Generation of two iPSC cell lines (SIAISi020-A and SIAISi019-A) from an 82-year-old mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and her unaffected child from Chinese Han population
Abstract
IPSCs have great potential value in cell replacement therapy, pathogenesis research, screening for new drugs, and treatment of clinical disease. An 82-year-old woman with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and her unaffected child donated their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Their PBMCs were reprogrammed using human OKSM transcription factors (SOX2, OCT3/4, KLF4 and C-MYC) via a non-integrated complementary vector system. In the newly developed hiPSC series SIAISi019-A and SIAISi020-A, immunocytochemistry and the ability to spontaneously differentiate into 3 germ layers in vitro confirmed the pluripotency of transgene-free iPSCs. And their karyotypes were normal.
