Highlights:
ALSTEM offers human iPS cell line (iPS21) with ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 7 (ABCA7) deficiency This cell line is generated from pre-made footprint-free human iPS cells (cat# iPS11) by using gene editing method to introduce a deletion and frame shift in the ABCA7 gene. Sequencing results confirmed that this isogenic iPSC line has a stable homozygous 82 bp deletion in the exon 8 of ABCA7 gene. When cultured under standard human ES cell culture conditions, the morphology of human iPS cells is identical to that of human ES cells.
- Good model for studying AD-related pathologies in neurons induced specifically by ABCA7
- Ideal for drug discovery when used with ABCA7 wild type iPS cell line (cat# iPS11)
Description:
ABCA7 protein is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters which regulate the lipid metabolism in the central nervous system, as well as peripheral tissues. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified several ABCA7 variants as novel risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In vitro studies indicate over-expression of ABCA7 results in a significant decrease in amyloid-β (Aβ) production, while a more rapid uptake of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in ABCA7 knockout cells is mechanistically consistent with an increased Aβ production. It was therefore suggested that ABCA7 protein directly impacts amyloid-β pathology by altering APP trafficking and substrate availability.
Alstem’s footprint-free human iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cell line (cat# iPS21) carries ABCA7 KO mutation in both alleles. Sequencing results confirmed that this isogenic iPSC line has a stable homozygous 82 bp deletion in the exon 8 of ABCA7 gene. The morphology of this human iPS cell line is identical to that of human ES cells. The cells also express the pluripotency markers TRA-1-60, SSEA-3 and OCT4, and demonstrate strong endogenous alkaline phosphatase activity.
