Generation of an integration-free human induced pluripotent stem cell line MUSIi010-A from occipital scalp fibroblasts of a male patient with androgenetic alopecia.

An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, MUSIi010-A, was established by Sendai virus (SeV) transduction of scalp fibroblasts from a 59-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Pluripotency of the iPSC line was verified by immunofluorescence staining of pluripotent markers and by in vitro trilineage differentiation. The MUSIi010-A line was shown to retain normal karyotype and free of SeV vectors at passage 17.

Derivation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (MUSIi004-A) from dermal fibroblasts of a 48-year-old spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 patient.

Dermal fibroblasts were obtained from a 48-year-old female patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). Fibroblasts were reprogrammed by nucleofection with episomal plasmids, carrying L-MYC, LIN28, OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, EBNA-1 and shRNA against p53. The SCA3 patient-specific iPSC line, MUSIi004-A, was characterized by immunofluorescence staining to verify the expression of pluripotent markers.

Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (MUSIi001-A) from caesarean section scar fibroblasts using Sendai viral vectors.

We generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from caesarean section scar fibroblasts of a 33-year-old healthy woman using transgene-free Sendai viral vectors under feeder-free condition. The established iPSC line, designated as MUSIi001-A, exhibited a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotent markers, differentiated into cells of three embryonic germ layers. Further analyses showed that the Sendai viral genome was absent at passage 25.
