell line not only effectively labelled the insulin-producing cells induced from hESC, but also reflected the cytosolic change of Ca level in response to different stimuli. This reporter cell line is a valuable research tool for studying functional maturation of hESC-derived insulin-producing cells, conducting drug screenings, and exploring the mechanisms of diabetes.
作为单荧光团基因编码钙指示剂(GECIs)的一员,jGCaMP7f被广泛应用于研究细胞内钙浓度。在此,我们通过CRISPR/Cas9系统将jGCaMP7f基因整合到胰岛素基因座,建立了INS-jGCaMP7f敲入H1人胚胎干细胞(hESC)系。该报告细胞系不仅能有效标记由hESC诱导产生的胰岛素分泌细胞,还能反映不同刺激下细胞溶质钙水平的变化。该报告细胞系是研究hESC来源的胰岛素分泌细胞功能成熟、进行药物筛选以及探索糖尿病发病机制的宝贵研究工具。
