Generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines SPPHi001-A and SPPHi002-A from a Huntington's disease family of Southwestern China
Summary
The Huntington's disease (HD) is still a devastating neurological disease without a specific cure. In this report, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from two members of a HD family from Southwestern China were reprogrammed into hiPSC lines by an episomal and non-integrating Sendai virus delivery method. The induced HD-hiPSC lines, SPPHi001-A and SPPHi002-A, were expanded and validated for their stem cell-like pluripotency, normal karyotyping, and capability of in vitro differentiation into three germ-layers. These newly generated HD hiPSC lines from Chinese HD patients enable us to further elucidate the mechanism of HD and discover its specific treatment. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s).
