ABCA7, located on chromosome 19, encodes an ATP-binding cassette transporter. Loss-of-function variants of ABCA7 are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. To explore the role of ABCA7 deficiency in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technology was utilized to generate a homozygous ABCA7 knockout in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The resulting ABCA7 knockout cell line exhibited normal pluripotency, a stable karyotype, and the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers.
ABCA7位于19号染色体上,编码一种ATP结合盒转运蛋白。ABCA7的功能丧失变体与阿尔茨海默病风险增加有关。为了探究ABCA7缺陷在阿尔茨海默病发病机制中的作用,利用CRISPR/Cas9基因组编辑技术在人诱导多能干细胞(hiPSC)中产生纯合ABCA7基因敲除。所得的ABCA7基因敲除细胞系表现出正常的多能性、稳定的核型以及分化为所有三个胚层的能力。
