Establishment and characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cell line from a Parkinson's disease patient harboring VPS13A gene mutation

Summary

Mutations in VPS13 gene have been recently reported as a genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we isolated the skin fibroblasts from a PD patient harboring VPS13A gene mutation (c. 4282_4289delinsA) and reprogrammed the fibroblasts to a novel patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line LCPHi002-A using transgene-free episomal plasmids to express OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, and LIN28. The LCPHi002-A line showed the normal karyotype, expression of pluripotency markers, and had multi-lineage differentiation capacity in vivo. This iPSC line of LCPHi002-A could be used for studying pathogenic mechanisms of PD. Copyright © 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
