Generation of refractory schizophrenia patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell line UJSi001-A

Summary

Schizophrenia is considered one of the most serious mental disorders nowadays. Approximately 30-60% of people with schizophrenia do not present adequate response to drug treatment and persist with symptoms of the disease; they are known as refractory schizophrenic people. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a refractory schizophrenia patient by electroporation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with episomal plasmids encoding OCT 4, SOX 2, NANOG, LIN 28, KLF 4 and LMYC. The resulting iPSCs had normal karyotype, were free of genomically integrated episomal plasmids, expressed pluripotency markers, and could differentiate into the three germ layers in vivo.
