Generation of a CFTR knock-in reporter cell line (MHHi006-A-1) from a human induced pluripotent stem cell line
Summary
CFTR encodes for a chloride ion channel expressed primarily in secretory epithelia in the airways, intestine, liver and other tissues. Mutations in the CFTR gene have been identified in people suffering from Cystic Fibrosis. Here, we established a CFTR knock-in reporter cell line from a human iPSC line (MHHi006-A) using TALEN technology. The reporter enables the monitoring and optimization of the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into CFTR expressing epithelia on a single cell level, as well as the enrichment of CFTR positive cells, which represent an excellent tool for Cystic Fibrosis disease modelling, drug screening and ultimately cellular therapies.
