Abstract

PARK7 mutations are accountable for the inherited Parkinson's disease. An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line FJMUUHi001-A was generated by expressing five reprogramming factors, OCT3/4, SOX2, c-Myc, KLF4 and Bcl-xL, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a 32-year old patient carrying a homozygous mutation of c.189dupA in PARK7. The iPSCs with a normal karyotype had the abilities to differentiate into three germ layers and expressed pluripotency markers without detectable residual plasmids. The cell line FJMUUHi001-A carrying the truncating protein PARK7 could be a useful tool to help comprehend the function of PARK7 in the iPSCs and differentiated cells from them.
