Establishment of a collection of human pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSC) from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from three healthy elderly donors

Summary

The study of molecular mechanism driving osteoarticular diseases like osteoarthritis or osteoporosis is impaired by the low accessibility to mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from healthy donors (HD) for differential multi-omics analysis. Advances in cell reprogramming have, however, provided both a new source of human cells for laboratory research and a strategy to erase epigenetic marks involved in cell identity and the development of diseases. To unravel the pathological signatures on the MSC at the origin of cellular drifts during the formation of bone and cartilage, we previously developed iPSC from MSC of osteoarthritis donors. Here we present the derivation of three iPSCs from healthy age matched donors to model the disease and further identify (epi)genomic signatures of the pathology. Copyright © 2021 The Authors.
