Human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) represent a unique opportunity to model lung development and chronic bronchial diseases. We generated a hiPSC line from a highly characterized healthy heavy smoker male donor free from emphysema or tobacco related disease. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were reprogrammed using integration-free Sendai virus. The cell line had normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency hallmarks, and differentiated into the three primary germ layers.The reported UHOMi007-A iPSC line may be used as a control to model lung development, study human chronic bronchial diseases and drug testing.
