RNA-based generation of iPSCs from a boy carrying the mutation m.9185 T>C in the mitochondrial gene MT-ATP6 and from his healthy mother
Summary
We used a non-integrative self-replicating RNA vector to establish four iPSC lines: two iPSC lines from a young male carrying the mutation m.9185 T>C in the mitochondrial gene MT-ATP6 (present at virtual homoplasmic level), and two iPSC lines from his healthy mother (carrying the mutation in only about 4 % of mtDNA copies). All iPSC lines exhibited pluripotency characteristics, were capable to give rise to cells of the three germ layers in vitro, and presented a normal karyotype. The derived iPSC lines retained the MT-ATP6 mutation at levels similar to those observed in the parental fibroblasts. Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
