Derivation of iPSC line (RCMGi002-A) from dermal fibroblasts of a cystic fibrosis female patient with homozygous F508del mutation.

Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common inherited diseases caused by mutations in CFTR gene, of which F508del is the most frequent. Currently, the possibility of cell therapy including genome editing is widely discussed. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells from fibroblasts obtained from a 22-year-old woman with clinically manifested and genetically proven disease by using non-viral, non-integrating RNA reprogramming vector that contains five reprogramming factors: OCT4, KLF4, SOX2, GLIS1, and c-MYC. The established cell line can express endogenous pluripotency markers, possesses a normal karyotype, and has the ability to differentiate into three germ layers in spontaneous differentiation assay.

Generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines (RCMGi004-A and -B) from human skin fibroblasts of a cystic fibrosis patient with compound heterozygous F508del/W1282X mutations in CFTR gene.

Skin fibroblasts obtained from a 28-year-old man with clinically manifested and genetically proven (F508del/W1282X) cystic fibrosis were successfully transformed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by using non-viral, non-integrating, self-replicating RNA reprogramming vectorthat contains five reprogramming factors: OCT4, KLF4, SOX2, GLIS1, and c-MYC as well as a puromycin-resistance gene. Two iPSC lines showed a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers and exhibited the potential to differentiate into three germ layers in spontaneous differentiation assay. These iPSC lines may be subsequently used for development of a personalized etiotropic treatment,disease modelling, cell differentiation and organoid formation, pharmacological investigations and drug screening.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line (RCMGi001-A) from human skin fibroblasts of a cystic fibrosis patient with p.F508del mutation.

Skin fibroblasts obtained from a 27-year-old man with clinically manifested and genetically proven (F508del/F508del) cystic fibrosis were successfully transformed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by using Sendai virus-based reprogramming vectors including the four Yamanaka factors, OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC. The iPSCs showed a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers and exhibited the potential to differentiate into three germ layers in spontaneous differentiation assay. This iPSC line may be subsequently used for development of a personalized etiotropic treatment including genome editing, and for disease modelling and drug screening.
