Establishment of the induced pluripotent stem cell line PLAFMCi006-A from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of polycystic kidney disease patients with PKD2 gene mutation

[摘要] Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) caused by PKD2 mutation is an important type of autosomal dominant PKD. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a patient with PKD2 polycystic kidney disease were reprogrammed to obtain induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). After stable amplification, the pluripotency of the iPSCs was determined by identifying their cell-surface markers, their expression of pluripotency-related genes, and their ability to form teratomas with three germ layers in vivo. The establishment of the iPSC line could provide a basis for a kidney-like organ model of human PKD caused by PKD2 mutation for use in studying the pathogenesis of PKD along with relevant screening and testing intervention drugs.
