Project description:Genetic mutations on leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) have been associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. The Gly2019Ser (G2019S) mutation on LRRK2 gene is a relatively common cause of familial Parkinson's disease in Caucasian population. In this study, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from LRRK2 (G2019S) bearing patient fibroblasts by cell reprogramming. We performed global gene expression profiling of LRRK2 (G2019S) heterozygous and homozygous patient iPSC lines, and the corresponding fibroblast lines they originated from. An age-matched wildtype human fibroblast line and H1 human embryonic stem cell (ESC) line were used as controls. Microarray gene expression profiling was done to: (1) Compare global gene expression differences between wildtype fibroblasts and fibroblasts from patients bearing homozygous and heterozygous LRRK2 (G2019S) mutation; (2) Compare global gene expression differences between wildtype iPSC and iPSC generated from LRRK2 (G2019S) homozygous and heterozygous patients; (3) Check that all iPSC generated from wildtype and patients fibroblasts are in fact similar to human pluripotent ESC.
Project description:We have generated human induced Pluripotent Stem cells (hiPSc) from Parkinson's Disease patients, using retrovirus-mediated delivery of reprogramming factors. hiPSc lines have been screened using SNP array to assess chromosomal stability (alongside the fibroblast lines from which they derived), and validation of the pluripotency of the hiPSc lines is provided by Pluritest assessment of transcriptome datasets, prior to differentiation to dopaminergic neuronal clutures and downstream functional assays. human iPSc lines were derived from human dermal fibroblasts from 2 Parkinson's Disease patients with heterozygous glucocerebrosidase mutations (GBA N370S) mutations, and 2 idiopathic Parkinson's Disease patients. SNP datasets from the 2 control individuals used in this study have been published previously [PMID 23951090; A mature physiological cellular model of human dopaminergic neurons Hartfield E.M., Yamasaki-Mann M., Fernandes H.J., Vowles., James W.S., Cowley S.A, and Wade-Martins R.

Project description:Gabriela Novak et al. utilize scRNA-seq to investigate expression profiles in iPSC-derived midbrain dopaminergic neurons from Parkinson's disease patients or healthy controls. Their results suggest a core molecular network associated with Parkinson's disease pathology, and provide a future resource for investigation of this critical disorder.
Project description:We established two clones of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) with the presenilin 2 mutation, N141 (PS2-1 iPSC and PS2-2 iPSC) by retroviral transduction of primary human fibroblasts. To show the similarity among 201B7 iPSC, PD01-25 iPSC(Sporadic Parkinson's disease patient derived iPSC), PS2-1 iPSC, PS2-2 iPSC, this experiment was designed. Undifferentiated 201B7 iPSC, PD01-25 iPSC, PS2-1 iPSC and PS2-2 iPSC were collected. Then, they were applied in this experiment.

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex systemic disease caused by neurodegenerative processes in the brain, in which the death of dopaminergic neurons (DN) of the substantia nigra is primarily noted. 50% of cases of familial PD are associated with mutations in the PARK2 gene. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their neuronal derivatives are powerful tool for disease modeling. Here, we presented the transcriptome profiles for neural progenitors (NP) and neurons, presumably DN, differentiated from iPSC lines of healthy donors and PARK2 mutations-associated PD patients generated on an NextSeq 500 System (Illumina). A comparative transcriptome analysis of neuronal derivatives of healthy donors and patients with PD will allow determining the contribution of mutations of the PARK2 gene to PD pathogenesis upon neuronal differentiation.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from sporadic Parkinson's disease patients and healthy control subjects were used for disease modeling. iPSC were differentiated towards midbrain dopaminergic neurons. For metabolic analysis, midbrain neuronal precursor cells were cultivated in growth medium supplemented with either 1.25 mM [U-13C]-glutamine or 21.25 mM [U-13C]-glucose. Metabolites were extracted and analyzed using GC-MS. The MetaboliteDetector software was used to analyze chromatograms, calculate mass isotopomer distributions (MIDs) and perform relative comparison of metabolite levels.
