RESUMO
We generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from fibroblasts of a clinically diagnosed 70 year old female Parkinson's disease (PD) patient heterozygous for a pathogenic missense variant (p.G2019S; c. 6055 G > A) in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene by using non-integrating Sendai viruses. The DANi-011A iPSC line has a normal karyotype and is free from Sendai viruses. The expression of pluripotent markers in the iPSC line was confirmed by immunofluorescent staining, and we confirmed its ability to differentiate into the three germ layers. The DANi-011A iPSC line can be used for modeling PD and as a drug-screening platform.

We generated eight induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with different familial mutations using non-integrating episomal plasmids. All iPSC lines have a normal karyotype, express pluripotent genes including POU5F1, NANOG, and show alkaline phosphatase activity, as well as the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers. These PD iPSC lines can be used for disease modeling to identify PD mechanisms and for the development or stratification of new drugs.
