Mutations in LMNA gene are known to cause a broad range of diseases called laminopathies. We have generated two induced pluripotent stem cell lines FAMRCi006-A and FAMRCi006-B from a patient carrying LMNA p. p.Arg527Pro mutation associated with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Patient-specific peripheral blood mononuclear cells were reprogrammed to iPSCs using Sendai virus reprogramming system. Characterization of iPSCs had revealed pluripotency marker expression, normal karyotype, ability to differentiate into three embryonic germ layers. The reported iPSC lines could be a useful tool for in vitro modeling of laminopathies associated with LMNA genetic variants.

Coronary artery vasospasm (CAV) is characterized by transient constriction of epicardial coronary arteries leading to angina. Its disease mechanisms are multifactorial but has centered mostly on endothelial dysfunction and smooth muscle hyperreactivity. To facilitate the investigation of these mechanisms in cell culture, we generated and characterized three induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from patients with CAV.

Tagless LysoIP for immunoaffinity enrichment of native lysosomes from clinical samples.

Lysosomes are implicated in a wide spectrum of human diseases including monogenic lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), age-associated neurodegeneration and cancer. Profiling lysosomal content using tag-based lysosomal immunoprecipitation (LysoTagIP) in cell and animal models has substantially moved the field forward, but studying lysosomal dysfunction in human patients remains challenging. Here, we report the development of the 'tagless LysoIP' method, designed to enable the rapid enrichment of lysosomes, via immunoprecipitation, using the endogenous integral lysosomal membrane protein TMEM192, directly from clinical samples and human cell lines (e.

Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism-17 is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by pathological aggregation of the tau protein with the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and subsequent neuronal death. The inherited form of frontotemporal dementia can be caused by mutations in several genes, including the MAPT gene on chromosome 17, which encodes the tau protein. As there are currently no medically approved treatments for frontotemporal dementia, there is an urgent need for research using in vitro cell models to understand the molecular genetic mechanisms that lead to the development of the disease, to identify targets for therapeutic intervention and to test potential drugs to prevent neuronal death.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines TRNDi037-A and TRNDi038-A were generated from the lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) of two patients with different heterozygous JAG1 variants resulting in Alagille syndrome (ALGS). ALGS is a rare genetic disease of haploinsufficiency that affects the formation of the bile duct, in addition to other symptoms. These ALGS iPSC lines can be used to model ALGS and aid in the identification of therapeutics to treat patients with ALGS.

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a severe X-linked disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the WAS gene, responsible for encoding WASP, a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton in all hematopoietic cells except red blood cells. The mechanism underlying microthrombocytopenia, a distinctive feature of WAS and a major contributor to mortality, remains not fully elucidated. In this study, using different gene editing strategies, we corrected mutations in patient-derived WAS-induced pluripotent stem cell lines, generating isogeneic WAS iPSC lines.
