Establishment of SIAISi002-A, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from 39-year old healthy female donor with a family history of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and two copies of APOE4 gene
Summary
A 39-year old healthy female with a family history of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and two copies of apolipoprotein E(APOE) ε4 allele donated her Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The non-integrative Sendai viral vectors used to reprogram PBMCs with the human OKSM transcription factors. The pluripotency of iPSCs was confirmed by immunocytochemistry and ability of differentiation spontaneously into 3 germ layers. Furthermore, the iPSC line displayed a normal karyotype. The APOE gene is currently considered to be the most relevant gene for sporadic AD. Our model might offer a platform to study the pathological mechanisms and drug testing studies in AD.
