Glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor with poor prognosis and low long-term survival rate. Here we described the production of an iPSC line generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 24-year-old female gliocytoma patient. The PBMCs were reprogrammed by the non-integrating Sendai Virus with human OKSM (OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC) transcription factors. The generated iPSCs were positive for pluripotent stem cell markers demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. Besides, they displayed a normal karyotype and had the potential to differentiate spontaneously three germ layers in vitro. Our model might be useful in studying the pathogenesis of gliocytoma patients.
