Here, we present newly derived in vitro model for modeling Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Our new cell line was derived by reprogramming of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (isolated from blood from pediatric patient) with Sendai virus encoding Yamanaka factors. Derived iPS cells are capable to differentiate in vitro into three germ layers as verified by immunocytochemistry. When differentiated in special medium, our iPSc formed spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes. As cardiomyopathy is the main clinical complication in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the cell line bearing the dystrophin gene mutation might be of interest to the research community.
We present here a new iPS cell line for modeling sporadic form of ALS. Cell line was generated by reprogramming skin fibroblasts isolated with explant culture technology from skin biopsy, donated by ALS patient. For reprogramming, polycistronic self-replicating RNA vector was used and derived iPS cells were characterized by immunocytochemistry and FACS (pluripotent factors expression), karyotyping, STR fingerprinting analysis and in vitro differentiation assay. New cell line showed normal (46, XY) karyotype and differentiated in vitro into cells from three germ layers. STR analysis proved the origin and originality of the cell line.

We generated new in vitro model for sporadic form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by reprogramming isolated skin fibroblasts into iPSCs. Fibroblasts were reprogrammed with commercially available synthetic polycistronic, self-replicating RNA vector. As verified by FISH, an early passages of a new iPSC line showed mosaic karyotype (cells with normal and abnormal karyotype 46,XY,t(2;14)(q13;p12) were present), while late passages contained only cells with abnormal karyotype. New iPSCs differentiated into all three germ layers and formed a teratoma in nude mice. Our iPSC line represents a new model for therapy testing and drug development in the field of ALS research.
